How to Plan a Perfect City Day With CityCompanion

A friendly walkthrough — from opening the app to enjoying a daily morning briefing.

Step 1: Open CityCompanion

Visit city-echo-tour.pages.dev in any browser. No download needed — it's a PWA. On mobile, optionally add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.

Step 2: Pick your city

Choose from London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Barcelona, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, or Stuttgart. The app will detect your location automatically if you allow it, but you can also pick anywhere manually.

Step 3: Tell us about yourself

Quick one-screen-at-a-time onboarding: your name, how casual or formal you'd like to be addressed, what kinds of places you love (history, food, hidden gems, design, etc), and your walking pace.

Step 4: Choose your duration

Pick 3 hours, half-day, full-day, 2 days, or 5 days. The AI will generate a coherent route around districts that match your style — not random pin scatters.

Step 5: Start walking

Each stop has audio narration in your chosen language. The app guides you between stops with walking directions or transit suggestions for longer legs (>1.5km).

Step 6: Save and rate

Heart your favourites, take photos, and rate stops you loved or didn't. The app learns and improves your future tours.

Step 7: Enable the daily briefing (optional)

In Settings, turn on Daily Morning Briefing. Pick a time. Each morning you'll get a 1–5 minute personalised audio with weather, today's plan, and a local food story. Like a friendly local concierge.

You're ready to walk

CityCompanion adapts to whatever pace you actually walk at, the weather you encounter, and the time of day. There's no "one right route" — there's the route that fits your day, today.
