Every city has a secret language—a hidden history etched into its architecture and a vibrant energy pulse in its local events. Often, as travelers, we only scratch the surface. This realization was the spark for my latest experiment: a personal, AI-powered companion designed to unveil the hidden stories of the world in real-time.
I’m excited to share the journey of creating an AI-assisted tour guide app that transforms a simple walk into an immersive exploration.
The Vision: More than a Map
The goal wasn’t just to list landmarks, but to synthesize a rich, interactive, and personalized touring experience using the power of Large Language Models (LLMs).
What it does:
- Intelligent Landmark Discovery: The app doesn’t just look for markers; it understands the context of your surroundings to suggest meaningful points of interest.
- Narrative Weaving: By researching local events and deep history, it provides more than just facts—it tells the story of the place.
- Multi-Sensory Interaction: Every discovery includes a guided introduction, a visual context, and seamless audio narration to keep your eyes on the world, not your screen.
Experience the experiment for yourself here:
This is just the beginning of how we can use AI to deepen our connection with the physical world. I’m eager to hear how it changes your perspective on your next journey.
