“Let’s go somewhere.”
If you know me, you’ve heard this a thousand times. And every time, my friends hit me with: “Where?” Instant brain blank.
Not because I don’t know places - I know too many.
They’re just buried in 200 saved reels I’m never reopening. Same as you.
Then in March 2024, I said, “Let’s go to Japan.” We saved reels nonstop, shared Reddit posts, YT vlogs, even TikToks, built a massive inspo dump… and used none of it.
Everything stayed on our phones instead of in the real world. That’s when Porwal and I asked: Why does discovering places feel easy, but using our inspiration feel impossible?
Everyone we spoke to felt the same.
So we built glide - born from frustration, friendship, and one messy Japan trip.
An AI for how people actually go out. And honestly?
glide is the new way to explore a city.
