💡 Bright idea
love this 🎧 if you ever wanted to have a fun "cultural corner" in the app you could invite famous artists to give tours of their favorite works of art in museums. oddball idea I know idea 💡 but it could be sponsored by a museum and raise awareness of the app.

@terrence_kelleman ahhh Terrence! That's a wonderful idea! We added it to our bucket list :)

@peterercsey01 The concept of an audio tour is new to me, but this product feels like a fresh and exciting idea. I'll give it a try! I’ve gained some great insights from this. Wishing you the best of luck! 🚀
Peter Orban
@seungwhan Thanks so much for your kind words! 🚀 We're thrilled that Wingman Studio feels like a fresh concept to you. We designed it to make audio tours more interactive and accessible. Let us know what you think after trying it out – we'd love to hear your feedback! 🎧✨

Congrats on launching Wingman Studio! This is such a great way for creators to turn their city knowledge into an interactive experience while travelers get richer, more immersive tours. The roadmap with AI storytelling and AR sounds exciting. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
Peter Orban
@abdulsameed Thanks! 🎉 We figured it was about time travelers got more than just a Google search and a vague sense of direction. 😂 And for creators—why not get paid for knowing where the best coffee and weirdest local legends are? ☕👀 AI storytelling is just the beginning… next stop: teleportation (okay, maybe not yet, but we’re working on it). 🚀😂
Sameed
@peterercsey01 Haha, love the ambition. Best wishes! ❤️

Audio is a great content medium-it feels like a better experience than watching travel guides on YouTube. Congrats on the launch!

@zhiqi_shi Improving on the current product is our main goal. Any user feedback is highly appreciated.

Turn your city knowledge into audio tours! Hey Hunters! Ever wished you could bottle up a local's knowledge of their city? That's what Wingman does. It's both a platform for creators to share their favorite spots / knowledge through audio tours and a travel companion for people who dislike feeling like tourists. For Creators: Wingman Studio lets you create and sell audio tours directly through their city guide app. If you're a tour guide, content creator, or just someone who knows their city inside out, you can now turn that knowledge into income - earning commission on every tour sold. For Explorers: Think of it as having a knowledgeable friend in every city. With over 1000 tours across 70+ cities, you get authentic local insights, from hidden cafes to secret viewpoints. The app helps you find what you need in real-time, whether it's a bathroom break or the best pasta in town. Key Features: • Create and monetize your own audio tours • Explore cities through local perspectives • Get real-time recommendations • Access interactive maps with points of interest • Available in multiple languages I've always found traditional tour guides a bit restricting - this feels like a fresh take on city exploration. Would love to hear what others think about this approach!

@gabor_e I always wondered what it’d be like to have a local best friend in every city—minus the awkward small talk and the guilt of not texting back. 😂 Wingman pretty much makes that possible, but with actual useful insights (like where to find the best pizza at 2 AM or a bathroom when it’s an emergency). Excited to see how people use this to turn their city knowledge into a side hustle! 🚀
Kitti Kun
@gabor_e @peterercsey01 This planet is big with so many amazing places. I would love to see tours created about far-away locations (outside of Europe).
Gábor E.
@peterercsey01 @kitti_kun Couldn't agree more, Kitti! You know how passionate we are about global exploration and sharing our knowledge. We're already working on adding some incredible destinations far far-away!

Can't wait to try it as an explorer! 🗺️ Especially looking forward to the AR features. Not sure exactly what you have in mind, but it would be great to be able to point my camera at a building and have an overlay that explains what I'm looking at. Or vice-versa, when the audio tour tells me about a site, it can help me orient to make sure I'm looking at the right thing.
Peter Orban
@tleyden That’s awesome! 🚀 We’ve got a long list of upcoming features in the works, and AR is definitely a big one! 👀 We’re planning to add gamification elements too, so tours feel even more interactive—think challenges, collectibles, and maybe even some hidden surprises along the way. 🎧🏆 Can’t wait for you to try it out! 😃
Traun Leyden
@peterercsey01 Gamification sounds cool, especially if it leads to free credits. Idea for you: what about allowing explorers to request content for places they're planning to travel? That would help the content creators get motivated to create content for high demand places. Also, does the app work inside of large historical sights, for example Pompeii? What about inside museums?

Launching soon!

@samalyx @peterercsey01 really interesting product and niche industry that I would have never thought of - I REALLY like that distinct tour component - oftentimes when I am traveling I don't want to put on the little headset and walk around with the group / or even rent their little headset - It would be really nice to dive in and dive out of my music / podcast / audiobook and specific areas of a tour that I am interested in learning about... Maybe I know everything about post modernism but X Museum has an exhibit that I am really interested in - Choose from X tour guide - pay my 1.99 for the audio - plug in and FFWd to that specific area of the "tour" Let me know if I understand the use case haha - either way really neat and unique idea!
Peter Orban
@samalyx @dzaitzow Haha, you nailed it! That’s exactly the kind of flexibility we wanted to bring to audio tours—no clunky headsets, no forced group walks, just your own pace, your own interests. You can pick and choose the parts of a tour that actually interest you (because let’s be honest, sometimes we just want the cool stories and skip the history of 18th-century door hinges 😂). Pay per tour, listen on your terms, and jump between your music, podcasts, or audiobooks seamlessly. Super glad you see the value in it—thanks for the awesome breakdown!
Jòzsef Molnos
That sounds like a fantastic concept! Giving influencers and tour guides an easy way to share their knowledge while earning from it is a brilliant idea. I love how it enhances city exploration with engaging audio tours—it's a win-win for both creators and travelers. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
Peter Orban
@jozsef_molnos thanks my friend :) it means a lot for us
Mayoyo From saasuserboost.com
Congrats on the launch, Wingman team! This is exactly what the travel and creator economy needed. As someone who’s worked with influencers, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to monetize local expertise—until now. Why I’m obsessed: 1️⃣ Turn passion into passive income: Let creators upload once and earn 24/7? Genius. No more hustling for bookings or managing schedules. 2️⃣ Travelers win big: I’d 100% use Wingman to ditch generic tours and find hidden gems (like that secret tapas bar in Barcelona only locals know). 3️⃣ Scalable + sticky: With 1,000+ tours in 55+ cities already, this could become the “Spotify of travel” for authentic experiences. I ask for the PH community to show some love to this amazing tool. Prediction: This will be the top travel product of 2024. Kudos @peterercsey01, @bereczki_karoly & team!
Bereczki Karoly
@peterercsey01 @mayoyo25 Thank you so much! "Spotify of travel" - I love this name 🙌
Mayoyo From saasuserboost.com
@peterercsey01 @bereczki_karoly The “Spotify of travel” vision is already happening—your team’s built something revolutionary.
yuno bastard
Congratulations on the launch of Wingman Studio! Enabling influencers and tour guides to monetize their expertise is a great initiative. How do you ensure the quality and engagement level of audio tours created by users?
Suyash Handke
Interesting product but how many users will purchase this instead of just looking at a you tube video??🤔🤔
Peter Orban
@suyash_handke Thanks for the comment! This is for people who actually step outside and explore, not just watch someone else do it on YouTube in their pajamas. 😂 Plus, Wingman gives real local insights and hidden gems you won’t find in mainstream videos—because let’s be honest, the best spots aren’t always trending on YouTube. 🎧✨
Kitti Kun
@suyash_handke One thing is looking up locations on Youtube (it is more passive), another thing is actually walk and discover on the spot while listening great stories about those specific locations. This is more an active act from the travelers, in my opinion.
Peter Orban
@suyash_handke @kitti_kun haha, I agree totally!
Max Hofert
Super rad idea guys!
Peter Orban
@powerbomb haha thanks! IT IS RAD!!!!
Christopher Dean
Not a bad idea. Where can I find other peoples tours?
Peter Orban
@christopher_dean Hi Christopher! You can find the uploaded tours in the Wingman Mobile App (iOS & Android). Cheers! :)

Love this innovative approach to audio tours! It's brilliant how you're creating a win-win marketplace where travel content creators can monetize their expertise while travelers get authentic, local-guided experiences. The commission-based model could really incentivize quality content creation. As someone interested in both travel and content creation, I'm curious about: 1. The revenue split between creators and platform 2. Whether creators can offer tours in multiple languages 3. If there's any quality control process for submitted tours. The potential for scaling with user-generated content while maintaining quality will be key. Looking forward to seeing this grow! 🌍🎧
Bradon H
Some of my best memories involve listening to an audio guide while exploring famous landmarks. Really love when technology sparks curiosity (rather than encouraging engagement traps and doomscrolling). Nice work, I'll definitely give this platform a try.

Love your idea, but it seems that all content is generated by wingman team's AI now, hope there'll be human guide and the ability to filter them.
Andrea TORTELLA
Congrats on the launch! Love the conversational feature. I’m building Thrads.us. I’d love to explore a partnership. Happy to set up a call here https://calendly.com/andreatorte...

There is also no roadmap for how the developer will spread this software to travelers.

Because of these two points, I thought only few would look at this app and actively create and publish tours.

Also, it would be better if there was a function to export the content user have created. I think that people who create tours will probably be registered with various similar apps, but none of them have an export function, so this would lead to differentiation.
