Kogo, a recently launched platform has come our with an Artifical Intelligence powered app and a sensor rich bot which records where you go and converts it into unique travel stories that can be easily edited, shared and discovered anytime, anywhere.
Kogo is created and founded by serial entrepreneurs Raj K Gopalakrishnan and Praveer Kochhar.
Considered to be a new frontier in storytelling, Kogo is data wrapped in emotion making for great travelogues to share with fellow adventurers who can plan trips conveniently via user recommendations on the app. It allows the users to discover amazing places and connect with other passionate travellers.
The Kogo device is a small gadget that has a dedicated GPS and multiple sensors to map out the journey of the traveller. The app takes the data captured by the device and uses artificial intelligence to automatically create stories as the person travels.
The automated content can be viewed as blogs, maps, cards or videos and can be edited and shared across multiple platforms.
Kogo is also gamifying the entire travel experience, by planting rewards along popular routes to offer special deals and incentives via partner brands including discounts on hotels, petrol, food, events and experiences.
The Kogo is small enough to be kept anywhere while travelling. Mount it on a bike or car or chuck it into your backpack. The KOGO has got unmatched accuracy, 7 days of battery with heavy usage, and up to 10 days of data even when there is no network.
The app is designed to automate. It takes the continuous data captured by the KOGO and uses AI to automatically write amazing stories as you travel, live. Now everybody who does a road trip can auto create and share their stories with ease, making discovery faster than ever before.
The KogoBOT is available at an introductory price of Rs 7,749. This comes bundled with a sim card for the device and data for a year. The team at Kogo is also bundling the app at the moment, which will be priced at Rs 1,300 from the second year onwards.
