Cities & People

Ten cities.
Two reasons
to listen.

ROAM is built for two people who have nothing in common except curiosity: the tourist who has three days, and the local who has walked past the same building for three years. ROAM works for both, for exactly the same reason.

Who ROAM is for
01 · The Visiting Tourist

You came to see this city.
You haven't seen half of it.

"Tell me something interesting about what I'm looking at — without making me work for it."

Who Traveller in an unfamiliar city, 25–55, comfortable with apps, not necessarily tech-forward
Context Walking a neighbourhood without a fixed itinerary; may have done planned activities already today
Problem Rick Steves requires headphones in before you leave the hotel. Google Maps gives addresses, not stories.
"The city explains itself as you walk. No prep, no route, no reading."
02 · The Curious Local

You've lived here three years.
You know nothing.

"I walk past this building every day. I want to finally know what it actually is."

Who Resident who has lived in the city 2+ years, knows the landmarks, has stopped noticing them
Context Weekend walk, commute variation, showing a visitor around, running errands in a familiar area
Problem Tourist brochures feel condescending. Wikipedia requires intention. Podcasts are not location-aware.
"Your city has stories you've never heard. ROAM finds them when you're standing in front of them."

Coming in future updates

City expansion is ongoing. Each new city is a press moment — and a reason to walk.

The shared moment

A tourist in Rome and a Roman in a neighbourhood they've never explored.

At runtime, ROAM doesn't know the difference. A tourist walking through a neighbourhood they've never seen and a local exploring a street they've avoided for a decade have identical GPS signatures and identical information needs at the moment of dwell.

The narration engine generates fresh for both. The music scores both walks. The city narrates itself for anyone who stops long enough to listen.
