WayTold

Bring your own AI. We'll bring the stories.

WayTold is an iPhone travel guide. Plan the trip with your favourite AI, then walk it with offline maps and a story waiting at every stop.

Private testing on iPhone now. Android coming soon.

Before you go

Plan with your favourite AI

Connect the AI you already talk to and plan out loud: three slow days in Florence, not too many churches. It adds the places to your trip, puts each one on a day and marks the must-sees. Change your mind on the train and it changes the plan.

Your AI can read and change your trip. It never sees where you are. Rather tap than chat? Every part of the plan works by hand too.

A trip called Autumn in Italy: today is the last day in Florence, then Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Venice and Ljubljana, each with its must-see count.

On the street

Walk it, even offline

Download a town before you go and its streets, stories, photos and narration come with it. Roaming off, signal gone: the map still shows today's places and where you are.

Directions to the next stop need a signal; the map, stories and narration don't.

At every stop

Press play and look up

Each stop has a few minutes on what is in front of you, the town around it and the country beyond. Put the phone in your pocket and listen, or read along.

Stories are written for the place you are standing in, not generated on the spot.

Questions

When can I use it?

A small group is testing on iPhone now. Waitlist members are invited in order, starting with the public beta.

Which AI can I use?

Any AI app that can connect to outside tools, such as Claude. You add WayTold once, sign in, and from then on you can plan by chatting. We will send the steps with your invite.

Do I need an AI at all?

No. You can plan on the phone: tap a place, mark it a must see, pick a day. The AI is there for when chatting is easier than tapping.

Where does it work?

Italy and Slovenia. Tell us where you are headed in the waitlist form.

Android?

Coming soon. Sign up and mention Android in the note so we know how many of you there are.

What will it cost?

Undecided. The beta is free.

Is the narration AI?

The stories are researched, written and checked ahead of time, then narrated with an AI voice. Nothing is made up while you stand there.

Who makes it?

WayTold is made by Forged, a small independent studio. We developed it while travelling in Italy and Slovenia, around what we actually needed and wanted on the road.
