Wayfinder Guide
Your personal intelligence feed
Wayfinder watches the things you care about, researches or creates on your schedule, and turns the results into a personalised feed.
Overview
How Wayfinder works
Instead of repeatedly searching the web, checking the same sites, asking the same questions, or trying to remember what changed, you create Waypoints.
A Waypoint tells Wayfinder what to keep track of or create, how to do it, and how often to do it. From there, Wayfinder does the work automatically.
- Choose what mattersDecide the subjects worth watching or creating.
- Create or follow WaypointsWrite your own, or follow a public one you discover in Explore.
- Wayfinder runs themOn your schedule, or whenever you trigger a run yourself.
- Findings appear in your FeedStructured results you can scan quickly.
- Favourite what mattersKeep the pieces worth coming back to.
- Share useful findingsTurn a finding into social content without leaving Wayfinder.
Actions you can take
From any Finding you can favourite it, comment on it, or turn it into a Social Draft. These actions are available inside the app whenever you are signed in.
Waypoints
The heart of Wayfinder
A Waypoint is an ongoing instruction you give Wayfinder. It can monitor a subject for new information, or repeatedly create something useful for you. You can make a Waypoint very broad or extremely specific.
Waypoints can be private or public. Public waypoints can be followed so you don't have to create a new waypoint if someone has already created one you want - simply follow it. If one does not exist for the purpose you want, then you'll need to create your own.
| Waypoint | What it could do |
|---|---|
| Thailand visa changes | Research changes to Thai visa rules every day |
| AI industry watch | Find important AI announcements every few hours |
| Competitor monitor | Watch competitors for product and pricing changes |
| Inspired Cooking | Create a new recipe every evening |
| Learn Something | Teach you something new each morning |
| Football watch | Follow important news about selected teams and competitions |
Two types of Waypoints
Research Waypoints — keep me informed
Search for new information and report meaningful developments: news, companies, technology, regulation, markets, sport, travel requirements, research fields, products, people and organisations.
Generative Waypoints — keep creating for me
Produce something new on a schedule rather than monitoring for changes: recipes, daily learning, writing prompts, ideas, briefings, creative content, recommendations, social content and personal inspiration.
A Research Waypoint doesn't simply dump search results into your Feed. Wayfinder researches the subject, evaluates what it finds, removes repetition, and produces structured findings about what actually matters.
Thailand visa changes
- Prompt:
- Monitor meaningful changes affecting Thailand's DTV visa, extensions, reporting requirements and entry rules.
Generative Waypoints can optionally research the web when fresh information is useful, and Wayfinder remembers recent generative outputs so a recurring Waypoint develops continuity rather than starting from scratch every time.
Inspired Cooking
- Prompt:
- Create an interesting dinner idea using commonly available ingredients. Prefer high-protein meals and avoid repeating recent dishes.
Creating a Waypoint
Tell Wayfinder what you want
You don't need to write a technical prompt. Describe what you want as though you were briefing a researcher or assistant. The clearer the objective, the better Wayfinder can decide what belongs in your Feed. Alternatively write a very simplistic prompt and hit the 'Enhance with AI' button and then work from that.
Weak prompt
“AI news”
Better prompt
“Monitor important developments in artificial intelligence, focusing on major model releases, new capabilities, significant research, regulation and announcements from leading AI companies. Ignore minor product updates and repetitive commentary.”
Configure how it behaves
What it does
The Waypoint's prompt defines its objective and scope.
When it runs
Choose how frequently Wayfinder should check or create something. Slow-moving subjects may only need a weekly check; others justify daily, hourly or more frequent monitoring.
What counts as important
Research Waypoints can be configured so trivial developments don't clutter your Feed.
Research behaviour
Generative Waypoints can decide automatically whether fresh research is needed, or you can explicitly tell them to research or not research.
Notifications
Choose whether new findings should simply appear in Wayfinder or also trigger your enabled notification channels.
Social
A Waypoint can optionally feed findings into Wayfinder's Social workflow.
Your Feed
Everything Wayfinder discovers and creates
The Feed is where Wayfinder brings your intelligence together. Every completed Waypoint run can produce a Finding.
- A newly discovered development
- An important change
- A researched summary
- A generated article
- A recipe
- A learning item
- An idea
- An image and accompanying content
Research findings can include their supporting sources, giving you somewhere to verify or explore the underlying information yourself.
Feed views
Your Feed isn't limited to a chronological stream. Wayfinder can combine information from your own Waypoints, Waypoints you follow, and public discovery to surface things relevant to you. Explicit choices such as your Waypoints, follows and preferences take priority over inferred interests.
Open Wayfinder and quickly understand what deserves your attention.
Findings
The individual pieces of intelligence in your Feed
A Finding is an individual result produced by a Waypoint. For a Research Waypoint, it represents something Wayfinder determined was worth reporting. For a Generative Waypoint, it is the content created during that run.
What a finding can contain
- Title
- Summary
- Full content
- Images
- Importance
- Score
- Quotes
- Sources
- Supporting links
Favourites
Keep the things worth remembering
See something you want to come back to? Favourite it. Favourites turn your Feed from something temporary into a personal knowledge library.
- A useful recipe
- An important news development
- A travel requirement
- A research result
- An interesting idea
- Something you want to compare later
Collections
Favourites can optionally be organised into collections — for example Cookbook, Thailand, AI or Business ideas. A Favourite can belong to more than one collection, so collections behave like flexible groupings rather than folders.
Ask Wayfinder about your Favourites
- What have I saved about Thailand visas?
- Compare the AI announcements I've favourited this month.
- Build me a meal plan from recipes I've saved.
- Summarise the major themes in my recent favourites.
Your Favourites therefore become more useful as your library grows.

Explore
Discover Waypoints other people can use
You don't always need to create a Waypoint from scratch. Explore lets you browse public Waypoints covering technology, AI, science, current affairs, travel, sport, food, learning, entertainment, business, finance and lifestyle.
Public Waypoints aren't static templates. Their public pages show their recent real output, so you can see what they actually do before deciding whether you want them.
Follow
Enjoy the output of a public Waypoint but don't need your own copy? Follow it, and its findings become part of your Wayfinder experience.
Create my own waypoint from this prompt
Want your own version? Wayfinder creates an independent copy you can customise — prompt, schedule, notifications, behaviour and social settings. From that point forward, it's your Waypoint.
Personal Preferences
Help Wayfinder understand what interests you
Your Personal Preferences tell Wayfinder which broad subjects you're interested in — for example AI & technology, science, business, travel, food, sport, health & fitness or entertainment.
You can change your preferences at any time.
You can change your preferences at any time from Settings.
Notifications
Decide when Wayfinder should interrupt you
Not every Finding deserves an interruption. Wayfinder separates finding something from notifying you about it: your Feed remains the central record of what your Waypoints produce, while notifications alert you when appropriate.
- In-app
- Push notifications
- Telegram
- Webhooks
This means you can have quiet background Waypoints that simply populate your Feed, and high-priority Waypoints that actively alert you.
Waypoint Groups
Organise your Waypoints
As you create more Waypoints, groups help keep them manageable.
Thailand
Visa changes · Koh Samui news · Thai banking · Flight prices
Technology
AI releases · Python ecosystem · Cybersecurity
Content
Daily recipe · Social ideas · Weekly learning
Groups organise your Waypoints without changing how those Waypoints operate.
AI Assistant
Manage Wayfinder by talking to it
The AI Assistant lets you work with Wayfinder using natural language. Instead of configuring everything one item at a time, you can tell the assistant what you want.
- Create five Waypoints covering different categories from my Personal Preferences.
- Create a group called Thailand and move all my Thailand-related Waypoints into it.
- Change my daily Research Waypoints to run every six hours.
- Pause all my sports Waypoints.
- Make my AI news Waypoint focus more heavily on new model releases.
The assistant understands Wayfinder concepts such as Waypoints, Findings, groups and Personal Preferences, and can use the relevant context from your account when helping you.
AI Credits
How AI and research usage is measured
Some Wayfinder operations consume AI Credits. Credits let Wayfinder account for AI generation, web research and other metered work without forcing every feature into a rigid usage limit.
More complex work generally costs more than simple work. A Generative Waypoint that creates text may require less processing than one that researches current information, generates the content and creates an image.
You can view your available AI Credits from your account, and additional credits can be purchased when required.

A complete example
From an idea to an ongoing intelligence stream
Suppose you're planning to move to Thailand. You create these Waypoints:
Thailand visa changes
- Prompt:
- Monitor DTV visa rules, immigration requirements, extensions and reporting changes.
Koh Samui
- Prompt:
- Monitor important local developments affecting residents and long-term visitors.
Thai Cooking
- Prompt:
- Create approachable Thai recipes using ingredients I can easily find locally.
Thailand Travel
- Prompt:
- Find meaningful travel developments, route changes and entry requirements.
Now Wayfinder continuously runs those instructions and your Feed becomes a personalised Thailand intelligence stream. You favourite particularly useful visa information, add recipes you like to a Cookbook collection, and follow a public Thailand Waypoint you discovered through Explore.
You ask the AI Assistant to create another three Waypoints useful for someone preparing to live in Thailand — and when a useful travel development appears, you turn it into a Social Draft without leaving Wayfinder.
Wayfinder isn't somewhere you repeatedly go to ask the same questions. You tell it what matters once, and it keeps working for you.

If something is unclear or not working the way you expect, tell us — feedback reaches us directly with context about where you were in the app.
Social
Turn useful findings into social content
Rather than copying a Finding into another AI tool and asking it to rewrite it, you can create a Social Draft directly from Wayfinder. A draft can adapt the same Finding for different platforms while respecting the configured social profile, tone and formatting requirements.
Depending on your configuration, a Waypoint can also automatically send qualifying findings into the Social workflow.
Social profiles
A Social Profile defines how Wayfinder should communicate for a particular brand or identity.
