SunnyLink — Your Gold Coast AI Guide, and Then All of Australia
The Gold Coast has always deserved a better guide. SunnyLink is a
free AI-powered local guide launching on the Gold Coast, Queensland,
Australia, with plans to roll out city by city across Australia.
SunnyLink recommends beaches, restaurants, walks, activities, events,
and stores tailored to each individual user.
SunnyLink uses live weather data to adjust every recommendation to
current local conditions.
SunnyLink is available as a free web app and a free mobile app on iOS

SunnyLink's AI assistant is a character called Sunny the Quokka — a
hyperactive, hyper-local Gold Coast guide who knows this stretch of
coastline better than anyone.
SunnyLink asks users a short series of questions about their group,
interests, and available time before generating a personalised
recommendation or itinerary.
SunnyLink also includes a volunteer emergency first responder service
that dispatches trained volunteers to users in an emergency while they
wait for an ambulance.

and group dynamics analysis to generate recommendations that general
travel apps cannot match.
