Creating and refining a job with Gen AI and publishing a public job are free. No Gen Points are charged for AI messages, voice input or Gen Lightning Mode.
Free AI use has a daily allowance that resets at midnight in Winnipeg. If you reach it, Manual Mode remains free. For family-managed jobs, the job owner's allowance applies.
Optional private jobs have a separate, non-refundable Gen Point charge, shown before confirmation. It applies each time you publish as private or change a public job to private. Invitations and optional category notifications are included.
Posting a job on HelperGen is designed to be simple.
1. Start Your Job Post
Click the "Create New Job" button on your dashboard to open a chat with Gen, your AI assistant.
2. Choose Your Method
You have three easy options:
A) Use Gen
Simply type or speak your request in the chat. Gen will guide you through the details like the budget and schedule.B) Use Gen Lightning
Provide a brief one-sentence description or a single voice note of your task. Gen Lightning will instantly generate a complete, structured job draft for you to review, bypassing the back-and-forth conversation. This is the fastest way to post when you are on the go.C) Use Manual Mode
Click the "Manual Create" button at the top right of the page, then fill out the form step-by-step.
3. Add Photos (Important)
We highly recommend uploading pictures of the job. Photos enable providers to give accurate quotes and can serve as proof of work if a dispute occurs.
4. Review & Publish
Double-check the final summary of your job post. When ready, click "Publish" to publish your public job for free. If you choose private visibility, the displayed Gen Point charge applies.
