In a recent announcement, Jelly co-founder Biz Stone has announced that the Q&A startup has been relaunched, with the Jelly site/app opened up to the public. The relaunch of Jelly - after a refresh and some under-the-hood enhancements - comes nearly four months after the startup announced its "un-pivot."

The Jelly Q&A site/app was first launched in 2014, as a result of the efforts of its co-founders Biz Stone -- who is also the co-founder of Twitter -- and Ben Finkel. However, initially the Q&A site - touted as a social-search engine that taps into people's knowledge - witnessed limited adoption.

The creation of the Jelly Q&A service is chiefly based on the simple idea that humans can do a much better job of answering questions as compared to a search engine. Jelly basically takes up day-to-day questions from its users and crowdsources the answers. The service can be used either anonymously or by creating an account.

In announcing the relaunch of Jelly site/app this week, Stone told VentureBeat that the latest version of Jelly has been developed in six months, and - in the last month - the service has been beta-tested with a few hundred people.

About the relaunched version of Jelly, Stone said: "It's a new kind of search engine. We're not competing with web search, but it's a new way to get answers to your questions."
