The Problem
We frequently need to share our location with friends, family, or colleagues who are meeting or expecting us. Traditional methods like navigating through complex map-sharing features; describing landmarks; or finding, copying, and sending address text can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
The Product
Marco Polo is a location-sharing app inspired by the classic swimming pool game where one person calls "Marco" and others respond "Polo" to help locate them. The app brings this familiar concept to real-world location sharing and provides a simple way to share your exact location instantly. It was designed and built entirely using AI tools.
Core Features
- One-tap location sharing with contacts through the familiar "Marco/Polo" interaction
- Real-time map display showing your current location and address
- Privacy-first design with no data collection or external database storage
Target Use Cases
- Meeting friends at crowded venues or unfamiliar locations
- Quickly sharing location during emergencies
- Communicating how far away from your destination you are
Process
Built with Cursor. I wrote exactly zero lines of code, created exactly zero mockups, and designed the app by telling the AI how I wanted it to look. Working with a large language model is like collaborating with a super smart, super patient partner (if you're doing it right). My favorite part is that it never says "can't".
If you'd like to download and use the app and you have an Android phone, here's the link:
