The problem it solves

You get dressed and head out the door without knowing if it's about to rain or if your usual route is jammed up. By the time you find out, you're already stuck without an umbrella or stuck in traffic.

Who it fits

Anyone with a regular commute who wants a heads-up before bad weather or traffic hits.

How it works

  1. Every morning at a set time, the system checks the day's forecast
  2. It also checks the current status of your specific commute route
  3. If the forecast mentions rain or the route shows a delay, it puts together a short alert
  4. The alert is sent to you as a message so you can plan ahead before leaving
What you get

Heads-up before rain hits your commute

You get a heads-up each morning if rain or delays are expected on your regular commute route.

What you get

A short message warning you about rain or transit delays before you leave for work.

What you need

An OpenWeatherMap API key, a Google Maps Platform account, and a messaging account such as LINE.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
