Hi HN,

I'm Ozan, the developer behind MonumentAI.

I built this app because I enjoy traveling but find traditional audio guides and plaques incredibly boring. They usually focus on dates and architectural styles, skipping the interesting human stories—the scandals, exiles, and secrets.

I wanted a "Shazam for Buildings" that feels like a local friend whispering the gossip in your ear, rather than a history textbook.

How it works: 1. You take a photo of a landmark. 2. The app identifies the location using Google Gemini's vision capabilities. 3. It generates a short, engaging story focused on the "gossip" or hidden history (also via Gemini).

It's currently an iOS app built with SwiftUI.

The app is free to download (with a paid tier for unlimited scans), but you can try the core functionality without paying.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the UX and the quality of the stories.

Thanks!
