Show HN: I built a fun AI tour guide into Google Street View

Hacker News - Wed, 04/30/2025 - 2:51pm

I love culture + travel, and one of my favorite pastimes is dropping into random streets on Google Street View. I just LOVE getting a tiny snippet into how people live, the architecture, and discovering hidden corners of places I'll probably never visit. I'm kinda weird like that.

When AI came along, I started asking it to explain what I was looking at - and I learned a ton. I couldn't stop using this combo.

So I built Streetwhip. It's kinda like reverse Geoguessr - instead of guessing where you are, you get educated about places as if you had a smart local guide with you.

What used to be just "some random street in Buenos Aires" becomes a rich learning adventure about Argentine architecture, why things look the way you are, and stuff about the history and way of life.

I've been having so much fun with it. I LOVE when I'm on an ordinary looking street and suddenly I find out there's a WILD historic story behind why the architecture is a certain way.

A couple of tips: - make sure you log in! If you don't, things aren't really real-time (I had to do this because Street View's API costs can get expensive and this is just a fun hobby project for me). - play around with the categories - they're fun. I'm curating in more places over time. - the search is not perfect - when it works its magical (totally llm-driven). But sometimes it isn't. - don't use this on mobile, it kinda sucks

Would love to get your thoughts on the concept and what you could see it turn into! :)

P.S. Oh and one of my favorite features: radio! You get a live radio from a stream in the country (please mute it if you get annoyed - but I promise you it makes things a whole lot more immersive)

Show HN: Jarvis-AI, an AI Agents network that kills admin work in big corporate

Hacker News - Wed, 04/30/2025 - 2:49pm

Cheers HN,

We're Oli and Pascal, two friends from ETH Zürich. We built a network of AI Agents for large organisations, that finally gets rid of all admin work for employees. Current features are:

- Schedule, move or cancel meetings (via Google Calendar or locally)

- Dynamically adapt meetings according to stakeholders’ availabilities (internal communication of the agents)

- Summarize incoming mails (via Gmail)

- Create a project plan (command: plan XXX = [project description]) including stakeholders, timeline and cost estimate

- Plan, assign and view tasks

- Do all of the above via audio

We believe that the network point is the core of the product. If you're planning a new project, Jarvis should not only give ideas but also propose whom to work with based on the context information of all the other Jarvises in the company. Instead of sending mails, information flow happens between the Agents and the audio feature makes it super natural to speak to your Jarvis.

This is very early stage, so any advice/feedback is much appreciated :)
