Your book search now opens a journey straight away
When you search a book on mystoryland.ai, we now choose the most likely region and start putting together one journey from it straight away. You can change the region at any time.
When you search a book on mystoryland.ai, we now choose the most likely region and start putting together one journey from it straight away. You can change the region at any time.
Before, you searched for a book and reached a page listing its regions, so you had to choose one before you could see a journey. The result came after that choice. A book’s places can be scattered across the world, and we asked you which part you wanted first.
Many people told me the page between the search and the result confused them. They didn’t know what to do next.
Now you see a short progress list while your journey is being put together, and that usually takes 20–30 seconds. You don’t have to wait to change the region. You can choose another while the journey is being put together or after it opens.
You can try Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, and the first journey that opens is “Italy - Rome & Naples”. Look below it for “Other journeys from this book”. You’ll find Ubud, Indonesia and Pataudi, India there, along with places in the USA. Each has a “Compose this journey” button.
