Hi!
I am Flo, I'm 19, and I am the founder of Huuno.
Huuno is a visual Q&A App that is born out of the problem that image recognition technology isn't good enough, and there aren't many services available that can accurately identify objects within images.
Huuno relies on the power of the human brain. Instead of directing visual queries to AI, we direct them to other human beings who can answer your questions for you. (What tree is this? What rims are on this car? Is this snake male or female?)
I am aware of the other services out there that offer a similar service (Jelly, Aardvark). So to differentiate ourselves, we are taking a Quora-esque approach to building a community of subject experts who answer your questions. To prevent Huuno from turning into a yahoo answers style wasteland, we are going to invite subject experts to compete for rank as they answer questions, as well as challenging ordinary users to test their knowledge in their chosen subject.
For example, Barry (fictional) - Chairmain of the London British Classics association may spend his spare time answering question on classic Jags, Bentleys, Astons and Roll's Royce's, providing high quality answers to the community while competing against Norman (fictional) - a collector of British Classics - for the top spot in that specific community.
Just a little bit of background, I raised money on Kickstarter to build a little prototype of this app which can be found on www.huuno.org . This allowed me to find a team of 4 guys here in London and the app is now in development!
Let the roasting begin. I am ready
