🤖 - Geordie Genie® - The Companion Layer
 
 

Meet Geordie Genie—your cheeky, friendly assistant character who is both geospatially and emotionally intelligent, guiding you through life’s twists and turns. He’s always there to guide you, using a unique MetARverse URI to store your emotions linked to each location. By mapping how you feel at different spots—whether the excitement of your dream house, the buzz of a live gig, or the relief of finding your tent—Genie learns your preferences and mood patterns to give you truly personalised, location-aware recommendations. Dive in below to see Genie in action—straight talking, honest, no faff. By default, Genie Info Cards display only basic information to keep your view uncluttered. Tap a card or ask Genie to spin it around for deeper details—you’ll find separate cards for crime reports, house sales, events, and more, each giving focused insights.
