Query-Point® is a directory into which “advertisers” of products, services, places or celebrities may place information and set the range of the availability of that information based upon whatever distance makes the sense in terms of being obtainable. We call this information a listing The app is the gateway to retrieving the information. An app user requests the information using a “keyword”, and may then listen to the response placed into the directory by the advertiser The system is GPS based. Real estate signs, local storefronts, billboards and bus benches and historical markers all have a range of operation of 1200-feet from the sign or storefront. This is in effect a 2400-foot umbrella within which the system will operate Government signage has an operational range of 2200-feet, or an umbrella of 4400 feet. Distances go up dramatically from there Hyper local geo fence promotion, which could include schools, may have a 4-mile radius of operation Ads on a city bus might use a 15 mile radius (A 30 mile umbrella) to allow information to be requested anywhere along a route Large local businesses, in particular ones using a lot of trucks with their name painted on them, might choose a 50-mile radius of service. Radio and local TV advertisers might choose a 150-mile radius of service to get the coverage needed where-ever the ad is heard. Each “advertiser” has a pin on the map found in the app which may lead to acquiring the same information as would be gained when within proximity of the fixed point Each listing has a QR code that takes people to the same information in a universal format that does not require use of the app Query-Point® is a directory that allows consumers using our app to “pull” Internet based information from specific entities. Unlike search engines, the entity being requested provides the information the user receives How it Works As the app user comes “in range” of the enabled sign the user is able to push the microphone button and say the keyword(s) found on the sign that triggers the system to provide information. Usually this action is stimulated from viewed signs that are nearby. The app user says what is written on the sign or heard over the air, (the keyword(s)) into the app and the system responds with immediate audio information, and supplemental information through the app. The supplemental information may include web links, pictures, contact information and video. The information is placed on the system by or on behalf of the stakeholder or advertiser We are all about safety. Entities also get an icon on the map found in the app. Another safety precaution is the use of short-cut keywords by category that gather the information from every listing that is within the users range. For example sometimes it is hard to get the name from a real estate sign, in which case the app user may grab the same information by saying “Hey Property”. This will return any property items within range of the app user Saying “Hey Local” will return any of the local entities with range of the user. These could be local businesses but also nearby churches and schools. Saying “Hey Marker” will retrieve information from historic markers if listed in out directory. Government services, including zoning signs, public works signs, and items such as buildings and parks, will respond to “Hey Government”, up to a range of 2200 ft. Any of the items with a range based in miles will respond to “Hey Info” Cost The app is free to users. For advertisers, the basic service can be free for many categories Information and Privacy App users are anonymous and they will not receive pop-up ads in their emails or while browsing. Paid advertisers have on their dashboards the record of the time someone queried their sign. They are provided with no other information. Visit https://www.query-point.com to learn more.

The internet is supposed to be the sum of all human knowledge but it is inefficient at procedural "know-how" knowledge. Video and article rabbit holes often lead to confusion and more questions than answers. A more efficient approach to learning how to do anything is to speak with professionals through on-demand video calls instead of spending hours on YouTube or reading articles. The GUIDED App is a new way to learn how to do anything...with a little guidance. The GUIED App is a platform that seamlessly connects customers and professionals via video calls and intends to support all professionals. Customers select an industry, provide a description of the question or issue and submit their request for a video call with a professional. The video call request with the customer's description is immediately sent out to all of the professionals from the selected industry. In minutes, the customer is connected with a professional for a live video call so the customer can engage in dialogue with the professional, showing the professional the specific, unique situation that the customer would like to address. After the professional answers all the customer's questions, the customer now has all the information needed to complete the task, a second opinion, the answers to questions, or a solution. It is simple, quick, and effective. The cost of the call is based on 15-minute intervals and depends on the industry. For example, the rate to speak with a plumber may be $20 per 15 minutes. So a 15-minute call will cost $20 and a 30-minute call will cost $40. The 15-minute rate is clearly visible when selecting the industry and submitting a request. The 15-minute rates are intended to help customers save money from having a professional physically go to the customer's location while saving time from scouring the internet only to find a partial answer or solution. For professionals, The GUIDED App intends to be a convenient and significant source of income. The GUIDED App allows professionals to work when and where it is convenient. Simply change the status to "online" to begin receiving video call requests, and when no longer available to accept video call requests, change the status to "offline." It is easy, convenient, and empowering. The GUIDED App is dedicated to providing an intuitive and simple solution for both customers and professionals. For customers, The GUIDED App is committed to helping find answers and solutions quickly. And for professionals, The GUIDED App is focused on allowing experts to impart knowledge and skills, empowering customers to do things they would normally get discouraged about, resort to hiring someone else, or, worse, give up completely. The GUIDED App support team is standing by, ready to help customers and professionals through the signup process, answer questions, and resolve issues. Please contact us at support@theguidedapp.com. We truly believe that The GUIDED App can redefine human potential, and we are committed to providing an experience for both customers and professionals that lives up to that goal.
