Interesting to see that city guides are still the #1 use case used for those demo videos.

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.

Is it the technology you hate or some of its applications (or both)?

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...

Nice, I will check your solution too. I would also love to have NotebookLM available via API, it could be nice to generate podcast-like guides.

Thanks for sharing. This type of storytelling is what I want to achieve, even if I am not there yet. But I am confident this is achievable already.

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.
