Riding Buddy, a voice-only companion for solo motorcycle tours

Field notes

The proposed workflow begins with a spoken wake word and keeps the rider in an audio-first interaction loop: ask for weather or a rest stop, check a place or road, or dictate a memo, then return to standby. The page identifies several deliberate boundaries, including no turn-by-turn directions, no emergency response, and no guaranteed accuracy. It also says wake-word detection stays on the device and that conversation audio is not retained as recordings.
