For those new to Touring - a little backstory: In November 2023, we launched the initial concept for Touring here on Product Hunt, reaching 2nd Product of the Day. The overwhelming response from this community motivated us to dedicate several months to creating a powerful product for the modern traveler. With continuous testing and iterations involving over 1,000 early adopters, we are now ready to take the next step in our journey! 🎉 Today, we are excited to release Touring for both iOS and Android. Download it now and add it to your to-do list for your next trip! In short, what does Touring do? ✍️ Touring scans your surroundings and creates insightful, immersive stories in seconds, thanks to a highly optimized pipeline we’ve been refining for months. This ensures that you receive accurate, engaging, and up-to-date content wherever you are. 🎧 You can read or listen to these stories, and we currently support 30+ languages! Exciting Features on the Horizon Our roadmap includes many more features set to be released in the coming months. Here a few examples of what we're working on as we speak: • On-demand Search: Discover what lies beyond with ease, and plan your next stop. • Curated Explorations: Embark on journeys crafted just for you. • Interactive Chat: Chat with Touring to ask follow-up questions or other queries about the places. • Hands-free Mode: Navigate and learn about your surroundings effortlessly. 🦫 P.S. many of you asked us about our mascot, the capybara. We could go on and on about the reasons why a capybara is the perfect mascot for Touring, but the ultimate explanation is also the simplest: the Touring team finds them incredibly cute. 🔔🔔 Where will you try Touring? Comment on this launch with the first place that comes to mind when thinking about trying Touring! We're super curious to hear about all your explorations! ----------- A personal note: I am so grateful for the support we've been receiving from this community. Since the launch in November23, I got in contact with several people who actively helped us evolve Touring. This would not have been possible without you. I sincerely hope Touring will make you create better memories of the places you travel to, and that it will become the app you know you can rely on, no matter where you're going. We ourselves love to travel and find out all the interesting stories hiding behind the buildings and hidden gems of the beautiful places this world has to offer. I hope you enjoy! And please do comment with any feedback! 🙏

@julia_zakharova2 Uhhh, nice! Curious to see what Touring will craft for your when you're there! 💪

@gabriele_mazzola congratulations 🎉 on launching 💥💥

@avinashvagh1 Thanks!!

This app sounds fantastic for spontaneous travelers! What inspired you to incorporate the different LLMs like gemma, llama, and mixtral in the story generation pipeline, @gabriele_mazzola?

@laocool Mostly different requirements in terms of the latency that they introduce. Also, we experimented a lot with different models and different prompts, and some of them were outputting - in our opinion - better output for some parts of the pipeline, but worse in others. So that's why we ended up using different ones. I'd say, if openai made gpt4o 10x faster, let's say, we could probably build the whole LLM pipeline on that, and adapt the prompts to it. But right now, that would mean making users wait minutes to enjoy a story.

Hey @gabriele_mazzola congratulations on your launch! This app looks great- definitely something I'll use the next time I travel 🤙

@swarna_hebb Hey thank you so much!! Looking forward to hearing how you found it then!

@gabriele_mazzola will keep you posted!

It is super useful for somebody who are really like touring like a local, yes i am this kind of person lol. It feels I'm traveling alone but I'm accompanied.

For me, it only really feels like a vacation and then experiencing and getting to know the country when I really feel like a local. Touring supports that, so for me it's a win-win app :-) I think the simulator is particularly cool!👌

The simulator on the site is great. Initially I hesitated about needing something like Touring but after trying the simulator it changed my mind so I signed up. I know it's still in beta, but it will be mindblowing if Touring can accommodate a family of travelers where they all get synchronised guidance.

Hey Jonni, thank you so much for the review! We're glad you enjoyed playing around with the simulator and that it sparked your interest in the experience Touring can provide! That's exactly why we built it 🎉🎉
