Ducks harmed

What we're unreasonably good at.

Customer service & red tape

Refunds, disputes, billing errors, cancellations

  • Fight a $200 flight change fee
  • Negotiate a lower cable bill
  • Call about a denied insurance claim

Vendor research & discovery

Quotes, comparisons, finding people who don't have websites

  • Get quotes from 3 moving companies
  • Find the best price on a specific mattress
  • Compare contractors and tell me which to pick

Appointments & reservations

Doctors, dentists, salons, restaurants, mechanics

  • Book a doctor who takes your insurance and has openings this year
  • Reserve a restaurant that doesn't take online reservations
  • Schedule car maintenance at the dealer

The soul-crushing stuff is kind of our thing.

Built for:

In the age of AI, everyone's trying to automate humans out of existence. We went the other direction.

AI handles the research. Humans handle the parts where you need to argue with someone who's contractually obligated to say no.

Not this.

Cat memes

Automations that send you useless text notifications about things already in your email

Awkward, overly formal AI email drafts that sound like a robot lawyer

Calendar automations that notify you your schedule is overbooked (as if you didn't already know)

AI-generated images with too many fingers

This.

Your airline refund. In your account.

Your gym membership. Actually canceled.

Your contractor. Showing up Tuesday.

Your insurance claim. Disputed and won.

Your to-do list. Someone else's problem now.

We want you to do the minimum.

Finally: a productivity tool that requires you to do less, not more.

People Are Saying Things

Mostly good. Some still in shock.

"I forgot what my insurance company's hold music sounds like."

Someone who used to know every note

"They canceled my gym membership without the guilt trip. I cried a little."

Person who's been 'too busy' since March

"I gave them something I'd been avoiding for 6 months. Done in 20 minutes. I'm not okay."

Founder who procrastinates

"Duckbill called Comcast for me and I think they enjoyed it."

Startup Founder

"I used to spend Wednesdays on hold. Now I spend Wednesdays working."

Executive

"I haven't called an airline in 8 months and my life is measurably better."

Frequent Flier

"My contractor actually showed up on Tuesday. I didn't think people did that anymore."

Homeowner

"My to-do list had 47 things on it. Now it has 12. The other 35 are someone else's problem."

Busy Parent

"They negotiated my cable bill down $40/month. I've been overpaying for 3 years like an idiot."

Reformed Cable Subscriber

It's time to duck it.

Everything annoying you've been putting off. Consider it handled.

We're serious

but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Duckbill works as a standalone app — but if you're already living inside Claude, ChatGPT, or your own AI workflows, you can connect Duckbill directly via MCP. Same humans, same results, right where you already work.

Ask your AI to make a phone call, book something, or handle the messy real-world stuff it can't do alone. Duckbill picks it up from there.
