Toolbox: AI Home Repair & DIY

Something's broken in your house. Now what? Film it and say what you see. Toolbox reads the video and your words together and tells you what's wrong, what it should cost, and whether it's safe to fix yourself. You can also type it out and add photos, or use all three. Everything sends together and the answer arrives in seconds as a card in your thread. HOW IT WORKS Open Toolbox and film the problem while you describe it. A dripping valve, a breaker that keeps tripping, a dishwasher that won't drain. Add up to three photos if they help. Send it, and your diagnosis lands in the same conversation, ready for questions. EVERY DIAGNOSIS CARRIES A SAFETY RATING Safe to DIY. Low risk. You get a step-by-step guide. Caution advised. Doable with care. You get the guide, with a pro one tap away. Pro recommended. The repair is dangerous. Toolbox does not show a guide here. It explains the hazard and finds you a vetted local pro. THE GUIDE, WITH ANSWERS AT EVERY STEP When it's safe to fix, the guide walks you through one step at a time with the tools and parts you need. Your thread is the chat. Ask about the diagnosis, ask about any step, or send a new clip if something changes, and Toolbox answers with your repair in mind. At the end it asks whether that fixed it, so an unfinished repair never gets lost. PROS WHO ARRIVE KNOWING THE ISSUE When you need a professional, Toolbox matches you with vetted local pros through our Thumbtack partnership, based on your diagnosis rather than just your zip code. Your diagnosis travels with the request, so the pro shows up prepared and knows exactly what to quote. Already know what you need? Tap Hire a pro on the home screen and skip the diagnosis.
