About Audiala

Data sources.

The public knowledge bases, partners and services behind Audiala's guides, weather, photos and tickets, with their licences and credits.

Audiala combines content from public knowledge bases, licensed partners and our own research. This page lists them, what we use them for, and the credit each one asks for. It mirrors the Data Sources screen in the Audiala app. How we research, write and check guides is on our editorial process page.

Guides and places

  • Wikipedia and Wikidata — the factual foundation of our guides: dates, coordinates, classifications and context. Wikipedia text is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0; Wikidata under CC0.
  • Heritage registers — UNESCO, Mérimée, Bundesdenkmalamt, NPÚ, English Heritage, Cadw, SIPA and Vincoli in Rete, cross-checked for dates, listings and historical significance.
  • Wikimedia Commons — place photos, credited on each photo under the licence chosen by its author.
  • Google Places — nearby food suggestions and fallback place photos, subject to the Google Maps Platform Terms.

Narration

Guide text is drafted with large language models from the structured research above and checked by automated fact-check gates, then voiced with text-to-speech models. Details: editorial process.

Weather

  • MET Norway — weather forecasts in both mobile apps and in Audiala's chat: daily forecasts for your trips and the Today brief, current conditions in the Android app, and the forecast data the assistant summarises. Audiala's server fetches them from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, licensed under NLOD 2.0 and CC BY 4.0. Data from MET Norway – licence.
  • Apple Weather — minute-precision precipitation nowcasts on the Today brief in the iOS app, where available (Apple Weather data sources and legal attribution).
  • Tomorrow.io, Google Weather and WeatherAPI.com — when no nowcast is available for your area, Audiala's server asks one of these services for one, sending only an approximate location.

Tickets and tours

  • Tiqets and Viator — tickets and tours where available. Prices, availability and inventory come from the partner.

Voice input

  • Deepgram — speech-to-text for voice search and chat dictation.
