Repair and handyman requests without manual chat monitoring

We collect plumbing, electrical, furniture assembly and small repair requests from neighborhood chats.

  • Urgent home repair jobs go to the nearest available specialist.
  • The client needs a clear answer: who can come, when and how much it will cost.
  • Filtent separates real requests from advice, provider ads and household chatter.

Request examples

  • "Need plumber today, leaking tap"
  • "Looking for electrician for apartment"
  • "Who can mount a water heater tomorrow morning?"
  • "Need wardrobe assembly and washing machine hookup"

Quality criteria

  • Specific job or breakdown is named
  • Timeline, district or property type is included
  • Message comes from a client, not a service ad
  • Jobs, classifieds and household chatter are filtered out

What a workable request looks like

A manager does not need topic chatter. They need a message they can answer with a concrete offer: ask one clarifying question, name a price, show an option or move the contact into work.

  • it is clear what the person is looking for and why
  • timeline, budget, district, format or other working context is present
  • the person is choosing a provider, product or consultation
  • the message can go to a manager without reading the whole chat history

What we do not send to the work channel

The work channel should not become a second copy of the Telegram chat. It should skip noise that does not help a manager start a sale.

  • listings and offers from providers themselves
  • experience, rules and news discussions without a service request
  • recommendations without a concrete client task
  • messages where it is unclear what is needed, where and when

Where Filtent finds requests

Filtent monitors Telegram chats you provide yourself or selects sources by niche and geo. These are usually work, neighborhood, tourist, expat and niche chats.

The number of sources depends on the city, country and demand volume: some niches need 10–20 active chats, others use up to 200 sources.

How to connect your niche

Open the Filtent bot, pick niche 🚗 and city — we show sample requests and wire your team chat via /connect.

For core niches, filters are already built: demand phrases, stop-words and scoring are included upfront. Narrow niche customization is handled through a manager and agreed separately.

Which repair jobs usually appear

Repair leads are valuable when the message already names a concrete problem: leaking tap, tripping breaker, furniture assembly or appliance hookup. These requests can go directly to a specialist or dispatcher.

  • plumbing: leak, heater, mixer, blockage
  • electrical: outlets, lights, breaker, panel
  • small repairs: furniture, appliances, mounting, installation
