Your local host for a first trip to Korea.
MateAI is a travel-companion character chat for English-speaking first-time visitors to Korea. Chat with friendly local hosts who help with transit, places, food and etiquette, in plain English.

Local host characters
A small cast of host characters, each with their own voice, who answer like a friend who lives in Seoul.
Practical help
Getting around by subway and bus, finding places to eat, and everyday etiquette for a first visit.
Facts from public data
Tourism and transit facts come from Korean public open-data APIs, not from the language model.
How it works
Rule-based routing
Questions that need facts are routed to public data first; the model handles the conversation around them.
Safety guard
A safety layer checks replies, and every chat clearly shows that you are talking with an AI.
Built with Claude
We build MateAI with Claude Code and are moving host dialogue and evaluation onto the Claude API.
MateAI is an early-stage prototype. Features and coverage are still growing.
