Hi, I’m Nick. Choosebike is my research project: a way to learn what today’s AI technology can really do — and, at the same time, my answer to the question so many people kept asking me: which bike suits me best?
Independent — and free. For the sake of science and my own learning, you’re using AI on my dime! Choosebike is an inference engine that uses a deterministic master db of bikes, a reasoning engine (LLM), and an agentic search engine to ground the suggestions in reality.
