Discover where you are.

You've been stuck at that light a hundred times. The one that always takes too long. But one day you glance to your right, and notice a plaque on a building you've seen a thousand times but never actually seen. A plaque marking Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, where Silicon Valley was born.

The world is full of stories like this. Gadzooks helps you find them.

AI meets curiosity.

Gadzooks combines powerful AI with a growing community of curious explorers to surface the stories hidden in the landscape around you. Some stories come from our AI, which draws on vast knowledge to find what's remarkable about where you stand. Others come from people like you: explorers who noticed something worth sharing.

Together, we're building a living map of human experience.

Tune your discovery.

Not everyone seeks the same kind of discovery. Some are drawn to puzzles and patterns. Others to raw emotion and human drama. Still others to the elegant and the unexpected.

You can tune what surfaces along seven axes: Logic, Grit, Mystery, Heart, Style, Tech, and Whimsy. Adjust them to shape what you find.

Logic Grit Mystery Heart Style Tech Whimsy

Capture what moves you.

Stand before a vista that takes your breath away. Capture it with a single tap. Your precise location, the exact moment, the direction you were facing, all preserved automatically. Then add your thoughts. Your reflections.

What emerges is a contribution. A bookmark in the story of a place, available to anyone who visits after you.

Plan journeys that matter.

String together waypoints into meaningful journeys. Maybe it's a walking tour of locations where key moments in history unfolded. Or a road trip connecting the childhood homes of your favorite authors. Or simply a personal pilgrimage through the places that shaped your own history.

Share your expeditions with others. What begins as a personal journey can become a gift to every explorer who comes after you.

Knowledge that connects.

Traditional maps show you where things are. Gadzooks shows you how things relate to each other.

Start at a historic jazz club. Follow connections to the musicians who performed there. Discover the neighborhoods where they lived, the other venues where they played, the social movements they influenced. Each node leads to more nodes. Each discovery opens new paths.

See the bigger picture.

Immersive 3D visualizations where places cluster by meaning rather than geography. Conceptually related discoveries appear near each other, revealing patterns you'd never see on a traditional map. Write a query and watch nodes light up based on how closely they relate to what you're looking for.

Privacy by design.

Your curiosity is personal. Your discoveries are yours to share, or keep to yourself. Your location is used to enable discovery, nothing more. We don't sell your data. We don't build advertising profiles. We don't monetize your movements.

Start free. Grow with us.

Begin your journey at no cost. Explore places. Discover stories. Capture field notes. Experience what happens when AI and human curiosity work together.

When you're ready for more, a paid tier unlocks the full power of the platform. We've kept the price low enough that it shouldn't be a barrier. Curiosity shouldn't have a meter running.
