Audiala is an AI travel companion that plans your city trip and guides you on the ground with sourced audio stories, for independent travelers who want to understand the places they visit.
A trip you paid thousands for shouldn't slip through your fingers because the apps are dumb and the information is scattered. Audiala is with you across the trip — at your laptop while you plan, on your phone while you walk, and inside the AI tools you already talk to.
Audiala runs on the web, iOS and Android, and inside the AI assistants you already use.
Audiala has published more than 43,800 guides to cities, monuments and neighbourhoods in 107 countries. Each guide is built from cited sources and can be listened to as narrated audio. You get the story behind the place, not a list of star ratings.
Tell Audiala where you are going, for how long and what you care about, and it builds a day-by-day plan you can edit. Plans follow you from the laptop where you prepare to the phone you carry on the trip.
Ask follow-up questions while you plan or while you stand in front of the building: when it was built, what's open nearby, where to eat after. The answers come from Audiala's sourced travel library, not just from a general-purpose model.
The mobile app knows where you are and brings up the next story worth hearing. Download a city in advance and its maps and audio keep working without a signal.
Audiala publishes a free Model Context Protocol server and an llms.txt, so ChatGPT, Claude and other agents can pull Audiala guides into their answers.
Tripadvisor ranks places by crowd reviews, which tells you what's popular but not why a place matters. Audiala guides are built from Wikidata, Wikipedia and official tourism sources. Each guide lists its sources and passes fact-check gates before publication.
Tour marketplaces like GetYourGuide sell individual tours and tickets. Audio-tour apps like VoiceMap and GPSmyCity sell fixed walking routes. Audiala covers the whole trip in one place: the plan, the stories on the ground, and a chat for everything in between.
Pre-recorded audio guides such as SmartGuide and izi.TRAVEL play the same script for everyone. With Audiala you can interrupt, ask for more detail or change direction, and the companion answers from the same sourced library.
You can start free, buy a single pass for one trip, subscribe monthly or yearly, or pay once for lifetime access. There is no long-term contract, and prices are adapted to each country.
Most travel apps only work inside their own app. Audiala also works from ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants through its public MCP server, so the same trusted travel content is there wherever you ask.
Audiala was founded in 2023 by Guillaume Pernelle, a repeat founder. He was previously co-founder and CTO of Magic Carpet AI, a London deep-tech company building reinforcement-learning investment strategies, which Blockchain.com acquired in 2021. He started Audiala after seeing how much of an expensive trip gets lost to scattered information, and how little of a place's history travelers bring home. Read the full story.
Guillaume works with a small network of trusted collaborators in engineering, content and design. Audiala Solutions SA is based in Morges, Switzerland, on Lake Geneva between Lausanne and Geneva. Follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.
Yes, Audiala has a free tier, so you can explore guides and try the app without paying. Paid options unlock more cities and features: single passes, monthly or annual subscriptions, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices vary by country.
They are AI-assisted. Each guide starts from structured research (Wikidata, Wikipedia, official tourism sources), is drafted by language models under strict editorial rules, and passes automated fact-check gates before publication. Our editorial process explains how doubtful claims reach a human editor.
Yes. Download a city before you leave and its maps and audio work without a signal. This matters most in old town centres, underground sites and abroad without a data plan.
A general assistant gives plausible answers but doesn't know what's around you or guide you as you walk. Audiala answers from a sourced travel library, follows your location, and keeps your plan and stories with you on your phone. You can also use Audiala from inside ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants through our MCP server.
Tripadvisor helps you choose where to go by ranking places with crowd reviews. Audiala helps you understand a place once you are there, with sourced stories, a planned route and answers to your questions.
