About Aneddo
Aneddo is an AI audio guide for Rome. You keep your phone in your pocket with one earbud in. When you walk past something worth knowing, Aneddo asks whether you want the story, tells it, and answers your questions out loud.

How it works
- Phone in your pocket. Aneddo runs in the background.
- One earbud in. That's where Aneddo lives.
- Aneddo taps you. Only near something worth it.
- Talk it through. Ask back. It asks you too.
What makes it different
- Hands-free. No screen to look at. Aneddo talks in your earbuds while you walk.
- Asks before it talks. It offers the story and waits for a yes. Not interested? It moves on.
- A conversation, not a recording. Interrupt it and ask questions. It answers and picks up where it left off.
- Only where it's worth it. It wakes up near places with a good story, not on every corner.
Who it's for
- Visitors exploring Rome on foot, alone or as a couple, who want to understand what they're looking at.
- People who live in Rome and want the stories behind the streets they walk every day.
- Film fans looking for the places where movies were shot in Rome.
