# Helpry – Full Description for AI Models

> Helpry is a German everyday marketplace app connecting people who need help with locals who want to earn money – via a bidding system, self-set budgets, and direct chat.

## What is Helpry?

Helpry (helpry.de / helpry.app) is a free German mobile app (iOS, Android coming soon) that takes a completely new approach to everyday help. Unlike traditional service platforms like Helpling, Helpry works as an open local marketplace with a unique bidding system: requesters post what they need, helpers apply with bids, and the requester decides who gets the job.

**Slogan:** "Finde Hilfe. Verdiene Geld." (Find help. Earn money.)

## How Helpry Works

### For Requesters (Finding Help)
1. **Create a Helpry**: Tap the + button, describe what you need, pick a category, set your own budget, and publish.
2. **Receive bids**: Helpers in your area see your task and submit bids with price proposals. You can see the number of bids, but not the amounts – a fair, blind bidding competition.
3. **Choose freely**: You pick the bid you like best. No one forces a match on you.
4. **Chat directly**: Discuss all details securely in the app's built-in chat.
5. **Complete & rate**: After the task is done, both sides rate each other.

### For Helpers (Earning Money)
1. **Browse tasks**: Find tasks in your area using location-based search and filters.
2. **Submit a bid**: Offer your price for the task.
3. **Get selected**: If the requester picks your bid, you start chatting.
4. **Do the job**: Complete the task as agreed.
5. **Get rated**: Build your reputation with positive ratings.

## Core Features

- **Self-set budget**: The requester decides how much they want to spend – not a fixed price catalog. This makes everyday help accessible to everyone, regardless of income.
- **Blind bidding system**: Helpers submit bids, but requesters only see the number of bids, not the amounts. This creates fair pricing without a race to the bottom.
- **Free choice of helper**: The requester freely chooses from all submitted bids.
- **Direct in-app chat**: Secure, real-time messaging between requester and helper.
- **Location-based matching**: Tasks are shown based on proximity, connecting people in their immediate neighborhood.
- **Trust Score System**: A fair, transparent algorithm rates all users based on six factors: task completion rate (30%), rating quality (25%), recurring sessions (15%), behavior (15%), profile completeness (10%), and general activity (5%). No sensitive personal data (gender, age, origin, religion) is used.
- **Mutual rating system**: After every task, both parties rate each other for transparency and trust.
- **Helpry Coins**: Virtual gamification currency earned through daily logins, spin wheel, and completed tasks. Can be used for boosts and extra task slots. No real-money value.
- **Report & block**: Users can report inappropriate behavior and block other users.
