Posting a request

A great request is specific. "Make me a video" gets shrugs. "Film yourself explaining quantum entanglement to a houseplant, 90 seconds, deadpan" gets applications. The detail is the request.

Before you can post

You need a verified email and a card on file. We don't charge the card until you actually pick someone — it's there so a picked fulfiller knows the money is real. Add one in payment settings.

Writing the request

• Title. Short and vivid. This is what people scroll past or stop on. "Whisper my grocery list in French" beats "Audio recording needed."
• Description. The specifics. Exact constraints, the vibe, what "done" looks like. The more precise you are now, the less revision drama later — and if there's ever a dispute, the description is what the human moderator reads first.
• Category. Pick from the 12 kinds of weird so the right people find it.
• Delivery format. Video, photos, audio, writing, a physical item, live call, digital file — pick what you want back. Multiple formats are fine.
• Reference photos. Optional but powerful. A picture of the thing removes a paragraph of guesswork.
• Location. Pin one for IRL errands and place-specific asks; the request shows up in location filters. Leave it off for anything doable from anywhere.
• Price. What it's worth to you, between $25 and $2,500 (the form shows the range in your currency). Pricing guidance:
  • Under ~$50: quick, low-effort asks. Fine, but expect fewer takers for anything fiddly.
  • $50–$250: the sweet spot for most creative requests.
  • $250+: real commissions — expect (and welcome) counter-proposals and questions.
• Deadline. Requests expire if nobody's picked in time (14 days by default), so give it a sensible window. Expired with no pick = nothing charged, ever.

The moderation pass

Every request is read by a human before it goes public — usually fast, within a day. We're checking for the : nothing illegal, hateful, exploitative, or involving minors. Weird is the point; harmful is the line. Reviewers see the request, not your identity.

If it's rejected you'll get the reason. Repeated rejections earn strikes, so don't keep lobbing the same banned thing over the wall.

After it's live

Applications land in your request's manage page — each with a pitch, a proposed price (yours or a counter), and the applicant's track record. You'll get notified as they arrive.

• Chat with applicants before picking. One clarifying answer often improves every later application too — consider editing the request to bake it in.
• Reply in chat. Fulfillers often have exactly one question between "interested" and "committed."
• Pick when ready. That's the moment your card is charged (price + 5% fee) into escrow, and the job begins. The full pick-to-accept flow is in .

If your first pick falls through — backout, no delivery — your escrow is protected and you can pick someone else.

Getting more (and better) applications

• Be concrete about the deliverable. Vague requests scare off the good ones.
• Price it fairly for the effort. Lowball posts sit unfilled; the feed is a market and it can smell a $25 "quick logo, should take 5 minutes."
• Add references. A photo or link removes guesswork.
• Consider a boost for time-sensitive asks: Spotlight ($5/24h, top of category), Front page ($15/24h), or Trending ($25/72h). Details in .

Editing, closing, expiry

• Spotted a typo or want to clarify? Edit while it's open; substantive edits may pass moderation again.
• Done with it? Close it — applicants are notified, nothing is charged.
• Nobody picked by the deadline? It expires quietly. Nothing was charged; repost any time with a sharper pitch or a better price.

Direct requests (request a specific person)

Already know your weirdo? Send the request straight to them:

• From their profile ("Request @x directly") or from a completed job ("Request @x again") — both open the composer pre-targeted at them.
• A direct request is private to the two of you. It never appears on the discover feed, in search, or anywhere public. Only the invited person can see it and apply.
• It still passes the same human moderation, the same escrow, the same everything. The only difference is who can see it.
• They're notified the moment it goes live. If they ignore it, it expires like any request — nothing charged.
• Changed your mind mid-compose? Hit the × on the banner and it becomes a normal public request.

What's public

The request itself is public on the under your handle — that's how strangers find it (direct requests excepted — those stay between you two). Your name, email, location (beyond what you wrote), and payment details are not. The finished delivery stays private unless both you and the fulfiller opt in to showcase it.
