Item Description
Research Assistant is for people seeking assistance on complex questions or problems. Imagine having a super smart Research Assistant in your pocket, wherever you go.

Simply speak your request to your phone (or type it), with as much detail as you want (more the better).  Research Assistant instantly puts together a team of skilled researchers who deliver fast, quality-vetted results to your email.

You can ask absolutely anything you want, using your natural language, on any topic, from business to travel to career.  Anything at all.  You can even attach a photo (e.g. "Can you provide me more information about this style of house?").

IMPORTANT: Camera feature only works on OS versions 4.6 and higher.

IMPORTANT: If you face connectivity issue, please see the easy fix at http://www.askagent.com/answerpod/company/bbfix.cfm

Some real examples:

- The CEO of a cosmetics company wanted to know the best sustainable business practices for a consumer packaged goods company (such as Colgate, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gambel, Sunsilk, etc)

- The representative of a central bank in Africa wanted to know how countries around the world regulate pyramid schemes.

- A traveller wanted a 5-6 day itinerary for himself, his wife and four-year-old daughter in Los Angeles.

- An Internet entrepreneur wanted to know about consumer data protection laws in Europe.

Research Assistant saves time, money, and most exciting of all -- you no longer need a computer and Internet connection to access all the knowledge of the web.  

All questions are processed anonymously and confidentially.

Research Assistant comes pre-loaded with 8 query credits, ensuring 10-20 researchers will work on your question or problem.  

We also offer a free version of Research Assistant called "Ask Anything."  Ask Anything comes with 0 query credits and does not guarantee response time or quality.

waste of money won't work or connect to the internet. And no help fixing the problem

serious initial interface issues
January 28, 2010
In order to select the correct email account, I had to enable device compatibility as it is not a selectable field otherwise. 
The second issue is that it will not activate unless you are using wifi access. It comes up with a message stating no network access and there is nowhere to change the network type before activation. 
This app should have went through more testing.
