Problem
Museums often rely on static, single-language audio guides and paper maps, which limit personalization, hinder multilingual accessibility, and require frequent manual updates to reflect curatorial changes.
Solution
Artlas delivers an AI‑driven platform that lets cultural institutions generate dynamic audio guides and indoor wayfinding experiences tailored to each visitor. The system uses computer‑vision models to recognize artworks in real time and retrieve contextual metadata from a centralized knowledge base. An on‑device conversational agent, Metti, provides instant, multilingual answers to visitor queries, adapting its responses to the user’s knowledge level. Smart route planning algorithms produce optimal indoor navigation paths, reducing visitor disorientation in large venues. All content is managed through a cloud‑based authoring console, enabling curators to push updates instantly without redeploying hardware. The platform integrates with existing museum IT stacks via RESTful APIs, supporting both subscription and usage‑based licensing models.
Target Audience
The primary customers are museums, galleries, and cultural venues that need scalable, personalized visitor engagement tools, as well as their digital experience teams responsible for content creation and analytics.
