Puhaar app's mission is to make the world a better place to live. Our solution allows users to create awareness campaigns starting by creating a post. This post consists of a Tile, Description along with a video or picture. Our algorithms, using the contents of title, description, media and location we list the user a handful of entities or businesses that should be responsible for fixing the issue. Once the user chooses the correct entity, our logic will grab all available social media handles such as X (formally Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Linkedin etc   associated with that entity or business. Once the user clicks submit post, based on the handles of the we were able gather, we create the exact same post that the user authored, to each of the social media platform while tagging the handle of the entity/business as appropriate. The goal of this is to amplify the issue while holding the entity/biz responsible for fixing it accountable. Our goal is to help create an awareness program of any issues, no matter high big or small it is, in a minute or less. Author and other users can share, like, comment on the post. We monitor every post and automatically follow up with the entity, by posting reminders along with #Puhaared. Wehn the entity fixes the issue they simply need to add a reply with #PuhaarDone. At which point we will notify the author as well as anyone who liked or shared the post to also be informed of the fix. You just spend a minute or less creating the awareness campaign and we do the rest. To create an account on our platform is the user's mobile number and a unique handle that the user chooses at signup. Since we are a platform of user generated content, we moderate based on two criteria 1) If any post has a report abuse count of 50 in a rolling 60min period, that post is automatically suspended, and moderators are notified. This post will no longer show up in the feed pending moderation2) If a post exceeds lifetime 'report abuse' count of a thousand or more, same process as above is undertaken. The numbers are highly configurable so based on the adoption we intend to tweak them and also add more AI based automatic moderation. As a result of moderation, if the moderated post is deemed abusive (we have the final say on this decision) the user, based opn the egregiousness of the abusive post is either suspended for a period of time aopr the mobile is banned forever. Awareness campaigns on the platform has two statuses, Open and Closed. When the campaign is created it is in Open status. It goes to Closed status when either the author of the post says the issue has been solved, or when the company/entity responds with a closed status. Per Apple guidelines this build also allows a user to block one of more other users so their posts don't appear on the feed.
