Inspiration

We love exploring new places but often felt overwhelmed by planning or underwhelmed by generic walking routes. We wanted a way to discover the hidden gems of a city in a way that felt personal, purposeful, and delightfully simple. Wanderly was born to make everyday walks feel like adventures curated just for you.

What it does

Wanderly creates personalized walking routes based on your location, interests, and desired duration. It also generates an immersive digital audio tour to accompany you, sharing stories, history, and fun facts about the sights you pass.

How we built it

  • Bolt, Gemini, ElevenLabs

Challenges we ran into

  • Auth issues
  • Credit limitation with elevenlabs

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Generating a full end-to-end walking experience with personalized narration in under a minute
  • Seamless UX that makes exploration feel effortless and magical
  • Seeing users rediscover familiar neighborhoods through a fresh lens

What we learned

  • You can build something decent even when you procrastinate

What's next for Wanderly

  • Add maps to show route
  • Add offline mode for travelers with limited data
  • Include community-created routes and voices
  • Partner with local historians and creators to enrich content
  • Expand beyond walking: Wanderly for biking, transit, and even indoor museums
