Launch Your First AI Historical Guide in Three Simple Steps

MuseumAI was designed to make it easy for museums to introduce conversational AI without complex installations or specialized technical knowledge. Institutions can begin with a single historical figure or exhibit and expand over time as visitors engage with the platform.

1. Upload Your Museum's Research and Exhibit Materials

Museums begin by uploading the documents that already exist within their institution, such as exhibition texts, archival research, educational materials, and curatorial notes.

MuseumAI uses these materials to build a knowledge base that ensures all AI responses are grounded in the museum's own scholarship and interpretation.

This approach allows institutions to maintain full curatorial authority while transforming their research into an interactive visitor experience.

2. Create Historical AI Avatars

Museums can then create AI avatars representing historical figures, artists, curators, or narrators connected to their collections.

Each avatar can be customized by:

Once created, these avatars can speak in the first person, allowing visitors to ask questions and explore history through natural conversation.

Museums often begin with a small group of key figures and expand the experience across exhibits over time.

3. Deploy Across Exhibits Using QR Codes or Interactive Kiosks

After the avatars are created, museums can place simple QR codes next to exhibits or portraits. Visitors scan the code with their smartphones and immediately begin a conversation with the historical figure.

For institutions seeking a more immersive experience, MuseumAI also supports interactive kiosk installations that allow visitors to speak directly with historical figures through voice conversations.

Because the system runs through a web browser, visitors do not need to download any special apps or devices to participate.

A Flexible Platform That Grows With Your Museum

Museums can start small and expand gradually, creating additional AI avatars, adding new exhibits, and introducing more conversational guides as their programs evolve.

Whether used for a single gallery or an entire institution, MuseumAI provides museums with a flexible way to bring history into conversation while maintaining the authenticity and authority of their collections.
