App to unlock tales of any landmark around. From photo & map
AI travel buddy app which tells you great stories similarly but smarter than audioguides. Empowered by many new features: - story by photo; - map navigation and routes; - personalization and content memory of what you already learned
Hi Makers and Hunters!
We did our first launch a year ago and, since that, went through a great journey improving our app, collecting user feedbacks, trying to do best to make experience better and adding new features.
Now you can smoothly use Herodot AI to navigate through new cities or your home town. You can ask about literally any landmark or other object you wonder and listen to its stories in different styles. I really enjoy learning a lot of unknown facts, even about something you see on your way every day. I hope you'll enjoy it too!
App not only tells you stories on the object (or territory) you asked, but also remembers what you've learned before, building a longer compelling story, bringing new facts or elaborating on what you already know. This makes your stories even more customized.
We integrated Google maps in the app in such a manner, that you can use in the app most important functions of the maps, which you may need in your journey:
- searching any object by name;
- building walking routes;
- highlighting landmarks around;
- getting short object's info with clickable markers.
Please, try the app (available for both iOS and Android), share your experiences and suggestions to make it better!

Who hunted Herodot AI?
Herodot AI was hunted by Oleg Bakatanov. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
