From conversation to the right craftsperson

Use AI to describe your job, then continue securely in Flip to request and compare quotes.

  1. Describe the work

    Explain the work, approximate scope, location and timing. Your assistant can help write a useful brief. Never share passwords, one-time codes or payment credentials in chat.

  2. Sign in and continue

    Open Flip in the browser your assistant is using. When sign-in is required, sign in yourself and continue the same job flow. Signing in through a different browser does not automatically connect your assistant.

  3. Review before publishing

    Check the description, address and any photos. Only confirming publication makes the request available to relevant companies. Provider availability varies by location and trade.

  4. Compare and agree

    Read actual offers in your job. A request is not a booking, and an AI estimate is not an offer. Choose a company and agree on price, scope and dates before entering an agreement.

You stay in control

An assistant with browser access can help with the normal flow. Browsers supporting WebMCP also receive tools for the description, questions, address and preview. You can review the draft before signing in. Publication is a separate action.
