Abstract
Methods and systems for seeking answers are disclosed. The method includes receiving a question from a seeker device. The method includes determining responder(s) for answering the question, by identifying available responders and determining matching responders based on at least a threshold degree of similarity in a corresponding responder profile with the question. The method includes facilitating a display of responder profile(s) associated with the responder(s) to the seeker device in a predetermined order. The method includes upon receiving a first selection of a single responder profile, establishing a first communication channel between the seeker device and a responder device for providing an answer. The method includes upon receiving a second selection of multiple responder profiles, transmitting the question to responder devices. Upon receipt of interest-to-answer input from at least one responder profile, a second communication channel is established between the seeker device and at least one responder device.
