Rayzit

An award-winning crowd messaging technology that delivers your questions, inquiries and ideas to the closest users around

How it works


Rayzit is an award-winning crowd messaging technology that delivers your questions, inquiries and ideas to the closest users around, regardless of how far these users are and who they are. We utilize a combination of state-of-the art computational techniques and crowdsourcing concepts to introduce one of the most compelling social interaction experiences available, as you will instantly see who is Rayzing around you and engage immediately!

  • Send “Rayz” messages (text, audio, video or image) to the crowd around you (typically a few hundred people that are closest to you). Other applications are either relying on a friend list (thus are not anonymous) or are relying on radius where no other users exist!

  • “Re-Rayz” a message you receive to spread the word about important things.

  • “Star” a message to follow a conversation wherever you go.

  • No sign-up required, no profiles, no personal data collection. Remain anonymous and retain your privacy while having fun interacting with people around you.
