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!
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.

Thanks a lot. We really need driver users like you!

This is amazing!

Maker
Thanks a lot for your support!

Love this idea! A smart travel guide that remembers what I’ve already learned is exactly what I need. Can’t wait to try it!

Does the app also recommend what to see? E.g. most visited ("played") places in the app? :)

Maker

 Thanks for your question! Yes, app recommends what to see if you ask about piece of the map, e.g. city or its district. Herodot will tell about most important attractions here

 You were thinking about this beforehand, that sounds cool!

Very cool. Is this tool intended for at home use to explore the world, or for actual traveling?

 Herodot app is great for everyone. You can lie at home and study everything that interests you. Or you can personally explore any point in the world and learn from the Herodot app about what is around you, build routes to interesting attractions, photograph unknown objects and learn everything about them.

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.

 Thanks for review, improving audio for each language is already in focus for the near future!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Yes, non-English voicing isn't always ideal, we look forward to improve it with other libraries. Unfortunately, now, premium models like 11labs are just too expensive to use. But this to be improved for sure

Solid refinement on spatial memory tech 🧭📚 Map-to-narrative feels more natural

I've been waiting for this kinda of app for quite long! Gonna test it out today!

Just gave Herodot a try in my neighborhood wild how it pulled up stories for places I pass every day.

Love the layered storytelling and memory-based follow-ups.
