Meet Wrinkles, an AI app that uncovers the hidden stories of the places around you
Wrinkles is trying to turn location into an audio layer for history, memories, and paid local experiences.
The app uses a map of 1.3 million points of interest across 177 countries to surface place-based stories as users move around. It also lets museums, creators, brands, and families add their own guides, memories, photos, videos, and recordings to specific locations. The founders say they want it used beyond travel, including commutes, hometown exploring, campuses, zoos, and family history. Wrinkles is free for users, with revenue aimed at partners that build location-based experiences, sponsored guides, promotions, and booking links. TechCrunch AI's note
