Real People. Real Answers. Real Time.
CityVibe is an on-demand, hyperlocal information marketplace that connects people with real-time local questions to spotters on the ground who can answer them quickly and accurately.
Built by Austinites, in Austin
While influencers, media, and "what's happening" sites focus on curated highlight reels and promotional content, CityVibe captures real-world, real-time updates across the city.
Minutes-fresh content, not days-old articles
Block-by-block, street-level detail
Real people, not bots or scraped data
See it yourself with video and photos
Submit questions via CityVibe.me and set a bounty amount.
Verified spotters use the iOS app to capture real-time video answers.
First accepted answer wins the bounty. You get authentic, on-the-ground intel.
Spotters aren't influencers. They're everyday people equipped to provide a snapshot of on-the-ground happenings—and getting paid for it.
You become part of a living, breathing map of the city. You're not selling anything—you're sharing the city's real pulse.
We've paid out over $10,000 to spotters in just the last few weeks!
No guessing. No hype. No FOMO frustration.
Just the real answer: Should I go now? Should I skip it? What's the vibe?
CityVibe becomes a daily habit—quick, real, visual decisions about where to eat, shop, explore, chill, party, or avoid.
