Uber’s ‘Chores’ service, offers handyman for odd jobs, rides

Uber, which delivers meals and rides, may launch a new company. A recent report suggests the corporation is working on coding to add a “Chore” portion to the app. The software will allow users to hire workers for daily tasks, according to reports. 

The report reported the code unearthed by famous iOS programmer Steve Moser. Even if he found it, the code doesn’t provide Chore service samples. But one can assume the ride-hailing startup will provide something like TaskRabbit. Same-day service platform TaskRabbit launched in 2008. It lists persons willing to clean, fix appliances, and move.

A “tasker” or “hireling” can be employed for odd duties for at least an hour under the code. Customers can provide more job details to assist in finding the perfect worker. They can specify what service they need, how long it will take, and when the tasker should arrive. 

Customers who utilize Uber’s ride-hailing and meal-delivery services will benefit from the Chore section. Users can enter the job location. They can also contemplate their wish before sending it. The app calculates pricing based on work duration.

Uber Chores were not yet available

A spokesperson for Uber wouldn’t talk about the code. Firms often look into adding new features because of this, but not all of them make it to users. Last year, another code suggested that Uber Eats was looking into an AI-powered robot to cut down on customers waiting for their orders and improve customer service. 

The Chore feature can’t promise a launch, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Uber began as a ride-hailing service that made it easy to book private trips. It added UberEats, a service that brings you food. 

It fights with Bolt in both getting a ride and getting food delivered. If the bosses agree with Chore, the company will grow. As was said, TaskRabbit and Angi are the most popular sites for same-day service.
