We handle the stuff you keep putting off.

Phone trees. Appointment scheduling. Customer service hell. Refunds that require a PhD in persistence. If it's annoying and takes time, we'll do it.

Phone Calls

The ones you've been avoiding for weeks.

  • -Call the insurance company and figure out why they denied that claim
  • -Negotiate with Comcast (we're very good at this)
  • -Follow up with the contractor who's been "almost done" for three weeks

Medical Appointments

Because calling 47 offices to find availability is not healthcare.

  • -Book your annual physical (and actually go this time)
  • -Find an in-network specialist who can see you this decade
  • -Schedule dentist appointments for the whole family without the calendar Tetris

Scheduling Everything Else

Life has a lot of appointments. We'll handle them.

  • -Coordinate car maintenance around your actual schedule
  • -Book vet appointments, grooming, dog walking
  • -Schedule home repairs with vendors who show up

Customer Service Battles

We'll sit on hold so you don't have to.

  • -Track down lost packages that are "out for delivery" in another dimension
  • -Resolve billing issues that require 45 minutes and a supervisor
  • -Cancel subscriptions that make it intentionally difficult

Refunds & Returns

Getting your money back shouldn't require a law degree.

  • -Get airline refunds when plans change
  • -Process returns for online orders (yes, even the complicated ones)
  • -Chase down security deposits from landlords with selective memory

Research & Purchasing

We'll do the homework. You make the final call.

  • -Compare quotes from moving companies and recommend one
  • -Find the best price on specific items across retailers
  • -Research weekend trips that fit your budget and aren't obvious

Vendor Management

Coordinating, following up, keeping everyone on track.

  • -Get quotes from multiple contractors
  • -Schedule and coordinate home services
  • -Follow up on delayed orders or projects

Life Admin

The miscellaneous category of modern exhaustion.

  • -Send gifts (good ones, not just candles)
  • -Handle paperwork that requires calling places
  • -Follow up on literally anything you've been meaning to follow up on

Or just... tell us what you need.

Duckbill isn't a flowchart. It's infrastructure. If it's legal, ethical, and doesn't require specialized professional licenses, we can probably handle it.

"Find a dog-friendly Airbnb for Thanksgiving that takes my anxious German Shepherd"
"Call the school about that permission slip I definitely didn't forget about"
"Book a dinner reservation somewhere my in-laws will like but I can also tolerate"
"Figure out why my package has been in Memphis for 6 days"
"Find someone who can hem these pants by Friday"

We know our lane.

  • Tasks requiring professional licenses (legal, medical, financial advice)
  • Anything illegal or unethical (obviously)
  • Certain government/compliance matters that require you personally
  • Fully subjective taste decisions where there's no clear "done"
