Overview

Karpo is a proactive AI city sidekick that helps people discover better local experiences, from restaurants and bars to events, hidden gems, and weekend plans, based on their location, taste, and schedule.

Just ask where to have dinner, what's worth seeing this weekend, or which vintage shop to check out — like you would a friend with good taste.

Besides finding local gems, Karpo could also grab tickets, book travels, and help with life admin.

Karpo knows New York City, San Francisco, and London the best. But friends from other cities have told us they loved Karpo's picks too!
