Martin, congratulations on the lauch! 🎊 Really helpful solution for all travellers - is the bot able to track information in real time? For example, some place is already closed for today or doesn't work all day for technical issues. Does Local Friend monitor this and take into account or gives only recommendations in general without reference to such circumstances?

@anna_sv Local Friend is aware of the current date and time, however it's currently fixed set to "CET" time zone. Automatically adapting to the user time zone is on the roadmap and should be available within a month.

Tried it and it indeed pointed me to the best curry in Singapore! It also gave me the square root of 5, and wrote an onboarding email for our product. Just an FYI if this is a use case you don't want people to access it for.

@joshua_de_la_llana Correct. We're working on training to bot to not break out of it context. Great that it helped you find the best curry, though 🍛 😅

@martin_van_dijk looking forward to seeing this progress @martin_van_dijk! I travel often and one of the biggest pain points is using 5 different apps just to move around.

I like that it's available on Messenger. Are you going to make it accessible from Whatsapp too?

@kkavita Yes. We start now on Messenger only, but we're planning to bring Local Friend towards other platforms as well. WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram at least.
