surfaced semanticallyAngi reschedules jobs last-minute and uses deceptive AI support agents

This erodes marketplace trust and leaves customers stranded. The problem reflects poor platform governance rather than a buildable software gap.
Home Service Marketplaces Send Unvetted Workers With No Refund on Poor Work
Gig marketplaces send newly hired, unvetted contractors to home service jobs and retain payment even when work is incompetent or incomplete. Customers have no recourse because refund policies do not cover cases where the work was attempted but failed. This is a structural trust and quality assurance gap where platform incentives do not align with service quality.

Angi-sourced contractors repeatedly fail to appear for booked service appointments with no accountability from the platform and no proactive follow-up to reschedule or refund affected customers.
Home Services Contractors Provide No Invoice and Poor Quality Work
Homeowners booking contractors through marketplace platforms report technicians arriving unprepared, performing substandard work, and leaving without providing invoices or documentation. Multiple callbacks are required to reach minimally acceptable results. The platform provides no accountability mechanism for contractor performance or billing transparency.
Home Services Marketplace Delivers Poor Leads and Overcharges Small Businesses
Local contractors pay premium rates to home service marketplaces but receive low-quality leads with poor contact and close rates.

Small businesses find themselves locked into contracts that cost more than they generate.
