Jelly was a Q&A platform app which was created by Jelly Industries, a search-engine company founded and led by Biz Stone, one of Twitter's co-founders.[1] In March 2017, Jelly was acquired by Pinterest for an undisclosed amount.[2]

Jelly differentiated itself from other Q&A platforms such as Quora and ChaCha by relying on visual imagery to steer people to getting better answers from within and outside their social networks. In particular, it encouraged people to use photos to ask questions.[3][4]
