Touwrist - AI Tour Guide

This app offers nearby points of interest and gives interesting information, such as history, about the locations. I found it very useful to learn about a new place that I moved to. This reduces the pain point of having to go into ChatGPT and craft a prompt over and over when you are just trying to learn about the places nearby. I highly recommend this app to consumers and I can’t wait to see future developments.

It’s a neat idea but seems to basically be a front end for “ChatGPT: give me a random tourist spot in this location”. The results take several seconds to get, sometimes repeat, and you can only get one at a time so if you’re looking for a list of possible things to do in a new place, you’ll spend a significant amount of time trying to find something if you don’t like the first few suggestions. I gave it a try, it’s nicely designed, but the slow response and lack of lists of things to explore make it more of a curiosity than something I could really use when traveling.
