About

Pinsteps is an AI-driven travel and social ecosystem that transforms raw human experiences into personalized journeys. Registered in the USA and Israel, Pinsteps bridges the gap between travellers (B2C), service providers (B2B), and government entities (B2G). Human-Centric AI & Data Moat Our platform is powered by a unique "Temporal Intelligence" engine. The proprietary database contains over 13 million raw GPS points, 146k+ authentic photos, and 8.9 million characters of original human storytelling in 12 languages. Unlike generic AI tools, Pinsteps uses a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture to provide hallucination-free recommendations based strictly on verified professional content. By analyzing "Dwell Time" (avg. 1,461s per location), our AI builds realistic, human-centric itineraries. Social Impact & Economic Tools Pinsteps drives local economic growth through its unique Public-Private Partnership (PPP) module. This allows municipalities to subsidize tourist experiences and direct foot traffic to local businesses. Our low-barrier QR-code system enables small shops and cafes to join the digital economy with zero hardware investment, using only a smartphone to validate vouchers. Market Traction B2G Leadership: Ongoing municipal contracts in Haifa, Rishon LeZion, and Petah Tikva. Strategic Partners: Official White Label provider for Masa Israel and automotive integration with Ford Motor Company. Global Scope: 50,000+ professional milestones across 53 countries. Pinsteps is a socially responsible infrastructure that empowers local communities while providing travellers with authentic, data-backed experiences.
