San Francisco, out loud

Put your phone away. The city tells you the rest.

Rivera is a voice guide that walks with you. It knows where you are and which way you're facing, and it speaks up when something is worth a look: a Gold Rush saloon on your left, oysters a block ahead.

Listening

How it works

A tour guide that's already where you are.

Say what you're into

History, a good bite, a view. Change your mind out loud whenever you like, and the guide follows.

Put the phone away

Rivera keeps track of where you are and which way you're facing. No screen, no tapping, no map to read.

It speaks up

When you pass something worth it, it tells you where to look: on your right, just ahead, up the hill.

Under the hood

Your location goes in. A conversation comes out.

Your phone

Live location and heading, every few seconds, in the background.

Google Places

What's around you that fits your interests, with summaries and opening hours.

The voice guide

ElevenLabs or OpenAI Realtime, on a live call that never stops to ask where you are.

Updates arrive as background context, so the guide never interrupts itself to read them. It only talks when you do, or when something is right there.

Go for a walk.
