What it does

Our app leverages the advanced capabilities of the Gemini API to categorize user-shared posts, a complex task beyond human capability and rendered ineffective if left to user discretion. This sophisticated categorization process identifies potential interest groups based on geographical location, ensuring that each post reaches the most relevant audience. While our app shares structural similarities with traditional social networks, its core mission is distinct: to promote real-world interactions over digital ones. To achieve this, the app intentionally limits in-app communication to encourage users to engage face-to-face.

Additionally, our app is designed to foster both new and existing relationships. The friend feed feature, which is geographically constrained, selectively showcases posts from individuals whom users have chosen to keep in close contact with. This helps maintain strong, personal connections regardless of physical distances.

A key feature of our app is its ability to reconnect users with friends who have geographically drifted apart. It does this by highlighting exceptional proximity alerts, notifying users when a long-lost friend is unexpectedly nearby.

This local focus encourages users to engage more with their immediate environment, potentially leading to increased support for local businesses and economies, thereby reinforcing the ecological benefits of consuming locally and sustaining community-based initiatives.
