Automatic recognition
As soon as you approach a relevant site, the character notices and introduces it — without you having to search for anything.

The key difference
Doesn't wait for questions.
Doesn't wait for questions.
Starts first.
As you approach a site, the character recognises it and anticipates: history, curiosities, what not to miss. Then it answers everything you want to know, by voice, in your language.
GPS active
«You're two hundred metres from the Temple of Concordia. Built in the 5th century BC, it's one of the best preserved in the world — and I'll tell you why the Greeks really called it that.»
— Salvatore, Sicilian guide
How it works
Start with the demo. Then decide.
1
Request access
Access is by invitation while the app is in private beta. Request it from the contact form; invited users get a full demo, with no upfront payment.
2
Buy credits
When you want to continue, buy a credit pack. Each conversation uses a few — pay only for what you use.
3
GPS always active
The app uses your location to anticipate: nearby sites, what's worth stopping to see, stories tied exactly to where you are.
4
Talk, anywhere
Ask questions by voice or text, in virtually any language. The character answers, narrates, gets indignant — like a real local.
GPS & suggestions
The character knows the territory. And knows where you are.
What's nearby
«Three hundred metres away there's a Norman church that almost nobody knows about.» The character takes you off the beaten track.
Contextual to the moment
Morning, evening, holiday — the character adapts the story to the context. Different every time you return to the same place.
Tablet vs Totem
Same character. Different contexts.
The tablet app is for the visitor on the move. The totem is for the space that wants to welcome them. The two complement each other.
