 Why you would need a shopping assistant
like Kurdle…
• It can take care of the hassle of shopping for you.
• It finds the best deals (deals you really couldn’t
find by yourself).
• It saves a lot of time.
• It streamlines the process of shopping for you by
integrating services like shopping lists, paypal,
google maps, bing cashback, rebates and pay by
sms (texting) services.
• It keeps all of your shopping information in one
place.
 How to use it…
• Users sign up on the website or download the
mobile application (iphone, android and blackberry).
• Users customize their Kurdle (or profile) to match
their shopping preferences, location and personality.
• Users search for products that they want and Kurdle
will find it at the best price (online and offline) and
start buying, or they add products to the interactive
shopping list and Kurdle will find them and sync the
information wirelessly.
• Users can gain points and advance ranks to possibly
earn prizes or unlock new features like text alerts by
buying products or sharing deals.
 How it works
• It will be geo-location aware and semantics based
• It will be compromised of many atom feeds that
will let it find the best deals online and offline using
semantics
• Services like PayPal, Google maps, bing cash back,
coupons, rebates and pay by sms (texting) services
will be tightly integrated.
• Website will be made with rails, mobile app will be
made with appcelerator titanium platform.
 How it works continued
• There will be a interactive shopping list that will
sync desktop to mobile with sms updates
• Their will be a counter telling how much money is
saved through Kurdle (individual and entire user
base).
• Products will have reviews pulled from various
data sources
• Local services like restaurants will have data feeds
pulled in from services like yelp.
• All information will be protected with high security
2048 bit SSL certificates and encryption
 Revenue Model
• There will possible be affiliate commissions for
some items bought through Kurdle
• There will be a premium membership option,
probably a very low fee ($0.99) every month.
• Custom advertising platform

 What I could use the money for
• Approximately 30%of the money will go to
web development and application hosting
(cloud hosting preferably)
• 40% of the money will go to improving the
semantic technology, real-time sms updates,
and possible features like voice recognition
(powered by nuance) and making the
technology open source.
• The rest of the money will go to marketing and
legal fees, as marketing is quite expensive
nowadays
