BuYu 步语 — Walk the Story of a City

An AI walking companion that turns Nanjing's streets into a talking, personalized guided tour

会说话的历史现场 — BuYu pairs curator-verified local knowledge with real-time voice interaction, so a walk through the city becomes a living, personal narration instead of a static map route.

What Makes It Different

01

Curator-Verified Knowledge

Narrations are grounded in verified local history and culture, not free-form model generation — the guide tells stories that hold up.

02

Real-Time Voice

Speech-to-speech interaction while walking: ask about what's in front of you and get an answer without breaking stride.

03

Every Walk Is Different

Routes adapt to mood, time, and companions; the same street yields a different narration each visit.

04

From Walk to Memory

Discoveries and thoughts along the way are auto-composed into a shareable illustrated walking journal (Plog).
