Crafty : The First Self-Employment Platform Powered by Blockchain and AI

in #ico7 years ago
If you're looking to hire a photographer all you need to do is to head over Instagram or Facebook, check out their work and voila, but if you're looking to get your house's wiring fixed or get it into tip-top shape the problem then arises. It's already a struggle to look for a service provider for the problem you have at hand and it's another thing entirely to get a decent quality service from a reputable source. Instagram and Facebook has been serving as a digital portfolio for creatives and content creators alike but what about freelancers who are service oriented?

Crafty: A platform for self-employed service provider
The whole premise here is that Crafty offers freelance or self-employed people, a chance to build and develop their online portfolio without using expensive advertisements and intermediary agencies. They can achieve this by doing great services, performing professionally and earning stellar reviews from satisfied customers. So by building reputation with Crafty's help, looking for quality service has never been easier.



How does it work?
Okay let's go about this in detail, let's say that I want to do a repainting of my house but trying to google "house painter" hoping for a decent and reputable painter might take too much time or might just be too much to ask for.  Here is where I use Crafty. I log into Crafty's platform, look for house painting professionals and check their reputation and previous works to help me decide which ones to hire. I can choose to pay them with fiat, credit cards, or through the platform and use CFTY tokens which is Crafty's own coin. When the job is done, I will evaluate their performance and leave them an honest review, in the same light, the painters will leave an honest review of me as well as a customer and in doing so both parties will receive CFTY tokens for their interaction. 

"Build a business with what really matters - Reputation!"

This revolves around the whole idea of reputation that Crafty aims to provide each and every user of its platform. This makes the playing field equal and purely performance based. Enabling two-way evaluation also allows abusive customers to be punished for their actions and poorly performing service providers to have a harder time getting hired. Building reputation might take time, or no time at all if you're that good, nevertheless this will assure quality. Seeing high reputation on professionals might be the biggest green light that can get them hired.

The AI
If you've heard of the Shed at Dulwich, the top rated fake or non-existent restaurant in London, then you've heard of fake reviews heavily manipulating marketability. Crafty is assisted by a powerful AI designed to combat these fake reviews and market manipulation ensuring that quality is not compromised. The AI also optimizes customer to business interactions by matching its users with reputable service providers that suit them best. It can also advertise relevant and related services for the request that you made, it can tell you where to buy the cheapest and highest quality paint that your hired painter can use.

Why does it work?
Crafty solves a very crucial problem when it comes to the service sector, which is inefficiency in terms of both time and resource. Crafty will save you a ton of time and not to mention a ton of money as well. By using crafty you are eliminating middlemen, intermediary fees, and other unnecessary obstacles that usually inflate costs and increase the price to pay for a service. For professionals, Crafty removes the need for costly advertising fees and recruitment agencies which gives you more headroom for profit. This enables customers to pay less while allowing professionals to earn more all without the time sink of booking from an agency.

If somehow you're still doubtful about all this, this one should take it home. Crafty has already been running and working with great results in their older platform called Diaríssima which has 2 years of market experience and data in Brazil to be used to improve Crafty and expand its horizons from 160 cities to the world!
