SECOND OPINION

I prototyped a free, five-minute style call for verified women to get a second opinion from a volunteer.

Keep the call small

Sometimes the decision is as small as whether an outfit works or which item to buy. I wanted to see if that kind of question could fit into a free five-minute call with another woman. I defined the product and directed a Cursor cloud coding agent to prototype it.

The call can extend to ten minutes if both people agree. Matching can be random or based on taste, occasion and budget. I designed it with one-way video and two-way audio so the caller can show what they’re deciding on and the volunteer can talk them through it. The proposed calls are unrecorded.

Work out who can join before opening the door

I included verification for women, invite codes, under-18 restrictions and report-and-block workflows in the prototype. The Expo and React Native prototype uses Hono, Supabase and LiveKit. The code covers language and availability matching, timers and ratings. I looked at competitors, studied Be My Eyes and reviewed public signals for and against the idea across 12 discovery workstreams.

That research shaped the prototype, but I have not yet conducted customer interviews or tested it with real users. It is not publicly launched. The 4 November 2026 snapshot had beta-readiness features in code, with no verified phone build. Before opening it up, I need to test both sides of the idea: whether callers find the advice useful and whether volunteers want to keep giving it.

How the prototype bounds an advice call

Ask for a second opinion
The prototype uses a verified-women gate before matching.
Match with a volunteer
Proposed options include random matching or matching by occasion, budget and taste.
Talk for five minutes
The call uses one-way video and two-way audio.
Extend by mutual agreement
The call can continue to ten minutes if both participants agree.

Worked explanationFollow the five-minute boundary

Input: A caller and a volunteer reach the end of the proposed five-minute style call.
Decision / rule: Check whether both participants agree to extend.
Outcome: Mutual agreement allows the call to continue to ten minutes. Without it, the five-minute boundary remains.

Scope of this examplePrivate prototype logic. No call is placed here; real-user validation and verified phone builds remain open.

This flow describes the private prototype.

What I’d do next.

Conduct customer interviews and test the volunteer model with intended participants.
Produce and validate phone builds before treating code readiness as a usable beta.
