The Origin
Tour guides should not feel like textbooks
We've all been there: pre-recorded audio tracks that drone on about dates you'll forget. Apps that force you to stare at your phone instead of the architecture in front of you.
Walking through a city should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. Exploration should adapt to your curiosity, not a rigid playlist.
So we built citypal — an AI that listens as much as it speaks, learns what fascinates you, and responds to the world in real time.
But it is more than a guide — it is a platform for preserving place history. We work with locals to maintain their stories, connect travelers to communities, and build bridges between people and places that last beyond a single visit.
Our promise: technology that increases awareness, not abstraction. An AI that brings you closer to the world, not further from it.
The Difference
Most tour apps simulate intelligence. citypal amplifies yours.
Pre-recorded scripts
Listen to the same narration as everyone else, whether you care about Renaissance art or industrial history.
Fixed routes
Walk exactly where the app tells you. Deviate and you lose the thread.
Screen-dependent
Stare at your phone to know where to go, what to see, what to think.
One-way broadcast
The app talks. You listen. No questions, no adaptation, no personality.
✓Living conversation
Ask questions. Change direction. Dive deeper into whatever fascinates you—citypal adapts in real time.
✓Adaptive routing
Wander freely. citypal knows where you are and what you are seeing, no matter where you go.
✓Audio-first design
Phone in your pocket. Eyes on the architecture. Ears tuned to stories that matter.
✓Two-way dialogue
citypal listens as much as it speaks. It learns your interests and tailors every story to you.
Every other app gives you information.
citypal gives you conversation.
What We Stand For
The principles that guide everything we build.
Audio-First
Your phone stays in your pocket. Your eyes stay on the world. Technology should enhance presence, not distract from it.
Built with Locals
We work with historians, communities, and cultural experts. Real stories from real people, not Wikipedia summaries.
Platform for Places
We preserve history, connect travelers to communities, and build bridges that last beyond a single visit.
Contextual Intelligence
AI that understands where you are, what you are looking at, and what fascinates you—in real time.
Natural Conversation
Ask questions, change direction, dive deeper. citypal adapts to your curiosity, not a fixed script.
Awareness over Abstraction
We use AI to bring you closer to the world, not further from it. Technology as a bridge, not a barrier.
