Crowdsourced Guidance Apps

The Crowdpilot App Provides Coaching for Social Scenarios

— February 18, 2014 — Tech
If you’ve ever found yourself in a social situation where it would be helpful to discreetly get some guidance, the Crowdpilot app is like a dream come true. The app seems to be like a modern take on a comical scenario that’s used in movies, where a character is coached by a nearby friend through an earpiece, who provides step-by-step advice in order to help things go smoothly. Crowdpilot works pretty much in the same way, but in an app version.

Crowdpilot has several different situations that it will provide guidance for, including: dates, arguments, consolations and meetings. Users may recruit help from Facebook friends, volunteers, or even hire assistants for expert advice in-app. The Crowdpilot app is free to download and hopefully, it will bring more success than this technique usually does in the movies.
Trend Themes
1. Crowdsourcing Guidance - The rise of crowdsourced guidance apps like Crowdpilot creates opportunities for individuals to receive real-time advice and support in various social scenarios.

3. Coaching and Advisory Services - The emergence of discreet coaching apps highlights the potential for coaching and advisory services to offer their expertise remotely through mobile applications, fostering convenience and accessibility.
