General
5Task4Task is an AI-powered marketplace for getting things done — paid or by skill exchange. Someone who needs something done describes it in their own words, AI helps turn that into a clear task, and people who can do it send proposals.
AI assists. People decide: who to hire, which proposal to accept and how the work is carried out.
Task4Task is in product development, Pakistan first. The app isn’t publicly available yet; this website demonstrates it with simulations.
Anyone who needs something done, and anyone who can do something. Tasks range from everyday help to specialized work, done remotely or in person.
Eligibility requirements, such as a minimum age, are [To be finalized] and will be set out in the Terms.
No. Hiring (“I need someone to do something”) and Getting Work (“I want to find work I can do”) are two workspaces in the same marketplace, not two kinds of people. You can use either, whenever you need it.
Yes. The same person can post a task one day and propose on someone else’s the next.
Your reputation is kept separately for each side: as someone who hires, and as someone who works. A great record as a worker doesn’t stand in for how you treat the people you hire, and the other way round.
Anything you can describe that someone else can do: fixing a leaking tap, designing a logo, moving furniture, tutoring, editing a video, building a website. A task can be paid or done in exchange for another skill, and remote or in person.
Every task’s content is reviewed by AI before it is published, and can be flagged if it is unclear, incomplete or potentially inappropriate. What isn’t allowed on Task4Task will be set out in the Terms [To be finalized].
Getting Started
3Say or type what you need, in your own words. AI helps turn it into a structured task: title, description, category, skills, budget, location, schedule, duration and how many people it needs. Anything missing or unclear comes back to you as a question.
You then review and edit it in a seven-step wizard, which saves as you go. Paid tasks: Details, Skills, Location, Schedule, Budget, Extras, Review. Barter tasks: Need, Offer, Category, Location, Schedule, Extras, Review.
AI reviews the content before publishing. You decide whether to publish; AI never publishes on its own.
Publish your task and people whose skills, area and availability fit can send you proposals. You compare them, chat with people before hiring, and choose.
If you need help urgently, you can send an instant request to nearby workers who are Available Now, or browse the available workers near you.
Start from what you can do. In Getting Work you choose your skills and where you can work, and tasks that fit appear for you. You choose which ones to propose on.
Hiring
4Once your task is published, proposals arrive from people who can do it: a price or an exchange, when they can do it, and why them. You can chat with them before deciding.
When you accept one proposal, its terms become a contract you both can see. Hiring is always your decision; AI doesn’t choose for you.
When you accept one proposal, the others still under consideration become Rejected, with the note “Another proposal was accepted.” Each person can see where their proposal stands.
Yes. When work is submitted, you check it against what was agreed. If something isn’t right, you send a change request; the worker revises and resubmits.
The history of submissions and change requests is kept, so both sides see the same thread of work.
You approve the work and the job is complete. After the job, each side reviews the other.
Getting Work
3Choose your skills and where you can work. Tasks that fit appear in Getting Work, and AI uses your skills to support task recommendations.
Recommendations are suggestions. You choose which tasks to propose on.
Its terms become a contract both of you can see, and the work follows a guided checklist. For physical work that includes the journey and arrival; for remote work, submitting the work for the hirer to check.
Once the hirer approves the work, the job is complete and you review each other.
Available Now is a worker’s setting. Switch it on when you can take urgent requests, for a limited period and within a travel radius you set.
Hirers with an urgent need can send an instant request to nearby workers who are Available Now. Available Now is you being free; an urgent request is someone needing help fast. They are separate things.
Tasks
7Yes. You can speak or type your request, in English, Urdu or Roman Urdu.
AI turns an informal description into a clearer, structured task. It extracts the details — title, description, category, skills, budget, location, schedule, duration and worker count — and flags anything uncertain or missing as a question for you.
Before publishing, AI reviews the task’s content and can flag anything unclear, incomplete or potentially inappropriate.
Yes, all of it. You review and edit the result, and nothing is published until you decide to publish it.
Yes. A paid task is done for money, at a price agreed in the contract.
A barter task is done in exchange for another task, not for money. Each side’s work is the other side’s payment. A barter task describes what you need and what you can offer in return.
Either. Remote tasks are done from anywhere: the work is submitted, reviewed and, if needed, revised.
Physical tasks are done in person, at a place. Directions open in Google Maps, Task4Task shares the worker’s live location with the hirer during the journey, and the hirer confirms arrival.
Yes. You can send an instant request to nearby workers who are Available Now, or browse available workers near you.
Proposals
3A proposal is someone offering to do your task: a price or an exchange, when they can do it, and why them. Hirers can chat with people before hiring.
Every proposal has a status: Submitted, Viewed, Shortlisted, Counter-offer, Accepted, Rejected, Withdrawn, Closed. A proposal starts as Submitted.
Submitted: sent. Viewed: the hirer has opened it and hasn’t decided. Shortlisted: the hirer is considering it. Counter-offer: the terms are being countered before anyone is hired.
Accepted: hired; its terms become the contract. Rejected: not chosen — including when another proposal was accepted. Withdrawn: the person who sent it took it back. Closed: the opportunity itself closed; it doesn’t mean the proposal lost.
You can withdraw a proposal; its status becomes Withdrawn.
Whether a proposal can be edited after it’s sent is [To be finalized]. Terms can still change before a hire through a Counter-offer.
Contracts
3When a proposal is accepted, its terms become a contract both sides can see. The contract carries a guided checklist for the work, so both sides know what happens next.
Hirers can chat with people before hiring, and both sides stay in touch through messaging while the work is done. The task updates in real time as it moves along.
Messages and submissions can include photos, videos, files and voice notes.
Cancellation rules are [To be finalized]. They will be set out in the Terms before the app is publicly available.
Payments
3For a paid task, the price is agreed in the proposal and becomes part of the contract.
How payment is made, held and released, and which payment methods are supported, are [To be finalized].
Task4Task’s business model is still under development, and no fees have been published. Fees are [To be finalized].
A refund policy is [To be finalized]. Nothing about refunds is promised until it is published.
Barter
3In a skill exchange, a task is done in exchange for another task. You describe what you need and what you can offer, in the barter task wizard: Need, Offer, Category, Location, Schedule, Extras, Review.
Someone who can do what you need, and needs what you offer, can propose. Each side’s work is the other side’s payment.
Skills and services: what you can do, for what you need done. For example, designing a logo in exchange for maths tutoring.
Each side’s work is done, handed over and approved like any other task under the agreement, and each side reviews the other afterwards.
How to value an exchange fairly, and how barter disputes are settled, are open research questions.
Physical tasks
4For physical tasks, Task4Task shares the worker’s live location with the hirer during the journey to the task, as part of the job. It is used within that workflow, not shown publicly.
During physical execution: once a contract is in place and the worker is on the way to the task.
How long sharing lasts, and when an exact address is revealed, are open product questions [To be finalized].
The hirer confirms that the worker has arrived.
AI & matching
4Matching works both ways: tasks to the people who could do them, and people to the tasks that fit them. It is specified to take into account skills; distance, remote or physical work and travel radius; schedule, availability, urgency and Available Now; budget; paid or barter needs and offers; and experience, verification, reputation and reviews.
A match is a recommendation. People decide what to do with it.
No. AI helps structure tasks and recommend matches. It never publishes a task, hires anyone, accepts or rejects a proposal, negotiates, or makes contract decisions. People do.
Always. You compare proposals, talk to people, and choose who to hire. Recommendations are there to help, not to decide.
Before a task is published, AI reviews its content and can flag anything unclear, incomplete or potentially inappropriate. You see what was flagged and decide what to change.
Trust & Safety
7Identity verification helps establish who people are on the marketplace. A verified mark appears wherever that person takes part.
Verification is one signal among several. On its own it doesn’t guarantee safe or successful work. The verification steps themselves are [To be finalized].
After a job, each side reviews the other. Reviews sit after completion, so they relate to work that actually happened under a contract.
Reviews feed separate reputations: one for hiring, one for working.
Start in the job itself: message the other person, and if submitted work isn’t what was agreed, request changes.
If you still can’t agree, the job can go to a dispute, with the messages, files and submissions from the job as evidence.
When the two sides can’t agree, a job can go to a dispute with supporting evidence: photos, videos, files, voice notes, and the history of submissions and change requests.
The exact dispute procedure — and how disputes are settled fairly, especially for skill exchange — is still an open research question [To be finalized].
A dedicated way to report a person in the app is [To be finalized]. Until then, use the Contact page and choose “Report a problem”.
With layers around the work, not a single badge: identity verification, separate hiring and working reputation, reviews after real jobs, evidence, revisions and disputes, and care with physical locations.
None of these guarantees an outcome, and Task4Task doesn’t claim any security or privacy certification.
Exact physical task locations aren’t unnecessarily exposed publicly. Location is used within the relevant workflow: directions in Google Maps, and live location shared with the hirer during physical execution.
A privacy policy hasn’t been published yet [To be finalized].
Account
3What you can do and where you can work, a verified mark once your identity is verified, and your reputation — kept separately as someone who hires and as someone who works, built from reviews of completed jobs.
Task4Task is specified with real-time updates, so tasks, proposals and contracts update as they move along. Notification settings are [To be finalized].
The app isn’t publicly available yet, so there are no live accounts. Once it is, account help will be described here. For anything now, use the Contact page.
