Thyim's Launch in Oklahoma City Paves the Way for Hyperlocal Community Support and Engagement

Thyim Introduces Community-Powered Task Assistance in Oklahoma City

Thyim, a groundbreaking platform aimed at enhancing community interactions, has officially launched in Oklahoma City, marking a significant step towards redefining how people approach daily tasks. With its community-driven approach, Thyim connects individuals seeking assistance—referred to as ‘Pins’—with verified local helpers known as ‘Helpers’ in an efficient and timely manner.

Revolutionizing Local Help

The innovative platform, available via its website www.thyim.com and mobile apps on iOS and Android, promises to deliver help for everyday tasks in less than 15 minutes. Whether it's a simple request like spider removal or larger tasks such as furniture assembly, Thyim's real-time model is geared towards addressing life’s challenges efficiently. As the community embraces the platform, users have already started utilizing Thyim for various activities, from preparing for family gatherings in celebration of Mother’s Day to tackling seasonal gardening chores.

R.M. Easterly, the Founder and CEO of Thyim, emphasizes that the platform is not merely an extension of the gig economy; rather, it is fostering a ‘people economy.’ "Thyim proves that everyone has value to offer. This platform is about trust, dignity, and showing up for your neighbors," he states. With an entrepreneurial background that includes founding multiple companies and successful exits, Easterly’s experience is instrumental in shaping the ethos of Thyim.

Inclusivity at Its Core

During its year-long beta phase, Thyim has successfully processed over 3,000 service requests and onboarded 1,500 Helpers from diverse backgrounds, highlighting its commitment to inclusion. Notably, the oldest Helper is a vibrant 77-year-old, showcasing that age is no barrier to lending a hand within the community. The platform is designed to promote trust among its users, ensuring those who want to provide or receive help can do so without any preconceived notions or stereotypes.

Thyim categorizes tasks into four flexible segments: Indoor, Outdoor, Roadside, and Seasonal. This structure enables people to easily locate the help they need, whether it's mundane chores like dishwashing or more specialized assistance such as event setup and breakdown.

Expansion Plans

Following its successful launch in Oklahoma City, Thyim aims for a multi-phase expansion plan, with a subsequent launch in Tulsa anticipated this Spring. Having recently been selected as part of the Tulsa Techstars Spring Cohort 2025, Thyim is committed to addressing broader challenges such as health equity and financial inclusion, through innovative community engagement.

Users can engage with Thyim today by downloading the app or visiting the website. The platform promises to make neighborly assistance more accessible, transforming community dynamics one task at a time.

As we enter this new era where technology is being harnessed to facilitate community interactions, Thyim stands out as a model of how inclusive platforms can foster connections and enhance the overall quality of neighborhood life. By enabling residents to lend a helping hand to one another, Thyim is paving the way for more meaningful and timely interactions among neighbors in Oklahoma City and beyond.
