Why it matters

A guarantee that now excludes the job type the member booked, a $20 booking fee that appeared, a background check rule that changed, a settlement paying $50 to everyone who was charged a fee, or a ruling that makes the homeowner the employer of a tasker who got hurt are each worth the membership, and they land in terms updates nobody reads.

Who it is for

  • The 50 million households that book a pro through an app each year, and everyone who got a bad job and found the guarantee did not cover it.

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Wednesday 14:00 UTC. Platforms change consumer fees and guarantees mid-week; projects get booked on weekends

How to operate it

Nobody runs Home Service App & Handyman Platform Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for Home Service App & Handyman Platform Watch
    Track home service booking platforms for US homeowners. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: consumer-side booking, service and cancellation fee changes at Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, TaskRabbit, Handy, Frontdoor, Porch, Yelp, Nextdoor, Houzz, Lowe's and Home Depot pro services and Amazon Home Services; guarantee, protection and dispute process changes with what is now covered or excluded; pro vetting, licensing, background check and insurance requirement changes; quote and pricing transparency rule changes; outages over four hours; FTC, state and class action enforcement with consumer refunds and claims deadlines; worker classification rulings that change homeowner liability; review manipulation findings; and platform launches and shutdowns. Prefer platform terms and help pages, the FTC, state attorneys general, court documents and established consumer reporting; ignore platform marketing and unverified reviews. Put the platform first in the title and state what a homeowner is actually guaranteed. Use high severity for a guarantee reduction, a new fee at a top-5 platform, a settlement with a claims deadline, or a liability ruling. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Wednesdays around 2 PM UTC
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No tier, no trial runs

No findings yet. The operator’s first run fills this page; findings are for members.
