## What is HereFact?

HereFact turns every street corner into a story.

Landing in Edinburgh for the Fringe? HereFact has deep coverage of Scotland — from the Royal Mile's darkest secrets to Glasgow's hidden art scene — so festival downtime becomes its own kind of discovery.

Wherever you are, HereFact uses AI to uncover the history, architecture, culture, and hidden secrets of the places around you — turning an ordinary walk into a journey of discovery.

NEARBY — Walk anywhere and tap to reveal AI-written stories about the buildings, streets, and landmarks around you — the history no plaque tells you.

FAR AWAY — Curious about a city you're not in yet? Explore a curated map of its best stories before you ever set foot there — perfect for trip planning.

SIGNATURE TRAILS — Hand-picked walking tours through the most fascinating corners of Edinburgh and Glasgow — body snatchers, royal secrets, literary legends, and more.

YOUR OWN AI-GUIDED TOUR — Tell HereFact what you're curious about — dark history, architecture, nature — and it builds a custom walking tour just for you, complete with a narrated story at every stop.

LISTEN AS YOU WALK — Turn on voice narration and HereFact reads each story aloud the moment you arrive — hands-free, eyes-up, fully present in the place you're standing.

YOUR JOURNAL — Save every story you love and build a personal record of everywhere you've explored.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE — HereFact speaks English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic.

HereFact is free to start exploring, with optional day, city, and monthly passes for unlimited stories, tours, and narration.
