We are currently working on this with Audiala (iOS and webapp, Android should be released any coming days), making progress slowly but surely. We started to add tools to the AI chat to organise your trip and explore the place following your preferences and those of your group if you decide to share the trip.
We can turn feedback into actual improvements pretty fast now, so would love to have yours and progress towards building the app you really want.
Really disappointed with Anthropic recently, burned through 2 max plans and extra usage past 10 days, getting limited almost 1h in a 5h session. Reading about the extra "safe guards" might be the nail on the coffin.
It doesn't really work. I tried my website and it shows up, while definitely being built after 2023. There is a mistake in the metadata of the page that shows it as from 2011.
What is the current state of the art for open source multilingual TTS? I have found Kokoro to be great as English as well, but am still searching for a good solution for French, Japanese, German...
We rely on AI for most of the content and correct if mistakes are spotted, but they seem quite rare. 99% of the content is directly coming from our AI pipeline.
Yes, it's definitely a cool project! Sometimes it's hard to stop reading and listening at all there is to learn and instead code... I hope to have the itineraries with directions done by end of January.
It’s a RAG pipeline based on content from wikipedia and relevant websites. Getting the list of relevant places might the trickiest part of the pipeline but for this I settled with a not-perfect solution where users can manually request missing places.
I have built https://audiala.com which creates audioguides for historical and touristic places in cities all over the world. It brings a bit over $500/month in in-app purchases.
I got the idea in 2023 as I was solo traveling Florence, Italy and thought it would be much nicer to listen to stories about the monuments around me instead of having to read a guide. There is also so much more to be done: next, my plan is to create personalised itineraries based on your preferences, starting point, etc.
I tried paid marketing but found much more effective the SEO I have done on the website, and users seem to share with their friends and come back, which makes me happy.
Indeed, but as you increase the complexity, you increase the chance of failure, and increase the costs as well, even if those are quite minimal in comparison with the time a human would have to spend on this to do that manually.
It's far from being perfect yet, sometimes too shallow and lacking a guiding thread, but after few iterations we believe it should offer all the information a visitor might need when planning a visit.
I like the idea but it's "hallucinating" a lot. An example that I often use is to search for a building not too well know in a small city. If the information (such as architect, building date) is online, but the content generated is wrong, it fails my test.
