Problem
Consumers often need to obtain everyday items, tickets, rides, or other real‑world services quickly, but must open multiple apps, wait in lines, or create accounts, which adds friction and delays fulfillment.
Solution
Asaply provides a text‑based AI assistant that operates through a simple phone number. Users send a plain‑language SMS describing what they need, and the service automatically searches nearby providers, confirms availability, and completes the purchase. Orders are prepared for immediate pickup or delivered as digital tickets and passes, which are stored in the user’s Apple Wallet. Payments are finalized with a single tap via Apple Pay, keeping card details private. The platform also supports group orders, automatically splitting costs and handling payments for each participant.
Target Audience
Primary users are busy consumers who prefer quick, app‑free ordering for food, transportation, and event tickets, as well as merchants seeking a streamlined channel for receiving orders via text.
