Stop doomscrolling for local recs! Our AI model watches millions of Instagram/TikTok videos in real-time, picks the gems, and serves up the best dining, bars & events on a map. See the best of what’s happening nearby—no more wading through endless posts!
We’re the Wanderboat team — ex-Bing Chat builders (anyone miss it?).
The problem:
Living in the moment is great, but finding places shouldn’t feel like a chore. Right now it’s overwhelming content, unverified info, endless back-and-forth… you get the idea.
What we built:
Instead of drowning in tabs or skimming generic AI summaries, we created Wanderboat. It combines our POI search engine, multi-step Thinking Agent, and Vision Understanding model to see the world the way you do. No walls of text (promise) — just curated feeds + a map that surface the best dining, shows, attractions, hotels, and experiences wherever you are.
🍽 Eats, events, attractions, hotels, experiences — all in one place
🤖 AI recs, grounded in real photos & videos from real people
🗺 Chat-based feeds + immersive maps for planning and discovery
⚡ Personalized picks in seconds, tuned to your taste
Why we built it:
“You’re unique.” So your “best” answer should be too. Wanderboat learns your taste, instead of handing you someone else’s.
“Show me, don’t tell me.” Discovery should be visual — see why a spot’s special before you go.
“Ask how you talk.” Maps don’t handle natural search well (“best late-night dessert spot with live music”), but that’s how we actually ask.
Think the way you think. See what you see. All powered by data we self-indexed — that’s Wanderboat.
We’d love your thoughts, ideas, and hidden gems to make it better. Try it today and let us know what you think — every bit of feedback helps shape what’s next.
Congrats on the launch! Really like how Wanderboat mixes AI recs, vision understanding, and chat based feeds into one clean experience. The “ask how you talk” + “show me, don’t tell me” approach makes discovery feel way more natural. Excited to see this evolve!
Stop wading through endless posts, this AI watches millions of TikToks and Instagrams in real time to surface the best local gems. Dining, bars, events all mapped and curated so you can skip the scroll and live the moment."
@jay_yue@young_yes@xccc Smart niche and congrats on the launch! Can I export do a notes / notion doc for easy reference or in app is there a place to make my own notes?
Been using wanderboat for a while, very user-friendly. As a growth manager, I must say wanderboat's SEO is top-notch. Great job to the team! Congrats on the launch!👍
It’s the first app that I can finally find high-quality restaurant recommendation by dishes. This works so much better than the existing apps!
wow! one of the best frontend I saw, ultra fast and the animations while it search are amazing!
Congrats on the Wanderboat 2.0 launch. Love how you’re turning social content into instant, useful local recs feels like the perfect mix of AI + discovery. Can’t wait to try it out next time I’m hunting for spots nearby.
Congrats on the launch, team! Indeed, a very much useful and needed, esp. when traveling.
Question: how does your “map” feature work? Have you thought of recommending a route for evening/night? E.g., start with an exhibition, then have a dinner nearby, and then go for drinks—and all based on (a) preferences (type of event, budget), and (b) proximity?
It's really cool! Great recs in my San Francisco neighborhood within seconds.
Really impressive, love how you’re pairing a multi-step Thinking Agent with vision understanding to ground recs in real user visuals. That’s the kind of production-level AI workflow that actually solves the discovery problem, not just another feed. Excited to see this scale 🙌
Cool agent. Hope I don't get replaced as the one picking out the restaurants 🥹
