Nearby AI is a new company from NewsBreak building a trust-first marketplace for local home services. We help homeowners understand a problem, what it should reasonably cost, and whether to hire at all before they are connected to a provider, and we help service providers win work on fit and outcomes rather than on speed of contact.
Our mission: give people clarity and control from the first sign of a problem to a job done right, and give good contractors work they are equipped to win.
We are a small founding team. We work from evidence, keep a written record of decisions, and hold a short set of product principles we do not trade for revenue: no pay-for-rank, no sharing of customer contact information beyond what the customer approved, and no quality claims we cannot substantiate.
Our product asks people to make a high-stakes household decision with confidence, then to control who may contact them. The same experience has to work as a guided flow and as a conversational one, serve a broad consumer audience with widely varying digital confidence, and remain clear when it is shared with a family member who is helping from a distance. On the other side of the marketplace, service professionals need an experience that makes the economics and the expectations legible before they commit. You will be the first designer and will set the standard for all of it.
