Need a human?
Use Someone.

Tell Use Someone what you are trying to get done, however you would normally explain it to another person. You do not need to know the profession, category or capability.

In-person help starts in Melbourne.Remote help can reach more of Australia when the capability and applicable rules allow it.

Simple by design

You talk normally.
The system does the sorting.

Conversation, not category forms. Use Someone keeps context, asks only what matters, checks whether the request can be facilitated, then finds the right human or team. A first-time smartphone user and a power user should both understand the next step.

01

Say what you need

“Help me move a couch”, “teach me guitar”, “check this PC”.

02

We structure it

Goal, context, timing, location, people, safety and any missing detail.

03

We check fit

Eligibility first, then capability fit, geography, reliability and availability.

04

You get one clear next step

One person or a compatible team, then one simple Job Space.

A Human Capability Network

A useful human can be anyone.

A profession is one kind of capability, not the definition of capability. Use Someone is built for practical know-how, hobbies, languages, creative skills, digital help, years of experience and qualified work.

Everyday know-how

I know how to do this.

Gardening, organising, sewing, cooking, moving help, phones, computers and useful things learned through life.

Passion or hobby

I can show someone.

Guitar, fishing, photography, languages, sport practice, crafts and knowledge people genuinely want to learn.

Qualified or ticketed

I already do this professionally.

Add the capability and the relevant credential. Use Someone checks the exact job before professional work becomes matchable.

White CardRSAWWCCTrade licence
New to Use Someone does not mean less capable.Matching checks minimum quality and eligibility first, then gives suitable people a fair opportunity instead of sending every offer to the same profile forever.
Real needs do not fit a catalogue

Ask for the outcome, not the category.

Use Someone can understand ordinary, professional, unusual and online needs. These are examples, not the limits of what you can ask. Understanding a request does not guarantee matching: credentials, conditions, real supply or review can still be required.

SkillScan

Don’t choose from our list.
Tell us yours.

SkillScan is open-world. Write anything you can genuinely help with. Use Someone structures it, then applies the relevant policy and verification pathway behind the scenes.

Professional capability
Credentials and authority to contract the exact job must be checked before bookability.
In person or online

One network. Different ways to help.

Tell Use Someone what you need first. If the work can happen online, the flow adapts without asking for a physical address that is not needed.

Melbourne in person

Matching uses real area, travel radius, availability and exact-job requirements.

Messages & files

Useful for documents, spreadsheets, photos and asynchronous help.

Live online help

Useful for tutoring, language practice, technology help and guided learning.

Remote delivery

Useful when a Someone can complete and deliver the agreed work online.

Ask Use Someone

Confused?
Ask the guide.

The built-in guide is not a general chatbot. It exists to help users understand their skills, eligibility, requests, verification and the next step inside Use Someone.

Example
“I’m a qualified electrician and want extra jobs on my days off. What do I need to verify?”

Understand → explain → guide → act

It can point directly to SkillScan, professional verification, a buyer request or a policy explanation. It cannot bypass Use Someone's safety and eligibility checks.

Trust by design

Honesty is a feature.

No fake reviews, fake availability, invented professional badges or manufactured social proof. If supply is limited in an area, Use Someone should say so.

Melbourne first

Physical matching starts with Melbourne. Coverage is built from real Someones, their capabilities, travel radius and availability. It is not assumed simply because a suburb is inside Melbourne.

Australia-first

Remote capabilities can expand more broadly when the service model and applicable rules support it.
