The differentiation from traditional audio guides is compelling—especially the vivid, specific descriptions like "At 7:30 AM, steam rises from 'Yamaji'..." versus generic recommendations. What kind of latency are you seeing when generating this level of rich, grounded content in real-time?

Good catch! Yeah, it's about ~20 seconds right now with Flash 3.0. Definitely on the slower side.

I'm hoping to move to Flash Lite when it's out, that should help a lot. Also thinking about adding some better loading feedback so it doesn't feel quite so long while you wait.
