Fancy Hands offers on-demand virtual personal assistants who complete remote "desk errands" such as research, bookings, and phone calls via web, email, and phone. The service operates on flat-fee monthly plans ($25 for five tasks; $65 for 25 requests) and can arrange in-person errands through an integration with TaskRabbit's API. Assistants are distributed across the United States and the product supports photo-based requests, human-reviewed voice transcription, and task suggestions that use location, calendar, weather, and task history. The company has launched its first native iPhone app and is developing an Android app beta to expand mobile access. Fancy Hands reports users on every continent except Antarctica and completes about 60 hours' worth of assistant phone calls per day. The team includes a full-time staff of nine, and the company has raised $1 million in funding from named investors.
