Toolbox: AI Home Repair & DIY

Something's broken in your house. Now what?

Skip the rabbit hole of mismatched how-to videos and the wait for multiple estimates. Toolbox diagnoses home repair problems from a short video — in seconds.

HOW IT WORKS
Film what's happening. Tell us what you see. Our AI analyzes your video and audio together to identify the most likely cause, the safety risk, the estimated cost to fix, and the right next step. You get a clear diagnosis with everything you need to decide your path.

SAFETY-RATED, EVERY TIME
Toolbox rates every diagnosis Green, Amber, or Red — so you know what's safe to fix yourself, what needs care, and what to leave to a pro:

Green: Safe to DIY. Low risk. Get a step-by-step repair guide.
Amber: DIY with caution. Doable, but experience helps. You get the guide, with a pro on standby if you'd rather not.
Red: High risk. For your safety, Toolbox does not show a DIY guide here — we flag the hazard and match you directly with a vetted local professional.

For dangerous repairs, electrical, gas, structural, Toolbox stops you from making it worse and connects you with a licensed pro through our Thumbtack partnership. Your full AI diagnosis is shared with the pro before they arrive, so the quote is accurate and the job goes faster. No wasted trips. No misdiagnosis. No surprise bills.

AI CHAT — ON EVERY STEP
Got the diagnosis but something doesn't seem right? Tap AI chat to challenge it, ask follow-up questions, or share more details for an updated answer. It's a second opinion that adjusts in real time.

Once you're in a DIY guide, AI chat stays with you. Tap any step to ask about tools, alternatives, or troubleshooting. The AI remembers your diagnosis the whole way through.

WHAT TOOLBOX DIAGNOSES

Plumbing: leaky faucet, clogged drain, running toilet, pipe leak, low water pressure, water heater problems

Electrical: breaker tripping, flickering lights, dead outlet, exposed wiring, burning smell, GFCI not resetting

Appliance repair: refrigerator not cooling, dishwasher leaking, washer not draining, dryer not heating, garbage disposal jammed

HVAC — AC not cooling, furnace not heating, thermostat issues, frozen coil, weird noises

Structural & Exterior: roof leak, foundation crack, drywall damage, door not closing

If it's broken in your house, Toolbox can probably diagnose it.

MATCHED PROS, NOT RANDOM ONES
Toolbox matches you with a vetted local pro through Thumbtack, based on your diagnosis, not just your zip code. The pro arrives prepared with your full diagnostic context. Already know you need help? Tap "Hire a Pro" from the home screen anytime.
