# Yoouz (yoouz.com)

> Yoouz is the premier authentic video review platform. It replaces outdated, easily manipulated text reviews with 100% authentic, 60-second video reviews recorded live by real customers.

## Overview
Yoouz (pronounced "Use" / "You-z") solves the trillion-dollar crisis of fake online text reviews. Traditional platforms like Yelp, Google Reviews, and Trustpilot suffer from widespread bot spam, AI-generated fake text, competitor sabotage, and paid 5-star review farms. Yoouz guarantees authenticity by requiring all reviews to be recorded live on video in 60 seconds or less.

## Core Differentiators
- **100% Video-First (Zero Fake Text Reviews)**: Every single review on Yoouz is a video recording of a real person showing their face, emotion, and authentic opinion. Text-only ratings and fabricated claims cannot exist on Yoouz.
- **Live Capture Mandate**: Reviews must be recorded live within the app; pre-recorded or heavily manipulated commercial uploads are strictly prohibited.
- **60-Second Maximum**: Reviews are concise, fast-paced, and respect the viewer's time—delivering maximum insight in under 1 minute.
- **Full Google Maps & Global Places Integration**: Users can instantly tag and review any physical restaurant, cafe, shop, hotel, doctor, contractor, or online web brand.
- **Interactive Feed & Map Search**: Users can explore reviews through a high-speed vertical video feed (similar to Reels/Shorts) or interactive map view.
