What an AI assistant may do for a homeowner on InstaBids
An AI assistant can help a homeowner get bids on InstaBids, but only for a homeowner who asked it to, and only inside that homeowner's own account.
You can connect an AI assistant, such as ChatGPT or Claude, to your InstaBids account.
What an assistant may do, for a homeowner who asked it
- Read the public guide pages and check whether InstaBids serves the area.
- Help write the request, so a stranger could price the job from it.
- Fill in the request inside the homeowner's own signed-in session.
- Attach the photos the homeowner chose.
- Read the bids and compare them with the homeowner.
What the homeowner does
- The homeowner presses publish to send the request to contractors.
- The homeowner picks the contractor.
What an assistant must never do
- Act for a homeowner who did not ask it to, or pretend to be a person.
- Create an account or confirm an email address for anyone.
- Contact contractors, inside or outside InstaBids.
- Pay, or enter any payment detail.
- Get around the contact-detail filter or any other privacy or safety step.
- Collect or keep data about anyone other than the homeowner who asked.
