🌟 Introduction

LINKUP - a web app that simplifies how groups choose where to meet by combining fairness, efficiency, and data-driven insight.

💡 Inspiration

We’ve all been there — trying to plan a hangout in NYC that actually works for everyone. One friend’s in Queens, another’s in Brooklyn, and someone’s already complaining about the subway transfers. That’s why we built LINKUP to make finding a fair meetup spot easy. Instead of endless group chats and Google Maps links, LINKUP does the work for you, finding the perfect middle ground so everyone meets halfway.

🚀 What it does

LINKUP brings your crew together in one shared session where everyone drops their location. Once the squad's in, the app crunches the location data to find meetup spots that are actually fair for everyone. The top three suggestions pop up on Google Maps so you can see exactly where you're headed. To assist our decision-making, our GenAI summary with LangChain gives you the inside scoop on why each spot made the cut, so you're not just picking randomly—you've got smart, data-backed reasons behind your choice.
