Within the app, when you create a report, people within that vicinity, a 1km or 5km radius, they all get real-time alerts.
TechCabal walks through how a report becomes an alert. Someone files an incident with photos, video and a description, and everyone inside the radius is notified straight away. The piece covers the consensus algorithm that lets users dispute a report and rate its severity, the filters that run from one kilometre out to the whole country, and Wahala AI, which pulls incidents from reputable news sources onto the same map.
