While traversing the US in my van, I often stopped at historical markers hoping to uncover fascinating stories and history. More often than not, I was met with dry or uninteresting content, leaving me searching for something more engaging. That led me to build ExploreHere - An audio storytelling app that tells you interesting stories about where you are.<p>On the technical side, we aggregate thousands of POI’s, historical markers, native lands, cities, interpretive signs, etc, and pass that into an AI pipeline to get rich and unique stories that are location specific. The end result; you can take a roadtrip and listen to interesting stories as you drive. We pre-populated the US with over 5,200 stories, but you can also generate your own, within the app.<p>My co-founder and I just got it approved into the app store and are looking for feedback on the story quality and the application as a whole!<p>Here’s a quick example of one of the stories that you’d hear as you pass into Yellowstone National Park:
