FixScope

FixScope is a mobile AI app that helps homeowners quickly triage common home problems (leaks, stains, cracks, drafts, electrical oddities) using guided questions plus photo/video capture. Instead of generic DIY advice, it produces a ranked list of likely causes, immediate safety steps, and a “stop/continue” recommendation that tells you when DIY is reasonable versus when to call a pro. It also generates a parts-and-tools shortlist with rough cost ranges, a step-by-step plan, and a time estimate based on your skill level. For issues that need a contractor, FixScope creates a clear scope-of-work summary and photo bundle you can send to multiple pros to get comparable quotes. The app stores a home’s issue history and reminders (e.g., monitor crack width monthly). It’s not magic: it’s a practical decision aid that reduces misdiagnosis and wasted trips to the hardware store.
