   Product Reveal

   A1Zap Platform Mechanics & Distribution

   “What's special about A1Zap is that when you make something, it doesn't just sit there. It gets distributed straight into your social graph: your friends, your class, your club, your campus, your community. You have a scrollable feed of instant social experiences and tools built by people in your community or campus. And if you find something that you want to share on that feed, you can use our integrated messaging platform to directly message your friends or anyone else on campus. Want to create your own social experience and chatbot? Well, you can use one of our premade templates that lets you throw something up in minutes, and then you can prompt to customize that straight to your own community or your friend group.”
