FoxTorque

Diagnosis first. That is the part nobody else has.

Existing marketplaces start with a search box and a form. FoxTorque starts with a photo, so the customer never has to know what a compression joint is.

Vision diagnosis in seconds

Probable cause, severity, immediate safety steps, and a DIY route when one exists. Built on Claude's vision models.

Pros bid on a described job, not a vague request

The diagnosis travels with the request, so offers are priced on the actual fault. Fewer call-outs, fewer surprises.

Vetted, rated, paid in the app

Identity and trade checks on every pro. Payment is held until the customer confirms the job is done.

Every truss, deck, and railing on this site is a photo away from a work order.

What FoxTorque can do.

One app, from the first photo to the last invoice. For the household that needs a leak fixed tonight, and for the company that needs a hundred of them tracked.

On-demand repairs

Something broke. Photograph it, get offers from nearby pros within minutes, pick one, and track them to your door.

Diagnosis

Not sure what is wrong, or whether it is urgent? The AI tells you the likely cause, how serious it is, and what to do right now. Free, no booking needed.

Scheduled repair or upgrade

Plan the bathroom fan, the new socket, or the loose railing for a day that suits you. Fixed price agreed up front, pro confirmed in advance.

Continued services

Cleaning, boiler checks, gutter clearing, seasonal maintenance. Set a rhythm once and the same trusted pro comes back on schedule.

For companies

Construction site quality control

Subscription per site

Your QC lead walks the site with the app. Every defect is one photo. FoxTorque classifies it, assigns it to the responsible trade, and that team gets a notification with the location and the fix. The site manager watches the list go down.

Housekeeping for landlords and property managers

Per unit or per portfolio

A tenant photographs the dripping tap and sends the request. The landlord sees the diagnosis and the expected cost, approves with one tap, and the repair runs through the normal FoxTorque flow. Every job is documented against the unit.

Why we build for the trades.

People who work on AI expect skilled trades to be among the last jobs it replaces, and among the first to see more demand because of it. FoxTorque is meant to support that sector: more work reaching tradespeople, with less time lost on quoting, scheduling, and chasing payment.

I'd say it's going to be a long time before it's as good at physical manipulation. So a good bet would be to be a plumber.

A trillion-dollar market that still runs on phone calls.

Home repair and maintenance is one of the largest consumer categories on earth, and most of it is still booked by word of mouth and local directories.

Before marketing and overhead

The competition hands you a phone number. We hand you a fixed problem.

Today's marketplaces all do one thing well: connect you to handymen. Then they step back, and both sides are left to describe, quote, haggle, schedule, pay, and hope. FoxTorque runs the whole chain inside one app.

Why it matters for customers

Every hand-off is a place to lose them. Describing a fault you do not understand, waiting for callbacks, and paying blind are the reasons most repairs still go through a friend of a friend.

Why it matters for pros

Lead-gen models charge per lead whether or not it converts, and send jobs that are not scoped. A pre-diagnosed, fixed-price job with payment secured is worth bidding on.
