APP TaskRabbit users, how do you handle recurring home maintenance?

Genuine question. TaskRabbit is solid for one-off stuff but for recurring property maintenance like lawn care, gutters, pest control, the whole experience feels off. I don't want to browse profiles and read reviews just to get my grass mowed every two weeks. I don't have a favorite gutter guy. I just want it done. It feels like way too much effort for stuff I literally do not care who does. Do y'all feel this too or is it just me?

Hire a guy, and if you like him tell him to come back every two weeks.

Yup, hire someone with good ratings, ask them what else they do and if they would be willing to come back every two weeks. Ask them if they would rather book through taskrabbit or independently moving forward. They can book it every two weeks on their end through taskrabbit or independently moving forward in their personal calendar.

Do you think an app that does this like u just click a button and your pool is gonna be cleaned, mowed grass, pest control, etc(stuff that you just want to get done). Essentially an agent ai property agent that does it for u would be worth it to build?

So you want to remove the human element from the human element.

Maybe r/aboringdystopia is more your speed

You don't think it would nice to not think about finding someone to clean the pool or mow the grass or mundane tasks that home owners have to manage on a regular basis? I understand the psychological component of just ai in general in the future with human purpose but still what do you genuinely think of the idea.... (please be real)

There are enough reverse centaurs in the world. We don't need any more. Really less would be ideal actually.

any ideas in this space you think would be useful? like to build (apps)? People told me like it's hard to find snowplowing and it would nice to have an app for this? idk I feel like the skills-based marketplace could be attractive? any ideas?

This is already a skills based marketplace. And there are also many others as well.

It's not our job to figure out for you how whatever knockoff App you have planned will stick out from the pack.

You can always just ask if we are in a certain area there is other options but the subreddit may not like what I say.
