About D.I.Y. DAD
Toilet running? Faucet dripping? Wall coming down? Ask Hank first. D.I.Y. DAD is an AI home-improvement coach you actually talk to. Not a render of a finished room — a person to ask. Hank is the friend, brother or grandpa who's been there, for everyone who never had one to call. SOMETHING'S BROKEN Tell Hank what's wrong. He asks a question or two, then gives you the fix: the steps, the part, what it costs, and where to get it. Most repairs, start to finish, in under two minutes of conversation. PLANNING SOMETHING BIGGER Shelves, a backsplash, a bathroom refresh. Here Hank slows down and asks the questions that keep you from wasting money — your space, your dimensions, your tools, your experience — then builds the gameplan around the answers. HANK KNOWS WHEN TO SAY NO Gas. Breaker panels. Load-bearing walls. In-wall plumbing. Hank won't hand you a plan for work that needs a licensed professional — he'll tell you who to call, and then show you the part of the job that genuinely is yours. Every other source is rooting for you to try it. Hank is the one who'll tell you not to. That's the whole point. PICK HANK'S MOOD Buddy — smart-mouth friend who has your back Grandpa — warm, patient, knows his stuff Professor — calm, methodical, explains the why FREE — PLAN ANY PROJECT Full conversations with Hank, complete gameplans, parts lists with prices and shopping links, and every bit of his safety guidance. Five projects a month, free. GO PRO ($4.99/month) — GET THROUGH IT Planning it is free. Pro is for when you're standing in front of the work. Guided mode — one step at a time, not a wall of text Check my work — photograph any step and Hank tells you if it's right before you build on a mistake Hands-free voice — for when your hands are full Unlimited projects and gameplans Point your phone at the problem. Get the plan, the parts list, and an honest read on whether this one's yours to take on. D.I.Y. DAD provides general educational guidance. Hank is an AI coach, not a licensed contractor, electrician, plumber, or engineer. Always verify local code and permit requirements. Some projects require a licensed professional.
