Beside is a contact in your Messages app that knows the neighborhood — late movies, last-minute tables, morning tee times, the coffee with the quieter back room. Ask like you'd ask a friend.
What it is
Share your location once and Beside thinks in walking minutes, not search results. Suggestions start from where you're standing.
Tell Beside what you love once. It checks your live location on a schedule and texts only when something nearby is worth stopping for.
Menus, courses, rooms — Beside sends photos and audio as native carousels in Messages. Swipe through tonight's options like a friend texted them over.
Movie tickets, tee times, tables — Beside holds real booking tools, so "sounds good" turns into a confirmation in the same thread.
Behind every ping, Beside has already scanned the maps and the web — hours, deals, reviews — so an alert means a real find, not just a pin nearby.
No app, no account, no feed. Beside is a contact in your phone, and the whole product is the conversation.
The quiet-back-room preference, the oat milk, the 9am-not-8am tee times. Beside keeps the thread, so you never re-explain.
Add Beside to the planning thread. It reads the room, proposes the plan, runs the poll, and books the winner.
"Remind me Thursday" actually happens Thursday. Beside schedules its own follow-ups, so plans don't die in the scroll.
Standing requests
Some asks aren't for tonight — they're standing orders. Beside checks your live location on a schedule and quietly compares the block around you against the things you told it you love, scanning the maps, the menus, and the web. When something lines up, you get exactly one text.
Location sharing stays yours — grant it and revoke it right in Messages. Beside only looks on the schedule you pick.
Deals
"Let me know when I'm near a nice course with a good deal." Beside watches the maps and the green-fee pages while you go about your day.

A list of names is homework. Beside answers with the thing itself — photos and voice notes that arrive as native Messages carousels, not links you have to open.
Ask what's good at the clubhouse and the menu lands as a swipe-through. Ask if the bar is loud and you get fourteen seconds of the room. Show-and-tell, in the thread you already have open.
How it works
Grab Beside's number at beside.chat and save it like you'd save a friend. That's the whole install.
Drop a pin or just name the neighborhood. Beside starts thinking in blocks and walking minutes.
Tonight, tomorrow, the weekend. Beside proposes, you tapback, it books — all in the thread.
