Hello, Chair develops Appsaurus, a mobile app recommendation engine delivered via an iPhone app that learns user preferences by having users rank rounds of apps. The app now recommends iPad apps as well and adds a Lists feature for organizing apps. A new Cloud Sync feature (via an Appsaurus Sync desktop app) lets users import installed apps for immediately relevant recommendations. Appsaurus competes with Apple’s Genius by building a profile based on a user’s entire app library rather than single matches. The company traces its product lineage to Appalanche (2008) and an earlier ad‑voting engine called Adpinion. Financially, the startup has raised external funding, most recently an $850,000 round reported in the article.
