AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
Many of us would prefer to work remote, but if you're like me, the biggest downside with going to the office is the commute. I created an app that calculates average commute times and displays them on a map. (US only for now). I'm hoping this is useful for people :) Points...
Job seekers and people deciding where to live or whether to return to an office could use a map that shows typical commute times in one place. Since the tool is US-only for now, its usefulness depends on whether coverage expands. Readers may want to check how the commute figures are generated before relying on them.
Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
