How WhatNow? Works

Tell us what happened
Describe your situation in simple natural language (e.g. "I lost my passport in Singapore") or select from 52 emergency scenarios.
Identify the situation
WhatNow? matches exact emergency protocols and candidate scenarios without forcing broad guesswork.
Get prioritized next steps
Follow clear, staged response timelines: DO THIS NOW, Next 30 Minutes, Next 24 Hours, and Next 7 Days.
Use location context when relevant
Select your current country and home country. International travel context automatically prioritizes embassy and consular Desk guidance.
Check verified official sources
Every critical step links directly to verified official authorities (CEIR, State Dept, RBI, Bank portals).
Prepare what you need
Use printable Emergency Kits and factual statement generator templates to organize police and bank declarations.
Add statutory deadlines to Google Calendar
One-click "+ Add to Google Calendar" pre-populates official deadlines and timeframes with zero account registration.
The Role of AI in WhatNow?
AI serves as an empathetic interpreter, intent classifier, and conversational personalization layer. It helps understand what you are describing in plain language and guides you through existing WhatNow knowledge.
AI does NOT independently invent official emergency procedures, government links, helpline numbers, deadlines, fees, or legal requirements. All official data is grounded strictly in WhatNow's structured emergency dataset and verified source registry.
