Product concept: mobile AI guide for tourists: a local-friend style guide, not a generic tour leader. [Source: knowledge/raw/project-history/2026-04-16-status.md]
Current deal shape: custom development plus 5% equity for WaiWai. Current commercial direction is one 12M RUB plan split into design/spec and development phases. [Source: knowledge/raw/project-history/2026-04-16-negotiations-log.md]
Next contractual step: start with Stage 1, design plus technical specification, priced at 3M RUB. [Source: knowledge/raw/project-history/2026-04-16-negotiations-log.md]
Product wedge: personal guide with non-obvious places “like from a local”; direct competitor research points to GPS autoplay, offline cities, camera guide, branching narratives, and verified local content as high-value patterns. [Source: knowledge/raw/market/2026-04-15-competitive-analysis-v2.md]

Target market priority: Russia, China, Asia, US, Europe, or LatAm.
Audience: frequent travelers, Russian-speaking tourists, local explorers, or B2B/DMO partners.
Launch scope: iOS-first MVP versus both platforms.
Monetization priority: subscription, booking commissions, B2B white-label, or hybrid.
Marketing ownership and first acquisition channel.
