Hey Product Hunt 👋
We’re the Wanderboat team — ex-Bing Chat builders (anyone miss it?).
The problem:
Living in the moment is great, but finding places shouldn’t feel like a chore. Right now it’s overwhelming content, unverified info, endless back-and-forth… you get the idea.
What we built:
Instead of drowning in tabs or skimming generic AI summaries, we created Wanderboat. It combines our POI search engine, multi-step Thinking Agent, and Vision Understanding model to see the world the way you do. No walls of text (promise) — just curated feeds + a map that surface the best dining, shows, attractions, hotels, and experiences wherever you are.
🍽 Eats, events, attractions, hotels, experiences — all in one place
🤖 AI recs, grounded in real photos & videos from real people
🗺 Chat-based feeds + immersive maps for planning and discovery
⚡ Personalized picks in seconds, tuned to your taste
Why we built it:
“You’re unique.” So your “best” answer should be too. Wanderboat learns your taste, instead of handing you someone else’s.
“Show me, don’t tell me.” Discovery should be visual — see why a spot’s special before you go.
“Ask how you talk.” Maps don’t handle natural search well (“best late-night dessert spot with live music”), but that’s how we actually ask.
Think the way you think. See what you see. All powered by data we self-indexed — that’s Wanderboat.
We’d love your thoughts, ideas, and hidden gems to make it better. Try it today and let us know what you think — every bit of feedback helps shape what’s next.
— The Wanderboat Team 🚤

@young_yes Finally, I hate looking for places, and usually settle for what I already know, or someone has told me about.

Hi Product Hunt community,
A big thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us!
Drawing on our experience building Bing and Bing Chat, we asked ourselves: Can we create a product designed to help people discover the right places and experiences for their lives?
That vision led to Wanderboat.
Wanderboat is your AI companion for life’s best discoveries all grounded in authentic, real-world experiences.
Because “the best” is personal, Wanderboat delivers tailored recommendations, explains the reasoning behind them, and presents them visually. The result: no more fragmented searches or endless tabs — just one seamless destination to find what’s truly worth your time.
We’re excited to share Wanderboat with you and would greatly value your feedback as we continue to build and improve.

Wanderboat could be the bridge between Google Maps (utility) and TikTok (discovery). Good luck!
Wanderboat AI
Thank you @abod_rehman ! We'd love to get your feedback along the way to continually improve it.
Finally! I always get lost in endless reels and posts trying to find one good bar. Having everything filtered and pinned on a map by AI feels great for exploring cities.
Wanderboat AI
@allison_p_bain Right?? That’s exactly what Wanderboat’s here for. No more endless reels — just the gems pinned on a map with UGC so you can head straight to the good bars 🍸!
Wanderboat AI
@ishwarjha Thank you for your kind words!
RightNow AI
now im hungry! who wants to eat dinner with me?
Wanderboat AI
@jaber23 Remember to search for what's opening now and your favorite cuisines. Enjoy!
Congrats on the big launch!
This solves such a real problem—I can’t count how many nights I’ve wasted scrolling instead of actually going out.
How are you thinking about personalization ?
Wanderboat AI
@jason123 Thanks so much, Jason! 🙌 That endless scrolling pain is exactly what pushed us to build Wanderboat. For personalization, we’re starting with multi-step query understanding, signals from social + local trends, and layering in user preferences. The goal is that over time Wanderboat feels less like a search engine and more like a friend who just knows what you’d love to do next. 💫

Congrats on the launch!
Do you plan to include other type of events?
Wanderboat AI
@byalexai Thanks Aleksandar! Based on your location, we're including all types of events — from live music and sports to workshops, magic shows, and more. The goal is to make Wanderboat your go-to map for everything happening around you. 🎉 This feature is currently being tested in most major cities.
Love the visual-first approach—seeing real videos instead of generic summaries saves so much time. Excited to explore with this.
Wanderboat AI
@cyrusandrew Thank you! 🙌 We share the same pain and real videos just bring places to life way faster. Can’t wait for you to dive in and explore with Wanderboat! 🚀
Congrats on your launch 🎉🎉
Very useful tool ❤
Wanderboat AI
@chape Thank you so much! Really glad you find it useful — that’s exactly what we’re hoping for, to make going out easier and more fun ❤
Congratulations on the launch 🎉 🎉
Wanderboat AI
@shubham_pratap Thank you so much! 🎉 Really appreciate the support — it means a lot to our team on launch day 🙏
Love the mix of social + local + maps. The ‘show me, don’t tell me’ principle really resonates. Do you see Wanderboat mainly as a travel tool, or do you think it will become part of people’s daily routines in their own cities?
Wanderboat AI
@ivan_saverchenko Thanks for the comment. We hope Wanderboat can start to be part of people's daily routines locally meanwhile can help travelers travel as locals when they are traveling.
Congrats on the big launch!
This solves such a real problem—I can’t count how many nights I’ve wasted scrolling instead of actually going out.
How are you thinking about personalization ?
Wanderboat AI
@garima_roy Thank you! The more you use it, the more it becomes personalized. Chat to it, you will feel.
Mirro
Cool agent. Hope I don't get replaced as the one picking out the restaurants 🥹
Wanderboat AI
Thank you@bogdan_ionita! No worries — Wanderboat will be a great helper for you.
Really impressive, love how you’re pairing a multi-step Thinking Agent with vision understanding to ground recs in real user visuals.
That’s the kind of production-level AI workflow that actually solves the discovery problem, not just another feed. Excited to see this scale 🙌
Wanderboat AI
@musa_molla Thank you very much for the comment! Just to add, our AI workflow is built on solid in-house search capabilities.
