CityChat
A city guide you talk to. Ask what's worth seeing tonight, point your camera at a building and get its story, wander with a map that knows the neighborhood.
Guidebooks don't answer questions. Cities should.
CityChat is a native mobile app for exploring a city through conversation. Instead of scrolling lists and reviews, you ask — and an AI guide grounded in a carefully curated local dataset answers, with places it can actually stand behind.
See a building you can't name? Point the camera at it and CityChat figures out what you're looking at and tells you the story. Everything is built on open data — no scraping walled gardens — and the dataset is curated city by city.
Chat
Conversational discovery — food, culture, history, plans for tonight.
Camera
Visual search: frame a landmark, get an answer about the place in front of you.
Discover & Map
Curated picks by mood and category, on a map built for wandering.
A first look
Concept designs — the shipping app evolves from here.
In development. iOS first.
The full stack is mine: native mobile apps, a Go backend with geospatial and vector search, LLM-powered chat, and the data tooling that keeps the city knowledge fresh. It launches city by city — starting close to home.
More when it ships. The interesting parts stay off the internet until then.
