Question 1

What is Fixable?

Accepted Answer

Fixable turns any repair video or article into a clean step-by-step repair guide. Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or any website, and AI extracts the steps, tools, parts, and images for you in under a minute.

Question 2

How does the link import work?

Accepted Answer

You paste a URL. Fixable downloads the video (or reads the article), transcribes the audio, extracts key frames, and sends everything to Claude AI. The AI returns a structured repair guide with numbered steps, images pulled from the source video, a tool list, a parts list, and safety warnings. The whole process usually takes 30 to 60 seconds.

Question 3

Which sources does Fixable support?

Accepted Answer

YouTube (long videos and Shorts), TikTok, Instagram Reels, Reddit posts, and any repair article or website. Videos can be up to 30 minutes long. If a page has a repair tutorial, Fixable can probably read it.

Question 4

What types of repairs can Fixable help with?

Accepted Answer

Home appliances, plumbing, electronics, furniture, cars, bikes, tools, and almost anything else. Fixable works best for DIY repairs that do not require professional licensing. It is a great fit for anything you would normally try to learn from a YouTube tutorial.

Question 5

Is the AI advice always accurate?

Accepted Answer

The AI is accurate for most common repairs but it can make mistakes. Always verify instructions before acting on them and prioritize safety. Fixable is a guide, not a substitute for professional judgement on complex or dangerous jobs.

Question 6

What repairs should I avoid doing myself?

Accepted Answer

Never use Fixable for gas systems, structural work, HVAC, roof repairs, main electrical panels, or anything requiring permits or professional licensing. These can be dangerous and may void insurance or violate local codes.

Question 7

Is Fixable available on Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fixable is live on both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play to get started.

Question 8

Do I need to upload a photo?

Accepted Answer

No, photos are optional. The main flow is pasting a link to an existing video or article. You can also upload a photo to the AI chat later if you need help diagnosing something specific during your repair.
