Hi, we have always wanted to try incorporating AI into one of our products. Our histories are primarily built on stories and images generated by AI. We believe that every place has a story, and modern technology helps us uncover and retell them for those, like us, love to discover new destinations. While our project is starting in Prague, we hope to expand further soon, so you can listen to stories from all over the world. Let us know what you think about it. Founders Jarda and Filip.

@jardasimek Congratulations on the launch and I hope this product does well in the future. Are you only looking at sources like Wikipedia (as they can be edited by anyone) or is this also validated by historians, archaeologists, etc.?

@muzammil_22 We are not working with any historians at the moment, but it is a sensible step for the future. Thanks, Muzammil.

Congrats on the launch! How do you verify historical accuracy, as AI has been known to "hallucinate"?

@dan16 Thanks Daniel, so far we use wikipedia and other sources to validate the main facts. Some stories are based on theese facts and some may be completely fictional. It would be great if any young historician join our team in the future to help us create and validate stories.

@jardasimek oh that sounds awesome. I feel like very soon “checked by human” will become a thing 😂

This is really cool, how will you be making money to make it sustainable?

@ty_robb Our plan is to unlock stories in certain locations. Cities or states maybe. For example you are planing to visit Los Angeles, so you pay and unclock all places in California.

Interesting! I wonder if every story in each place is created by AI?

Histories sounds like a fascinating way to enrich travel experiences! The combination of AI-generated stories and images to bring locations to life is quite innovative. How do you ensure the accuracy and authenticity of the historical facts provided by the AI? Also, are there plans to allow user contributions or collaborations to further enhance the content Looking forward to exploring Prague with Histories when I have a chance 😁

@kyrylosilin Happy to hear that Kyrylo, thanks for nice comment! We try to verify the facts via the Internet, but it is possible that some of them are fictitious. Similarly, stories can be based on real events or be completely fictional. It's a lot of work for now, it would be great if the AI would stop making up so much in the future :D We see user involvement as an interesting but difficult step to implement. Initially, we'll focus more on generating locations so we can offer users an experience in more places. Social interaction between them will probably come later.

I really look forward to adding more places to this product, so that our journey is no longer just a quick tour, but a deep experience of the local history and culture. I will continue to pay attention~~

Is it basically a free guide for every city? Can it detect where you’re at and give you a tour of the place you’re at using AI. That would seem pretty cool. Anyways, congrats on the launch!

@benjamin_sloutsky Hey Benjamin, right now it can detect your GPS location and show you interesting points with stories on the map. It can be possible way for future to join points into complete city guide. Also idea of sending you notification if you are near certain stories is nice.
