There's a moment — toilet running for the third night in a row, water bill creeping up, no idea where to start — where most people just shrug and call a plumber. Fixly is for the moment before that.
Most home repairs are not hard. They're just intimidating because nobody told you what to expect, what to buy, or how long it should take. YouTube has the answer, eventually — usually after a 12-minute video with two ads, a tip jar, and a sponsor read. We wanted something faster: a clear, written guide you can scan, tailored to what you actually described.
Tell Fixly what's wrong in your own words, and we match it to a real, structured guide — tools needed, materials, time, cost, safety warnings, and ordered steps. If you connect your own AI key (Anthropic or OpenAI), Fixly can generate guides for anything outside our built-in library, with a follow-up chat for the questions that come up mid-fix.
Fixly is not a substitute for a licensed pro. For anything involving gas, major electrical, structural changes, or building permits — hire it out. Our goal is to handle the 80% of household problems that don't need a $200 service call.
