## What Gydel is

Gydel is a mobile web app that turns spare minutes into live AI-built audio adventures. It is designed for walking, commuting, cooking, chores, waiting, resting, bedtime and other moments when people want story and play without staring at a screen. The player chooses a story world, listens as Gydel builds an immersive scene live around their actions, then responds with discreet controls or by speaking a free-form action.

Gydel is not a fixed audiobook and not a simple choose-your-path book. It is an audio-first interactive fiction game where the story is generated live around the player's actions. With compatible headphones or audio controls, much of the adventure can be played with the phone in your pocket after setup. Spoken actions are added as pre-selected choices, so the player can confirm, replace or ignore them before execution.
