02How it works

Four steps. You only do the first one.

  1. You ask

    Call, text or WhatsApp, or talk or type on the website. Say it the way you would say it to a neighbour.

  2. HereHum finds the local options

    Businesses and services near you that fit what you asked.

  3. It tells you plainly which ones it can act on

    Every business carries a note saying what HereHum can and cannot do for it.

  4. It does the next thing

    Where a business is connected, HereHum passes a note, chats with them for you, or books. If it cannot, it says so.

A local service should look local.

Real Surbiton, not a stock town. The station, the parade, the river.
