The Spot Project immediately caught my interest due to my passion for discovering new places, trendy restaurants, and hidden gems. I strongly believe that my extensive and profound insights into finding and exploring locations surpass those of many others. The Spot is a curated local guide service that focuses on finding the perfect places in the present moment. 
It is designed as a user-centric recommendation with technology AiRSPACE(Airs + Place And Context Embedded) system has been implemented in SmartAround, recommending optimal places based on users' current location, time, gender, and age. It goes beyond conventional regional information, restaurants, or events, offering a unique and personalized approach to exploring and discovering noteworthy spots.

**AiRSPACE analyzes context—time, age, gender, interests, and location—along with POI characteristics from user-generated content, including atmosphere, visit purpose, peak times, and age trends. 
If a place matches the user’s profile, it’s automatically recommended.
