How AI supports visitors’ experience in a museum: example one
AI-powered, natural-language search lets visitors and staff explore collections conversationally — making the journey more meaningful and memorable.
MuCoDi has built AI capabilities into the search experience on museum websites so that users can find objects and information for their context and curiosity. It makes their journey even more meaningful and memorable.
Conversational design has been making news in many digital products worldwide. Now imagine that AI Search in MuCoDi gives you a conversational interface to explore collections and specific objects. Instead of navigating through multiple filters and fields, museum staff and visitors can simply ask questions in their own natural language — for example: “Can I see the details of hvalrostand?”
Our metadata-compliant AI model immediately synthesises information from across your collections, putting together artwork details, key works, connections and related stories — all in one conversational interface.
Why it matters for a museum’s website
- Contextual understanding: it knows “hvalrostand” means walrus tusk and connects it to related themes (Inuit culture, wildlife, craftsmanship)
- Structured responses: organised summaries, key-works lists and thematic connections
- Direct access: jump straight to admin pages for specific objects with one click
- No query-building required: instant answers without mastering complex search syntax
Early feedback from one of our pilot museums: “It’s like having a collections expert who has memorised our entire database.” Our AI Search is rolling out to select museums. Curious how it could work for yours? Contact us at info@mucodi.co.
