From the founder:
Laika will help you discover your next adventure by recommending incredible tours based on the travel photos you like, or don't like!
How it works:
Users get a stream of beautiful travel photos from social photo sharing sites and get the option of swiping right or left – like the photo, or not. Laika is then able to predict travel destinations and activities that will be the most compelling for each individual user.
Laika is incredibly sophisticated. The team have built in Artificial Intelligence that can recognise objects within each photo, which combined with other metadata, allows the tech to know exactly what is happening in each still picture. Whether it is trekking up Everest Base Camp in a cold winter, exploring the bazaars of Zanzibar or doing a food tour in Vietnam, Laika learns exactly what each user likes.
Laika have partnered with two of the world’s most well known adventure tour operators, Intrepid Travel and G Adventures, to provide nearly 2,000 tours through the app, making Laika the largest aggregator of adventure tours in Apple’s App Store, globally.
