Museum audio guides
visitors can talk to
Curators craft the story. Kushya Guide delivers it conversationally. Kushya Guide takes a voice-first approach, ensuring visitors spend more time looking up at the exhibits than down on their phones. It provides long-form interactive tour guides that visitors can speak to, with a special focus on learning outcomes, visitor satisfaction and accessibility.
How it works
Interactive, conversational visitor guidance
Kushya Guide converses naturally with visitors in real time throughout the tour, drawing exclusively from your museum's approved content. You define the knowledge base, Kushya Guide delivers it.
A voice-first approach
Kushya Guide is built on the belief that the future of museum audio guides lies in voice-first interactive solutions. Visitors speak different languages, are at different ages, and are curious about different things. A traditional audio guide can't always cater to these different needs, but Kushya Guide can. By using customised speech-to-speech models, Kushya Guide gives each visitor their own private tour guide to interact with.
Kushya Guide is currently accessed online through visitors' mobile phones; an option suitable for museums taking a BYOD-approach with low maintenance.
For museums valuing phone-free visitor experiences, Kushya Guide aims to build a custom, screen-free and lightweight unit for access to the guide in the future.
