The Globe
A live news globe on Mapbox. Real events, rendered where they happen. Spin the planet; the planet is the interface.

01 · THE PROBLEM
The news reaches everyone and no one.
We're drowning in headlines and starving for understanding. The news is a flat, generic feed — the same wall of text for everyone, cut off from where events happen and the history that explains them. You can't ask it a question. You can't hear it. You can't see the world it's describing.
02 · WHAT WE BUILT
The world, on a globe — and it talks back.

The Briefing
An embedded LLM aggregates live, web-scraped news into personalized reports — wherever you are in the world.

The Conversation
Talk to it, by text or real-time voice. Ask about a breaking story or dive into a country's entire history — and it answers, out loud.
03 · HOW IT WORKS
Agentic from the ground up.
A live pipeline — web scraping and aggregation feed a RAG layer that grounds every briefing in real, current sources, not the model's memory. Events surface on a Mapbox globe where they happen, and ElevenLabs voice agents narrate and converse in real time. Built through Lovable's agentic coding harness so two people could iterate at hackathon speed — which is exactly why it took Best Agentic Integration. With Andres Cruz, in 48 hours.
04 · THE WIN
Best Agentic Integration. $5,000.
At ElevenLabs' worldwide hackathon — launched alongside their voice agent, drawing builders from around the world — Gaia won Best Agentic Integration on the Lovable track.
05 · WHAT'S NEXT
A model of the world, rendered in real time.
Gaia turned the planet into something you can ask questions of. It's the clearest preview of where KINO is headed — one live model of the world: narrated, spatial, agentic. The globe was just the beginning.
