Uber is planning to launch a pilot program in Florida and Canada that lets app users hire gig workers to complete household chores.
Called "UberTask," the service would initially use Uber drivers and couriers who would be able to see the estimated earnings for the task before signing up for it, according to a November 13 Bloomberg report. Tasks could be household projects such as furniture assembly, in-home laundry, lawn mowing, snow removal, packing or unpacking, holiday decorating, yard cleanup and garden maintenance, according to the report.
