Your agent can’t show up. Someone has to.
Pickups, drop-offs, returns, waiting for the plumber, and the services your users ask for next. One request, and Duckbill runs the whole errand: the calls, the payment, the person at the counter, the surprise at step 11. You never build the operation.
Early access. Pickups, drop-offs, returns, and waiting today. Services next.
Errands are never just an errand.
Every errand is a chain. Most of the links are software. A few need a body. Duckbill runs the whole chain and sends a person only where one has to be.
Needs a person. Everything else is software.
One real task: pick up the dry cleaning.
Your agent sent one request. Here is everything that happened after. It’s not that the AI doesn’t work. It’s that the real world doesn’t.

What we run.
Dry cleaning, prescriptions, packages, paperwork, the thing your user left at the restaurant.
The couch. The cable box. The mattress that arrived in the wrong size. Anything with a return window closing.
The plumber’s four-hour window. The delivery that needs a signature. The line at the DMV.
Home and upholstery cleaning, landscaping, then residential home services and nonclinical care. Eventually, the full services industry.
The frontier moves. We move with it.
Duckbill sits at the frontier of what AI can’t yet finish. Phone coordination today, the services your users expect tomorrow. The tasks there are always the highest-stakes ones: the moments that create loyalty for life or immediate churn.
Phone calls, payments, errands.
Basic services: home and upholstery cleaning, landscaping.

Questions
Can an AI agent send someone to run an errand?
Yes. Your agent sends the goal, the location, and a spending ceiling to Duckbill's errands API. Duckbill runs the whole chain, the calls, the payment, the person at the counter, and returns what happened, with photos when it matters.
What errands can Duckbill handle?
Pickups and drop-offs, returns and exchanges, and waiting: for a delivery, a repair window, or a line. Services like home cleaning and landscaping are next.
Does a person do the whole errand?
No. Most of an errand is software: finding out, confirming, paying, handling the thing that went wrong, reporting back. A person is sent only for the parts that need a body, like showing up, waiting, and handing over.
Where are errands available?
It depends on the errand and the location. Tell us where your users are and what they ask for, and we will tell you what we can run there.
What happens when the errand goes sideways?
Something usually does. The item isn't ready, the ticket is under a different name, the store closed early. Duckbill handles it in the moment, calls whoever needs calling, and reports back with what changed and what happens next.
When is the errands API available?
It is in early access. Request access and we will reach out with timing for your use case and locations.
