Find the best meeting place for your group

Midway helps groups of friends find the best place to meet. Enter everyone's locations, tell our AI your vibe, and Midway calculates the fairest & most efficient midpoint, then shows real venues related to your interests nearby with driving distances, ratings, and directions. You can then share these options with your friends directly on Midway.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m excited to finally share Midway with you all.
The idea for this started out of a very specific frustration. We’ve all been in that group chat where someone says, "Let’s meet at that place in X neighborhood," and while one person can walk there in five minutes, someone else is looking at a 45-minute drive across the city. As the person who usually ends up being the on the wrong end of this exchange, I knew there had to be a fairer way to meet up.
What is Midway?
Midway is a web app designed to find the "geographic sweet spot" for your group. You plug in everyone’s starting points, tell our AI the vibe your group wants, and we do the heavy lifting to find the perfect venue that’s actually fair for everyone.
The "Secret Sauce"
We didn't just want to find the middle of a map; we wanted to find the right spot.
Fair Mode vs. Eco Mode: You can choose to minimize the maximum travel distance (so no one gets screwed) or minimize the total group travel distance (to save on fuel/carbon).
AI Vibe Check: Instead of just "Pizza," you can type *"cozy outdoor seating with great fries"* and our AI pipeline (Gemini/GPT-4o/Claude) re-ranks real Google venues based on actual reviews.
Real-Time Collaboration: You can generate a link, send it to the group, and watch as everyone’s locations pop up on the map live! No more copy-pasting addresses from WhatsApp.
The Business Side
Midway is built on a Freemium model.
Free: Groups of up to 4, top 5 results, and all the core AI features.
Pro (₹99/mo or ₹999/yr): For the bigger squads (up to 12 people), 10 results, and better AI models. Cancel at anytime. I would have loved to make this a fully free product but unfortunately Google Maps API calls are really expensive!
We’re live at mway.vercel.app. I’d love for you to give it a spin next time you’re planning a dinner or a hangout. I’ll be here all day to answer questions, take feedback, or hear your horror stories about the most "unfair" meetup you’ve ever had to attend!
