Perfect for discovering hidden gems wherever you are. Try Chiaro on your next city walk.

Today I'm launching Chiaro AI. Chiaro turns your phone into a personal tour guide. Point your camera at any object—a monument, a painting, a building. Chiaro will tell you what it is, reveal hidden details, and suggest interesting places nearby. As text or as an audio guide. Chiaro recognizes art, architecture, and cultural artifacts better and more accurately than ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I love to travel, discover unexpected places and hidden gems. Chiaro turns your phone into a local friend-guide, wherever you are. The idea was born many years ago during a trip to Italy, which is why I chose the Italian name Chiaro, meaning "clear" in Italian. Chiaro brings clarity to what you see. I was solving my own problem, and I love using my product in cities. I vibecoded it from scratch, without developers. Not over a weekend and not with a single prompt, but through a long and persistent path of trial and error. I would be infinitely grateful for your feedback from testing my app on the streets and in the museums of your city. Or simply for sharing this post with your traveler friends. Try Chiaro today.
