As MuCoDi is building AI capabilities for the museums' websites, here is an example of how AI powered search in the visitors' own natural language helps them in their moment of journey.
Conversational design have been making news in many digital products worldwide. Now imagine what if AI Search in MuCoDi gives you a conversational interface to explore the collections and specific objects.
Instead of navigating through multiple filters and fields and navigation paths, the museum staff as well as the visitors can simply ask questions in their natural language. For example:
"Can I see the details of hvalrostand?"
Our metadata compliant AI-model immediately synthesizes information from across your collections, and puts together artwork details, key works, connections, and related stories—all in one conversational interface.
This is not only about answering the user question or finding objects, this is building the visitors' relation and their confidence while exploring the museum. It makes their journey even more meaningful and memorable and which is what museums want.
From a museum's website goals viewpoint, it is such a powerful feature to have for:
Contextual understanding: It knows "hvalrostand" means walrus tusk and connects it to related themes (Inuit culture, wildlife, craftsmanship)
Structured responses: Organized summaries, key works lists, and thematic connections
Direct access: Jump straight to admin pages for specific objects with one click
No query-building required: Your collections team gets instant answers without mastering complex search syntax
This is particularly valuable for:
Research inquiries that span multiple objects
Material-based queries (like walrus ivory across your collection)
Thematic explorations (all works connected to specific cultural traditions)
Quick fact-finding for exhibition planning or visitor questions
We are so happy to see early feedback from one of our pilot museums: "It's like having a collections expert who have memorized our entire database."
Our AI Search is rolling out to select museums for the moment. Curious to see how it could work for your museum? Contact us any time at info@mucodi.co.
