Ready to simplify your spontaneous adventures?

You can access the app at: https://hangout.itdogtics.com/

For the best experience, we recommend adding the app to your home screen. It's super easy, just follow this quick tutorial here.


How to Use the App:

1. First-Time Setup (Gemini API)

To get started, you'll need to set up Gemini. Head over here to get an API key and select a model. We recommend the Flash Model for optimal performance, but other options are available if you prefer.

2. Your Hangout Home Screen

Once Gemini is set up, you'll see the main screen, which has everything you need to start generating your first hangout:

  • Current Location: If you allow location tracking, this will automatically fill in for you.
  • Number of People: Let us know how many people are joining your hangout.
  • From To: Set the time frame you're looking for hangout ideas.

Want more control? Click on "Show Advanced Options" below these fields. The advanced options are constantly changing, so feel free to explore them! They're completely optional, and the app will use default preferences if you don't set anything here. So, take it easy and only adjust what you need!

3. Generate Suggestions!


After setting your preferences, click "Generate" (or similar button name) and watch the magic happen!

You'll see a map with markers for each suggested activity. Click on a marker to get more information about that specific place.


On the right side, you'll find the "Activities Drawer." This lists the detailed plan for your entire hangout. 

If you don't see it, just press the "DETAILS" button in the top right corner to toggle it open.


Not quite right? The "REFRESH" button (also in the top right) lets you regenerate suggestions based on your current feedback. If you're not satisfied with the initial ideas, give it another try!


Important Disclaimer

Currently, all suggestions are generated by Gemini. While it provides some great ideas, please note that the accuracy may vary in this version. We're planning to upgrade to even more accurate results in the future!

We'd love to hear from you! Please provide any feedback or suggestions you have for the app.


Future Improvements (Coming Soon!):

  • Implementing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for even better suggestions.
  • Preventing duplicate results by excluding previously suggested locations.
