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!
This is such a refreshing take on sightseeing. I’d love to know, how do you make the stories feel personal? Is there any kind of voice profile or learning system that adapts based on user interests?
Amazing idea - I moved to Spanish Valencia a year ago, and haven't had enough time to explore the historical centre. However, now I find a landmark, click the building, enable autoplay - and voilà, I'm exploring the city I live in as a background. Think of a generated podcast for your new city. Wow, just wow!
As for improvements, I would suggest exploring alternative voices for each language, as sometimes the pronunciation sounds a bit strange.
This is a kind of app I see the value for, and would easily subscribe to for a small fee.
I have been using Herodot for months. Today it is like a habit. if I want to know about some unknown place I open the application. Last time it was to day ago in Fethiye near antique tombs.
Very cool. Is this tool intended for at home use to explore the world, or for actual traveling?
Does the app also recommend what to see? E.g. most visited ("played") places in the app? :)
