Wrinkles turns location data into an interactive audio history

Wrinkles turns location data into an interactive audio history

Developed by longtime friends David Stemler and Ryan Hansan, the application functions as an AI-powered guide that reveals local lore, architectural history, and hidden secrets. Currently available on iOS and Android, it tracks a user's location to deliver information without requiring constant interaction with a device. The startup has already mapped 1.3 million points of interest across 177 countries, allowing users to explore content in real-time or via remote browsing.

The platform extends beyond passive listening by incorporating interactive features that allow users to ask follow-up questions about specific landmarks. Beyond professional content from historians and museums, the app encourages personal archiving; individuals can attach photos, videos, and family memories to specific coordinates, effectively turning local geography into a repository for private histories. While the app is free for travelers and commuters, the company generates revenue by providing a white-label infrastructure for businesses, tourism boards, and universities to host their own location-based experiences and booking services.
