A considerable part of our base does not come back after the first two weeks. However, we are noticing an increase of the segment that comes back more than twice a week. They seem to use Jam as a way to get rid of tasks that demand little reflexion/benchmarking (eg. "What's the best oven for <150€", "Where can I eat brunch right now at République ?"). Our ideal user should ask 3 things per week.

About the travel assistant feature, it is indeed a feature that many could use. I have personally discovered this use-case and found it truly powerful.

This week, we have put a lot of effort into making the experience around bars as delightful as possible (put some interpolations and randomness in our wordings, put a few jokes in there, etc...).

About the business model : So far, we have tried to help companies hire talent using Jam. We signed 3 contracts in one month (25k€) but abandoned the idea eventually because we felt the product was not ready for that. Right now, we are interested in helping brands grow in the student market. Say Uber is looking for ambassadors, we can find them rapidly as our user-base is cash-poor and time-rich and there is already a high demand for student jobs. Here's a repartition of our requests received in the last 7 days (878 "student jobs") : https://infinit.io/_/BHZzvHE
