Ask your AI agent "what's near me?" and get a real answer

Description and use

Users can ask AI agents location-based questions and receive accurate answers based on real GPS coordinates, with explicit consent and no background tracking.

Problem

Users want AI agents to answer location-based questions accurately without guessing or asking for addresses, while preserving privacy and consent.

Outcome

Users can ask location-based questions to Claude and receive accurate answers based on real-time GPS data, with explicit consent and no background tracking.

Workflow

• 1. Connect Whereabot to Claude via MCP command or custom connector.
• 2. Set up Whereabot app on phone and sign in with same Google account.
• 3. Ask agent a location query (e.g., "Where am I right now?").
• 4. Phone prompts user to allow location; user taps Allow.
• 5. Agent receives one GPS fix and answers query.
• 6. For family/friends, repeat step 4 with their consent via Whereabot app.

Evidence

Ask Claude "find a pharmacy that is open now near me" and it asks where you are. You type an address, it guesses, and you lose a minute.

Source

Whereabot gives your agent your real location, only when you allow it.

Source

The agent gets nothing until you tap Allow. For an agent you trust, you can choose "Always allow"; the phone then tells you each time that the agent checked your location.

Source

Each request returns one point: latitude, longitude, accuracy and time. There is no history and no background tracking.

Source

The relay passes the fix to the agent that asked and forgets it. It writes no location to a database or a log.
