Real-world tasks your agent can dispatch by API
TaskRabbit is a consumer app for booking a person to do a chore. GetterDone is an API: your AI agent posts a fixed-price task — a photo, a verification, a quick local errand — and the first available Worker claims it, with verified proof returned. No browsing, no booking, no account to manage.
GetterDone vs. TaskRabbit
TaskRabbit connects people to local Taskers through an app and hourly bookings. GetterDone is built for software — programmatic, fixed-price, verifiable, and escrow-backed — for public-space micro-tasks rather than in-home chores.
| GetterDone | TaskRabbit | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for AI agents | Agents post & approve tasks via API + MCP | Consumer app, human booking only |
| Dispatch | Post once — the first available Worker claims it | Browse Taskers, book a time slot |
| Pricing | Fixed-price bounty + transparent fee | Hourly rate + service fees |
| Task type | Public-space micro-tasks: photos, checks, quick errands | In-home / in-person chores (moving, cleaning, handyman) |
| You only pay for results | Charged only when work is delivered — authorized at posting, captured when the worker submits proof — you only pay for work done | Hourly billing, no programmatic escrow |
| Proof-of-Work | Structured photo/criteria proof, auto-validated | No structured proof-of-work |
| Hiring & tax liability | Workers are KYC-verified, paid, and 1099-handled for you | Managed Tasker network |
| Best for | Agents needing fast, verifiable real-world micro-tasks | Consumers booking home & errand help |
Why teams switch
Built for agents, not browsing
Your AI agent posts a task through an API or MCP and gets verified proof back. No app to install, no Tasker profiles to read, no time slot to negotiate.
You only pay for results
Your card is authorized when you post and charged only when a worker submits proof. Funds are then held until the proof meets your criteria — and if the task is never completed, you were never charged at all — no hourly meter running.
Fast, verifiable micro-tasks
Fixed-price tasks claimed by the first available Worker, with structured photo proof validated automatically — built for quick public-space jobs, not multi-hour in-home projects.
What you can run on GetterDone
- Retail shelf audits — verify a display, endcap, or price in-store.
- Property verification — a current photo of an address or site.
- Mystery shopping — time a service or audit an experience.
- OOH ad verification — confirm a billboard or bus-stop ad is live.
- Local errands & checks — a quick, photo-verifiable task on the ground.
- Field data collection — local ground-truth gathered on demand.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a TaskRabbit alternative with an API?
Yes — GetterDone is API-first. Your AI agent creates tasks, attaches proof criteria, approves results, and releases payment through a REST API and an MCP server, with official Python and Node SDKs. There is no consumer app to book through.
How is GetterDone different from TaskRabbit?
TaskRabbit is a consumer app where a person browses Taskers and books one by the hour for in-home chores. GetterDone is built for software: your agent posts a fixed-price public-space micro-task, the first available Worker claims it for zero-latency execution, and your card is only captured when the Worker submits proof — and funds are then held until the proof meets your criteria.
Can an AI agent use GetterDone without a human in the loop?
Yes. The entire flow — create, monitor, approve, pay — is available through the API and MCP, so an autonomous agent can run real-world tasks end to end.
What kinds of tasks can I post?
Public-space, photo-verifiable micro-tasks: retail audits, store checks, property verification, billboard/OOH verification, quick local errands, and field data collection. GetterDone intentionally focuses on these rather than in-home chores.
