Nest vs Vicinity World

At Google Nest, we make products that are beautiful, helpful and easy to use. The Nest app is no exception. Control your Nest thermostat, arm and disarm your Nest Secure alarm system, see your home with Nest Cam, and get an alert if Nest Protect goes off – all in one place. And receive notifications on your iPhone or iPad. Nest uses sensors, algorithms and the location of your phone to do the right thing automatically, turning off the heat and turning on the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind Me alert.

Local value exists everywhere. Coordination doesn't. A few streets away there is someone who drives your route every morning, someone who fixes sprinklers for fun, someone with the ladder you need once a year. You can't see them, and there is no easy, trusted way to ask. So we fall back on group chats and word of mouth — or on national platforms that organize by category, take a large cut, and know nothing about your neighborhood. Vicinity World organizes help by place first. One map shows what neighbors offer and need near home, near work, or along the routes you already drive — and lets the two of you coordinate directly, with payment captured only after the help happens. FIND HELP CLOSE TO HOME • Discover services offered by neighbors: rides and carpools, home repairs, tutoring, pet care, errands, and more • See providers on a live map, filtered to your area • Instant booking: when a provider is live nearby, request them on the spot and track their arrival in real time HELP WHERE YOU NEED IT • Search any neighborhood — find trusted help near home, near work, or near the people you care about far away (a check-in for your parents across the country, help at a place you're traveling to) • Along-your-route carpooling: offer or find rides on trips someone is already making OFFER YOUR SKILLS • List a service in minutes and set your own prices and availability • Get paid securely by card or bank transfer — consumers pay nothing to use the app, and new providers start with a 90-day free trial of the platform BUILT FOR TRUST • Verified providers, ratings, and reviews • You control who sees you: neighborhood-level visibility rules, per-person blocking, and privacy-first live sharing that you start and stop • Payments are protected — money is only captured after a service completes A REAL NEIGHBORHOOD FEELING • A local feed of posts, tips, and neighborhood happenings • Join your neighborhood: real map-drawn communities with member-only posts — ask to join and a neighbor admin welcomes you in • Message neighbors, share live locations during rides you choose to share, and build the kind of connections that make a place feel like home Knowing what's around you is useful before any transaction happens. Start there. Vicinity World — Connect Locally, Impact Globally.
