Works inChatGPTClaudeGemini
Help me decide whether to fix this myself or call a professional.
The problem: [DESCRIBE WHAT IS WRONG]
Where it is: [ROOM OR PART OF THE HOME]
My skill and tools: [DETAILS]
Rent or own: [RENT / OWN]
Tell me what the safe checks are, which problems are usually fine to try myself, which always need a professional, what a fair job might involve and how to find and question a tradesperson. Warn me about anything involving gas, mains electricity, structure or water damage. If I rent, remind me to tell my landlord.
Tip: Take photos of the problem before you do anything.
