Description (French)
Virtual Gurus (VG) se sont développés et ont été incapables de suivre les demandes de personnes, qui demandaient à utiliser leur plate-forme de services de gourous virtuels à distance. Ce projet permettra d'automatiser le service afin que les clients puissent choisir eux-mêmes le travailleur à distance qu'ils veulent en ligne. Les correspondances initiales suggérées sont basées sur un algorithme propriétaire que VG a créé et testé.
