Here is how Rostock.ai can help you discover places, shape a plan and make more of your stay. A conversation starts an idea · Illustration Explore step by step 01 / 06 ## Start with a question An afternoon in Rostock? A rainy day with children? Ask in your own words, in German or English. Rostock.ai helps you explore the possibilities without starting with a long list of searches. ## Make it personal Your interests, starting point and available time make a difference. Share what matters to you and refine your ideas as you go. You can choose a starting place without sharing your device location. ## Discover local places Explore places and ideas around Rostock and Warnemünde. Use the suggestions as a starting point for your own discoveries, and check important details such as opening hours before you go. ## From city guide to hotel concierge For participating hotel experiences, a QR code opens a digital concierge. Guests can ask about their stay and find inspiration for exploring the city beyond the hotel. ## People and places, connected Local businesses can present information through their own profiles. The aim is to make useful local knowledge easier to find. Public listings do not automatically mean a business is a partner. ## A project you can help shape Rostock.ai is in private preview, with features still being refined. Contact us for a demonstration or to discuss a use case. Live bookings and payments are not currently available through the guide. Agentic AI, with a practical purpose ## Beyond an answer. Towards a useful next step. Rostock.ai includes agentic capabilities: in supported experiences, it can work through a request over several steps, rather than only reply with text. The independent cruise prototype explores this through planning and the preparation of demo booking requests. ### Keep the goal in view Interests, a starting point and available time can give a conversation direction. A follow-up question can refine the same idea instead of beginning again. ### Connect the experience City discovery, hotel information and travel planning are brought together in one project. The value is in making those experiences useful together, not simply adding another chat window. ### Prepare a next step Supported prototype experiences can help shape a plan or record a demo booking request. This is assistance within a defined experience, not permission to make purchases or act without limits. Capabilities differ between the city guide, hotel experience and cruise prototype. Real reservations, payments and unrestricted autonomous actions are not currently offered. A more useful conversation ## Three details that help you get started. Share only what is relevant to your plans. A simple request is enough to begin; you can add or change details along the way. ### Where you want to begin Name an address, a landmark or a starting place. Sharing device location is optional; choosing a place yourself is a valid starting point. ### How you want to spend the time Mention a relaxed walk, family time, food, culture or another interest. Tell the guide if you prefer fewer stops or a shorter outing. ### What needs a little extra care If opening hours, access, transport or a return time are important, check the relevant official information before committing to a plan. AI suggestions can be incomplete or outdated. An example, not a live answer ## An idea can become clearer, one question at a time. The conversation now has a starting point, a pace and an interest. You can keep refining the idea instead of starting a new search each time. I have a free afternoon in Rostock. Where would you like to start, and would you prefer a walk, culture or something to eat? Start at Neuer Markt. A relaxed walk with a café stop sounds good. Everyday situations ## Start with a question that sounds like you. You do not need a perfect itinerary before you begin. A little context can turn a broad question into a more useful conversation. ### A few hours in the city A starting point, a time window and a preferred pace give the conversation a clear direction. Ask for a shorter option or add a coffee break as you go. ### Arriving at your hotel In a hotel concierge experience, guests can move from practical questions about their stay to ideas for the surrounding city. Available answers depend on the hotel information provided. ### Planning time ashore The cruise demonstration explores how interests and limited shore time can shape a plan. Guests still need to follow the confirmed schedule and guidance from their cruise operator. Illustrative questions, not live availability or confirmed itineraries. More discovery. More local possibilities. ## Help people find the places that make a city. A local café, a small shop or a cultural venue may be relevant to a visitor who does not yet know its name. Rostock.ai could help bridge that gap by making useful local information easier to discover in the context of a person’s plans. ### Discovery beyond a familiar name Questions about interests, location or the time available can introduce visitors to places they might not have searched for directly. This creates an opportunity for local businesses to be considered. ### Useful information at the right moment Clear profiles can help people understand what a business offers and whether it fits their visit. Keeping information accurate matters more than promising a guaranteed recommendation. ### A closer link between guests and the city A hotel stay or shore visit can become the starting point for exploring nearby food, culture and independent businesses. German and English conversations can make that information more approachable. A possible local connection A guest asks for a relaxed walk with a café stop. Relevant local information could help them discover a nearby independent café as part of that plan, rather than only choosing a place they already know. These are potential benefits, not measured economic results. Discovery does not guarantee visits, sales or a recommendation, and a public listing does not imply a partnership. The current stage ## Explore the idea with a clear view of its scope. ### In private preview City conversations, planning experiences, hotel and business account areas, and an independent cruise demonstration are part of the project being developed. A demonstration is the best way to see the current experience. ### Still to be explored Live reservations, payments, official city deployments and formal cruise partnerships are not presented as existing services. These would be separate future steps, shaped by real needs and suitable partners. Webapp & AI hosted in Germany ## Built for local needs. Hosted in Germany. Both the Rostock.ai webapp and its AI are hosted in Germany. A local focus also shapes the experience: German and English conversations, practical city information and clear distinctions between public listings, demonstrations and participating businesses.
