| I’ve been building something a bit unusual. I’ve always liked the idea of talking to strangers in places like cafés, bars, airports - just to hear their stories. But in reality, people are busy, guarded, or just not in the mood. So I started wondering:
what if you could walk into a place and talk to an AI character instead? I built a map-based experience where you can open a city, step into real cafés and bars, and meet AI characters there to talk to. It’s somewhere between Foursquare and Character AI. Some example characters - A staff engineer rewriting the same system for the third time,
late-night café in San Francisco - A founder who just shut down their startup after 4 years,
alone at a bar in New York - A 19-year-old open-source dev,
coding in a dim café in Berlin - A crypto trader who made and lost a fortune twice,
at a bar in Dubai - A strip club dancer saving up to leave,
between shifts in Las Vegas Some of the conversations are surprisingly engaging. Current state: 5 cities, 100+ characters I’m mainly testing: does this feel interesting enough to explore? Would love to know what you felt when you tried it. |
