NIGHTRIDE: built for the worst hour. Works at every hour.

A voice-first night dispatcher for people who aren't in a car: cyclists, e-bike riders, and walkers. Hold one button, say what happened, and three Meta models hear you, sort it, and give you the one next thing to do: fix it with fact-checked steps, find what's open right now, tell your people where you are, or go straight to 911. Waze tells you where. NIGHTRIDE tells you what to do, and stays with you until you're home.

Why: I ride an e-bike through California's High Desert, often after dark. Flats far from home, a motor that cut out miles out, drivers passing far too close. If you're not in a car at night, nobody's coming to fix your flat. 76% of US pedestrian deaths and 52% of cyclist deaths happen in the dark (NHTSA, 2024 data).

Oct 30, the day I submitted, I became test subject zero for real. Riding to work on Yucca Loma Rd in Apple Valley, a driver passed without giving me 3 feet. I had nowhere to go but off the edge of the road into the dirt, and I went down in the lane. Broad daylight, people saw it, nobody stopped. I got up with bruises and a hurt thumb. If another car had been behind that one, I could have been run over. That's why CLOSE CALL exists. And it's why I changed it the next morning: nothing is saved until the rider chooses where it happened, so a report never puts anyone's home on the map.

What it does:
- Talk: hold one button; Muse Voice Transcribe hears you in about two seconds.
- Dispatch: Muse Spark Open sorts it into FIX IT, RIDE, or SAFE PLACE and speaks one calm next step.
- Fix it: point the camera; Muse Spark Open names the part and picks a card from a 64-card fact-checked playbook. SAM 3.1 then outlines that exact part in every frame of your clip. Long repairs come in parts ("Get the wheel off, part 1 of 4"), and "Can't fix it here?" is always one tap away.
- Get me somewhere: real places open right now from OpenStreetMap, never a closed one, including a police station when you feel unsafe. A closed bike shop can't help you at 11 PM; a lit, staffed gas station gets you off the shoulder.
- Tell my people: pick people from your contacts; one tap texts them your battery and a map link.
- Close Call: one tap logs where a driver came too close; reports stack into a map the city can download as CSV.
- Emergency guard: words like "a car hit me" skip the model and show Call 911, enforced in code and tested.
- Works offline: in dead zones the safety guard and the playbook run on the phone.

Built solo during the hackathon, starting Oct 26 2026 9:03 PM PT; the commit history is the record. Proof: RECEIPTS.md maps every claim to its test and code (27 unit tests, 16 live end-to-end checks, and a 13-step judge walkthrough, all passing on the live site).

Video notes: the voice beats were recorded Oct 29, when Muse Spark Open did the hearing; since Oct 30 Muse Voice Transcribe hears first and Muse Spark Open is the backup ear. A simulated "Night riders nearby" link visible on the home screen in those beats has since been removed and is never used. The riding scenes are AI-generated illustrations (Runway) from the builder's own photos, bike and gear; the narration is the builder's own voice, generated from his recording; app screens are real recordings of the live app. Music: "Please Come Home", an original track by NoBanks Nearby, the developer of NIGHTRIDE.
