› Why Matzu
Not a narrator. A local expert in your pocket.
Matzu knows where to go, where to eat, what’s on, and the stories behind it all — and it just talks to you.
“I’m hungry — find me a spot.”
Ask for food and Matzu recommends a place nearby, then opens the booking site so you can grab a table.
History & deep local knowledge.
Historical sites, the stories behind them, and the context that turns a building into a place you remember.
Themed tours for your obsession.
A cocktail crawl. A Chainsaw Man anime tour of Tokyo. Tell Matzu your obsession and get a tour built for it.
“What’s on this weekend?”
Matzu knows local events — “What’s on in Berlin this weekend?” — and works them into your day.
It sends you the links.
Tickets, bookings, websites — Matzu drops the links right in the chat. Intuitive enough to just talk to.

It actually answered my dumb questions about a fountain. Felt like walking with a clever friend.

I said I was hungry and it sent me a spot two minutes away — with a booking link. Booked, done.

Hands stayed in my pockets, eyes stayed on the street. That’s the whole point.
› FAQ
Good questions.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you a wall of text you have to scroll back through. Matzu gives you a fixed itinerary of waypoint cards you can reorder, revisit, and that remember what you’ve already done — plus a live, location-aware guide that narrates the right story at the right spot, hands-free.
Already planned with ChatGPT?
Paste it into Matzu and it builds you a map and waypoint cards with full details — turning a chat transcript into a real, walkable day.
Which languages does Matzu speak?
Matzu currently supports English, German, Italian, French and Spanish. Talk to it in any of those five and it answers in kind.
Do I need a connection?
Yes — Matzu is live, so it needs data or wifi to listen, plan and respond in real time as you walk.
What does it cost?
Start free with 30 minutes. After that, top up only what you use — minutes never expire. Tiers start at 20 min for $1.99.
