Chapter 1
10 pm. A new city.
Sara has just moved to Rawalpindi for a new job. Her phone is on 12%, the shops are closing, and she doesn't know a single street yet.
She needs three things: cash, something for a headache, and someone to fix the tap dripping in her new flat.
Sara's list tonight
- Cash
- Headache medicine
- Someone to fix a tap
Chapter 2
One question. Three needs.
She types it the way she'd say it. No menus, no hunting through categories.
Mate understands that one sentence holds three separate needs, and searches for each of them.
I need cash, headache medicine and a plumber
Chapter 3
Only real places. Honestly.
Mate shows real ATMs and pharmacies from OpenStreetMap, with honest straight-line distances.
No plumbers are listed nearby, and Mate says so plainly. Instead it suggests hardware shops that sell parts, clearly labelled as alternatives. Nothing is ever invented.
- ATM≈ 350 m away (straight line)
- Pharmacy≈ 600 m away (straight line)
- No plumbers are listed nearby.
- Alternative · not a confirmed providerHardware shop that sells plumbing parts
Chapter 4
And the new city starts to feel like home.
By the weekend Sara has ticked off most of her settling-in checklist: groceries, a pharmacy, a park for Sunday walks.
Mate remembers her progress on her own phone. No account, no sign-up.

- Locate the nearest pharmacy
