The key features as listed by Microsoft are:

  • “Manage your team. Home Team will help you to centralize and manage your “team” of service providers so you don't have to dig through your contacts for that electrician you used two years ago.
  • Get recommendations. Directly connect with people you trust to share valuable recommendations for a lawn care specialist, auto mechanic, or fishmonger!
  • Share with co-workers. Join a work network to seek out and share the best tax accountant, financial advisor, etc. with your colleagues!”

Microsoft did not mention if they plan to launch versions for Android or iOS. Like with any other project from the Microsoft Garage, this might depend on the receptions of users.
