Uber could soon offer ‘taskers’ on hire for household chores

Uber is considering expanding its services beyond ridesharing and food deliveries by offering a new “Chore” service. This service would allow users to hire people for various tasks through the Uber app. Users can specify their needs, task duration, and desired arrival time for the hired person. The code found within Uber’s iOS app suggests that the service could include categories such as cleaning, furniture assembly, electrical help, and more. Uber may run a pilot for the “Chore” service before making it available to all users. Additionally, Uber is developing an AI chatbot for Uber Eats to help customers select their meals.
