EXPLORATORY DRAFT v0.1   18 October 2026 · Not approved or canonical

THE IDEA

From questions answered to opportunities discovered.

ORVY Companion is designed to use permissioned context, user-controlled memory and live place data to recommend relevant things to see, learn, and do. It starts with cultural discovery, everyday planning and safe location-based service guidance.

Human-firstConsent, explanation and user control
Context-awareInterests, location and verified place facts
Evidence-ledSource provenance before persuasive prose
MVP CAPABILITIES

Intelligence that fits into daily life.

01 / DISCOVERY

Nearby relevance

Find culture, learning, parks and useful services around an authorized location.

02 / MEMORY

Personal context

Remember chosen interests and expose inferred preferences for review and correction.

03 / REASONING

Grounded suggestions

Use AI tools over attributed place data, not invented events or opening hours.

04 / INITIATIVE

Opt-in proactivity

Surface opportunities at permitted moments with quiet hours and frequency limits.

05 / ACTION

Practical next steps

Offer details, maps and directions while keeping consequential actions in human hands.

06 / CONTROL

Human authority

Pause discovery, withdraw permissions and delete unwanted memories.

ARCHITECTURE STANCE

Reuse existing infrastructure. Preserve essential boundaries.

Initial deployment targets Windows Dedicated Server, IIS, ASP.NET Core MVC/C#, SQL Server, Bootstrap/TypeScript, OpenAI API and licensed mapping APIs. A browser-based MVP does not promise unrestricted background location tracking.
