It’s move-in day. A freshman stands on the quad with two duffel bags and forty questions. With Waypoints, every building, statue, and lecture hall can introduce itself, point the way, and answer — right in the phone browser. No download, nothing to install.
Tap a marker — QR · NFC · GPS — and the place starts talking
The Gothic Gate
Hargrove Library
“Where’s my 9 a.m.?”
COMM 1310 meets in Whitfield Hall, Room 204 — a four-minute walk. Want the step-free route?
One tap on any marker opens the welcome-week tour right in the phone browser — collected stops stamped, the next landmark lit, and the building itself ready to answer. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.
A campus is easy to love and easy to get lost in. Waypoints meets students exactly where the questions happen — at the steps, the statue, the serving line, the wrong door.
She taps the marker by the door. The library introduces itself — and takes the folder off her hands.
One tap and the statue finally gets to speak — the real story, and a reason to find the next one.
The marker at the entrance answers before the line moves.
Any marker nearby knows where Hall B is — and the route without stairs.
Waypoints isn’t a bundle of modules. It teaches the physical campus to guide, teach, and answer — and to stay current without a single reprinted flyer.
Wayfinding across the quad, from wherever the student is standing. Every waypoint knows where it sits on the map, what’s nearby, and where you’re headed next — including step-free, accessible routes to any hall on campus.
Orientation becomes a quest instead of a packet. Freshmen collect every landmark, unlock the history behind each one, and earn the class badge before the first lecture. The scavenger hunt writes itself from your own campus lore.
Housing, meal plans, parking, printing, office hours — answered from the university’s own handbooks and FAQs, not the open internet. And it answers in whatever language an international student brings to the conversation.
Room change at 8 a.m.? Event moved to the annex? Edit once in the studio and every marker on campus is current before the coffee line clears. No reprints, no taped-over signs, no out-of-date anything.
Third floor of Modern Languages, 4:50 p.m., a student outside a closed office. The department’s hours are in a PDF from August. With Waypoints, the door itself can answer — because the AI reads the university’s own documents and speaks for the place it’s standing in.
Every answer cites its source — and you approve every waypoint before it goes live

No committee, no semester-long IT project. You bring the documents your campus already has; the AI does the drafting; you do the approving.
The orientation packet, the campus map, department docs, the dining FAQ — whatever you already hand to freshmen. That’s the syllabus.
Stops, stories, directions, quiz moments, badge art — drafted from your documents, in your university’s voice. You review and edit anything.
QR and NFC markers at buildings, statues, and lecture halls; GPS zones for the open quad. Print them or order them — an afternoon’s walk.
Freshmen tap, the campus talks, and you watch it happen from the dashboard — which stops draw crowds, what questions get asked.
Point at the campus map and mark the spots that matter — the library steps, the founder’s statue, the dining hall doors. The studio turns every numbered mark into a live waypoint, drafted and ready for review.
From marked-up map to live campus — days, not semesters
Freshmen actually finish — because it plays like a hunt, not a handout. Every landmark collected is a corner of campus that now feels like theirs.
A prospective family on a quiet Saturday takes the full campus tour with no guide on shift — at their own pace, in their own order, statue by statue.
Every visitor gets the story in their own language, on their own phone. Admissions stops handing out folded maps and starts handing over the campus.
Every plan opens with 14 days free on a real corner of campus. Grow to welcome week when it earns it.
One real walk — the historic tour, done right.
Orientation, tours, and answers across the whole quad.
The whole campus, every block, no ceilings.
A whole-campus deployment typically runs $2,000–$5,000/month — one system where fragmented tour, orientation and training tools used to be.
Multiple venues, unlimited waypoints, more editors, and higher visitor volume.
More venues, higher usage limits, and more editors and analytics.
Unlimited venues, the highest visitor and usage limits, and priority processing.
Upload the orientation packet today. Walk past a lamp post that answers before the week is out.
14-day free trial · no card · nothing to install for students, ever
No — and they never will. A tap on a QR code or NFC marker (or walking into a GPS zone) opens the waypoint in the phone’s browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, nothing between a freshman and the answer.
Because you give it the sources: the orientation packet, the student handbook, the campus map, department documents. The AI drafts every waypoint from your materials — not the open internet — and your team reviews and approves everything before it goes live.
Waypoints answers in the language the student writes in, so the same marker serves the whole incoming class. Wayfinding can prefer step-free, accessible routes, and every waypoint is a simple text-first page that respects the phone’s own accessibility settings.
One person with a browser. Edit a waypoint in the studio — a room change, a moved event, new dining hours — and every marker on campus updates instantly. The physical QR codes never change; only what they say does.
