About The Customer
The primary customers of Help! are students who need quick, targeted help with specific questions or problems. These students may not have the time or resources to commit to traditional tutoring sessions, and instead prefer a more flexible, on-demand solution. Tutors who want to earn money by answering questions in their areas of expertise are also customers of the app. The app is particularly useful for students during the school year, and the company looks forward to growing further once schools reopen in September.
The Challenge
The traditional tutoring model often requires a significant time commitment from both students and tutors, which can be a barrier for those seeking quick, targeted help. This is particularly true for students who may only have a single question or a specific problem they're struggling with. The challenge was to create a platform that could connect students with tutors for single-question tutoring, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution. The platform needed to be user-friendly, fast, and compatible with an AI API to determine the subject, difficulty, and prices of questions to match questions to tutors.
The Solution
The solution was the creation of Help!, an app that connects students with tutors for single-question tutoring. The app works by allowing a student to take a photo of the problem they're stuck on, get a price quote, and receive an answer/explanation a few minutes later. Tutors, on the other hand, swipe through questions/prices that are in the subjects they want to see, take a photo of their answer, and earn money per question. The app uses AI to determine the subject, difficulty, and prices of questions to match questions to tutors. The app was built on Bubble, a no-code platform, which enabled a short time to launch, fast iteration, and compatibility with the AI API that makes Help! possible.
