AI Specialist Needed: Build a Lead-Finding Tool for a Handyman Business (Social Media Monitoring)

I run a handyman business and want to build an AI-powered system that finds people actively asking for help with home repairs and services on social media, so I can reach them quickly. What I’m looking for: A tool or workflow that monitors social platforms, mainly Facebook groups (local community, neighborhood, and homeowner groups), and flags posts from people looking for services like: Drywall, painting, and general repairs Furniture assembly and TV mounting Plumbing and electrical fixes (minor) Deck, fence, and door repairs Moving help, odd jobs, and “can anyone recommend a handyman?” posts Core features: Scan for relevant posts using keywords and AI intent detection (not just keyword matching, so it understands “my faucet won’t stop dripping, who do you use?”) Filter out noise: ads, other contractors promoting themselves, and irrelevant posts Score or rank leads by how likely they are to hire (urgency, location, job type) Send alerts in near real time (email, Telegram, Slack, or SMS) Optionally, draft a suggested reply for me to review and send myself Log leads in a simple dashboard or Google Sheet so I can track them Nice to have: Support for other sources (Nextdoor, Reddit, Kijiji, Craigslist, X) Filtering by my service area Learning from the leads I mark as good or bad Important: The solution needs to operate within each platform’s terms of service and use compliant methods (official APIs, approved tools, group notifications, or human-in-the-loop approaches) so my accounts don’t get banned. Please explain your approach to this in your proposal. Ideal freelancer: Proven experience with AI/LLM tools (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) and automation (Python, n8n, Make, Zapier, or similar) Experience with social media monitoring, lead generation, or web data workflows Clear communication and the ability to explain things in plain language (I’m not technical) Able to deliver a working MVP quickly, then improve it Deliverables: Working lead-detection system, fully set up and tested Short documentation or video walkthrough 2 weeks of support after delivery To apply, please include: Examples of similar projects you’ve built Your proposed approach and tools, and how you’ll handle platform restrictions Estimated timeline and ongoing costs (APIs, hosting, subscriptions) Whether you’d suggest fixed price or hourly
