Founded in 2021 by engineer Miguel Varela, WAIIS is a technology startup based in Panama City, Panama, that operates an AI-powered shared mobility platform. The company aims to optimize daily commutes by transforming them into automated, shared routines.The platform utilizes a proprietary GeoAI technology to connect users—both drivers and passengers—who have similar and recurring travel patterns. This B2C service focuses on creating a trusted network of users. A key feature is the system’s ability to automate the matching and assignment process, which eliminates the need for users to communicate via chat or negotiate terms for each trip. The B2B model is designed to offer this carpooling service at fares comparable to public transportation, making it an accessible alternative.Users build a reputation and trust score within the ecosystem by verifying their trips. As a reward for consistent and reliable participation, the platform provides redeemable credits. This gamified incentive structure encourages network growth and user loyalty. The founder’s background in digital transformation and process optimization has guided the company’s focus on creating an efficient and user-friendly mobility solution.Keywords: shared mobility, GeoAI, carpooling, daily commute, mobility network, smart mobility, urban mobility, transportation platform, AI mobility, ride sharing, commuter service, automatic matching, peer-to-peer transportation, mobility as a service, sustainable transport, routine travel, Panama tech, mobility credits, trusted network, transport automation
