after 400+ rides, i'm churning @Waymo, a product i genuinely loved. the service and quality have deteriorated at an astonishing rate over the past 6 months. despite repeatedly tagging them on X and submitting feedback, nothing has improved.
a few examples:
• my usual 14-min commute now consistently takes 20+ mins. waymo seems to invent a new, longer route every day
• repeatedly blocks my apartment's garage door and the parking garage entrance at work
• misses turns / gets confused at intersections, adding 10–15 mins to rides
• randomly drops me off 2-3 blocks from my actual destination
• i stepped out in the middle of traffic today to get out because it re-routed for the 3rd time

I wanted an accessible, persistent, and contextual AI on my Mac, so I built (and open sourced) it. Supports BYOK, voice transcription, screen awareness, computer use, and memory. Easy to invoke with a shortcut.
Supported features:
* BYOK + model selector
* Voice transcription
* Screen awareness
* Computer use
* Personal memory
* Keyboard shortcuts
I made a lil app (that mostly works) that tells you interesting stories and facts as you walk around in real-time (in voice!). alongtour.app/
+ multilingual support (20+)
+ play ambient music between spots
+ see nearby spots
+ elaborate on a fact & get more tidbits
+ change speakers
