Wrinkles是一款新推出的人工智能应用,通过用户所在位置自动呈现周围地点的历史故事与本地信息,功能类似于AI语音导览员[1]。该应用由广告业高管David Stemler和连续创业者Ryan Hansan联合创办[1]。
应用已在全球177个国家建立了130万个兴趣点的基础内容库[1],在iOS和Android平台均可使用[1]。Wrinkles采取双层商业模式:向普通用户免费提供服务[1],而博物馆、旅游局等机构可通过创建体验、赞助指南及交易分成等方式付费[1]。创始人将应用的核心定位表述为"好奇心而非旅行"[1]。
Wrinkles, a newly launched artificial intelligence application, automatically presents historical narratives and local information about nearby locations based on user position [1]. The app functions similarly to an AI-powered audio tour guide, allowing users to discover contextual stories about the places around them [1].
The application was co-founded by David Stemler, an advertising industry executive, and Ryan Hansan, a serial entrepreneur [1]. Wrinkles has already established a foundational content library spanning 177 countries and covering 1.3 million points of interest [1]. Available on both iOS and Android platforms, the app operates on a freemium model where individual users access the service at no cost [1].
The company's revenue strategy centers on institutional partnerships and transactions [1]. Museums, tourism boards, and similar organizations can pay to create custom experiences, sponsor guided tours, and participate in revenue-sharing arrangements [1]. According to the founders, the core appeal of Wrinkles transcends traditional travel—the unifying principle is curiosity [1].
