Triptalk

Triptalk transforms ordinary journeys into captivating historical experiences through an AI-powered audio guide that plays automatic podcasts when you cross a point of interest. This was my first app and an early study project from university at HTW Berlin, where I created a system that automatically converts Wikipedia content into engaging podcasts with summaries and interviews. The project was nominated for the UX Design Award 2021. The technical backbone combines VueJS and CapacitorJS (web technologies for creating native apps) for the frontend, bundled into a native app. I built a custom Python backend with my own library called "topcast" that generates podcasts from prompts like Wikipedia articles. The system, which emerged in the pre-ChatGPT era and required custom transformers for text generation, handles the complex process of summarizing texts, generating interview formats, converting text to speech, and producing the final podcast output.
