Intent
Start with what the person is trying to do
A search like quiet cafe to work from carries social context. The app should preserve that context instead of flattening everything into nearby places.
Intent-aware local discovery
Find places that make the next hang easier.
Baiizy is a prototype for local discovery that optimizes for follow-through. It uses place intent to suggest where to meet, who to invite, and how to make the plan repeatable.
Place
Rank for usefulness, not just distance
The best place is the one that supports the plan: talkability, noise, price, seating, exit ease, and whether it can become a routine.
People
Make the next ask small
The people layer should help someone invite one or two compatible people into a low-pressure table, not push everyone into another event feed.
Repeat
Turn one hang into a social loop
A recurring lunch, walk, work sprint, or shelf browse is the durable product outcome. Discovery is only the start.
