WalkSmart is an AI web app that generates walking tours based on your preferences. Get a detailed tour with audio narration and open the full route on Google Maps with one click.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm excited to share WalkSmart.AI with you today! 🚶 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️
The idea sparked while I was working remotely in Riga, using ChatGPT to create walking tours and explore the city. It worked okayish, but previewing the tour only in text form and having to open each stop on Google Maps was a bit annoying.
So I build a better version, this is how it works:
1) Visit the website and choose a starting point (just a city or be specific).
2) Optionally customize the tour: duration, preferences, random things you want to do... anything.
3) Get a detailed tour with overview of each stop, and open the full route on Google Maps with one click.
4) Optionally convert the tour into an audio guided tour, for the full experience 🎧
Behind the scenes, it’s powered by a RAG setup that merges AI-generated tours with Google Maps & Places API 🤖
I come from a product design background, and WalkSmart.AI is my first solo-coded project from start to finish. It’s been an incredible learning journey, but I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback 💫 Also if you have ideas for new features please share!
By signing up you get 2 credits, but for 🎉🎉 PRODUCT HUNT USERS ONLY 🎉🎉 if you want more to test or to generate audio tour feel free to DM me on twitter and I'll send them over!
Give WalkSmart.AI a try, and thanks for your support 🚶♂️❤️
All the best 🙌
Great tool—I'm already using! Some of the key use cases for me are:
1/ Make a walking tour in a specific area I haven't explored yet
2/ Compare the suggested tour with a guided city tour provided by special services with professionals guide so that I can choose a better option
@marcelokunze I love the concept! So much so that I'm pretty sure we're trying to solve a similar issue for travellers ourselves.
Gets an upvote for sure. Keep it up!
For me, who enjoys discovering new places, this is unquestionably a must-try. I adore that I can receive directions by simply clicking.
The option to generate tours based on my preferences is such a clever feature. I'm happy to seeing it.
Cool product and I can totally see this being part of all my travels. I can even see an Audio tour feature on top happening.
I think the challenge here is to keep users to remember that this service can help, additionally, how would you look at monitisation?
Hey Marcelo! Such an interesting product, and I can see it working very well with Meta Ray-Ban sunglasses in the future. Great job!
I'd love to know if it can adjust based on how much time I want to spend at each spot.

What's the regular pricing, and what do we get for two credits?
And, can we download the audio and use it elsewhere (commercially)?
@marcelokunze such a cool tool; I've got it bookmarked for my trip to Vancouver in a few weeks!
Hi Marcelo. This looks interesting.
Quick question. Are you tracking, how many people are filling in the form, and how many of them then go on to create an account?
Personally, I can't stand it, when I take the time to fill in a form, only to be told in the next step, that I have to create an account. So, I usually leave.
The app is useful, I found the user interface a bit cluttered and hard to navigate at first.
@marcelokunze congrats on your launch! I am a huge travel enthusiast and designing the perfect sightseeing route has often been a challenge for me. Great to see that your tool can make it easer 🚀
Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious, how do you ensure the walking routes are safe and accessible for all users, especially those with mobility challenges?
