On-Demand: Help People Right Now
Flip a switch and you're open for business — clients can start a video session with you instantly, no appointment needed. The first platform to bring instant sessions to professional consulting.
What Is On-Demand?
On-demand removes the calendar entirely. When you switch your availability on, you show up as available now to clients browsing the platform. A client taps your service, their card is authorized, and you're connected on a video call in minutes.
Think of all the moments people need an expert right now — not tomorrow at 2pm. That's what on-demand captures. It's your knowledge, monetized in real time.
What People Use It For
Real situations where waiting isn't an option
Tech Help Right Now
Software won't cooperate, a setting is buried, an error won't clear. When a help article or a search comes up empty, a live expert fixes it in minutes.
Quick Expert Answers
"Is this contract clause a problem?" "Why is this formula broken?" "Is this quote fair?" Questions too specific for a video tutorial — perfect for a 30-minute call.
Instant Tutoring
A student stuck before tomorrow's exam, a professional preparing for tonight's presentation — on-demand fills the gap between "I need help" and "my next appointment."
Monetize Your Downtime
Between meetings? Evening free? Switch on and turn spare minutes into paid sessions — then switch off when you're done.
How It Works
You Switch On
Set your Online Status to available and list an on-demand service. You now appear as available to clients right now.
A Client Taps In
They pick your service, enter their card, and the amount is authorized. You get an instant alert — you have 5 minutes to accept.
You Accept & Join
Accept the session and the video call opens. Miss the window and the request expires — the client is never charged.
Session Runs & Pays
The call runs on your service pricing — including time-based billing that meters extra minutes automatically. Payment captures after the call.
Staying Available (and Going Away)
5 Minutes to Accept
When a client requests you, the clock starts. Accept within 5 minutes or the request expires and the client's card hold is released.
Auto-Away Protection
If you're inactive for about 20 minutes, the platform switches you to away automatically — so clients never wait on someone who stepped out.
Join or It's Free
Both sides get a short window to join once the session is accepted. If a party never shows, the session expires and the client isn't charged.
Common Questions
How do I turn on-demand availability on?
Set your Online Status to available in the app and make sure you have an on-demand service listed on your profile. Switch it off anytime — you're never locked in.
What happens if I miss the 5-minute window?
The request expires, the client's card hold is released, and they're free to try another consultant. It doesn't count as a cancellation and nobody is charged.
Can I use on-demand with my other services?
Yes — many consultants run scheduled sessions for regulars and switch on-demand on during open hours. They work side by side.
What should clients do if nobody answers?
On-demand depends on consultants being online. If your request expires, try another available expert or book a scheduled session instead.
