The 'Guru' app is positioned as a versatile education and advice solution for consumers that will allow experts to monetize their skills and let users get the right kind of information they need in an on-demand basis.
The app works by having gurus sign up and provide their prowess capabilities to other users that can get in contact with them at a rate of $1 per minute for a video session. This could be to ask a specific question or even as a tutoring option to get help with a very specific skillset for users who are learning a new trade or skill.
The 'Guru' app is slated for a 2019 launch and works purely off of user's smartphones to let them access the service from anywhere.
