Exhibits come alive
In front of every object, the child hears a 90-second story – in their own age-language.

Guide 3.0 – the child who leaves should come back.
The museum visit ends at the door. Our app extends it, and brings the child back to you after three months. Pilot in preparation.
- GDPR-compliant
- Made in Germany
- Age-appropriate content
Pilot in preparation.
Why now
The museum visit is a three-hour event. The bond with your institution ends afterwards.
Families with children typically visit museums only rarely per year, unless a special occasion pulls them in. Special exhibitions create peaks that don't translate into recurring visitorship. At the same time, museums compete with streaming, gaming and social worlds for the attention of the 4–14 audience – putting structural pressure on the educational and inspiration mandate.
An in-house tech investment is not affordable for most institutions – and even if it were: AI Act, the German Youth Protection Act and GDPR make any direct interaction with children in an in-house application legally complex. The gap between educational mission and digital execution capability is widening.
Your institution
Your institution. Your exhibits. Your questions.
– in the app the children of tomorrow are opening anyway.
The hands-on workshop
What exactly happens inside the engine? Interactive tasks, quizzes, parent feedback.
Curator voices
Your team records audio snippets – we turn them into kid-style explainers.
After the visit
The child comes back three times – on day 7, day 30, day 90. Parents see the effect.
Trust through clear rules
What this solution deliberately excludes.
We build curated curator and character voices, not companion AI. In concrete terms:
- No companion persona, no persistent relationship simulation.
- No long-term memory of individual children.
- No manipulative engagement loops, no daily-active-user optimisation.
- No optimisation for emotional attachment.
- Character voice stays inside the defined role corridor, no talking beyond the brand.
What we deliver
What we deliver for your institution.
Three outcomes, one integration sprint. You maintain content yourself in the CMS – or we take over. Free of charge for pilot customers.
01
Content integration
Your exhibits, curator voices and special exhibitions, prepared age-appropriately for the 4–14 audience. We build, you approve. Exhibits, curator voices and special-exhibition content remain the property of your institution. RAG-based access, no model training on your collection.
Time-to-launch: 6–8 weeks.
02
Return-visit funnel
The child returns to the app after 7, 30 and 90 days. Your institution stays top-of-mind, without requiring a second ticket purchase.
Measurable through a cohort dashboard.
03
Trust & compliance
GDPR-compliant, BzKJ publications as methodology source, four scientific partners.
AI-Act-compliant across all stages through 02 December 2027.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions.
„We already have an app."
+−
Audio-guide apps are no longer opened after the visit. We build the return funnel, not the visit itself.
„AI with children is legally too risky."
+−
That's exactly what we are here for: HÄRTING stack, AI-Act-ready, BzKJ methodology incorporated, JuSchG-compliant.
„We have no budget for ongoing licence costs."
+−
Pilot tier with free CMS support, set-up financeable via special-exhibition budget or grant application.
Brands, publishers, studios, platforms and public bodies are co-supporters – not licensees. They shape the standards against which child-oriented AI in Europe will be measured.
