What is PinPoint?
PinPoint is an AI-powered discovery platform that transforms how you save and explore places from social media. By capturing place mentions from Instagram and TikTok, it automatically builds personalized maps and collections of restaurants, hidden gems, and travel destinations. The app preserves the original context from posts and stories, so you never lose the important tips like "get the pistachio croissant" or "go at sunset."
With an interactive map view, users can filter saved spots by distance or category, making trip planning effortless.
