Place a QR code next to any exhibit. Visitors scan with their phone and have an interactive AI conversation about the art, artifact, or display. No app download. No headset rental. No friction.
Audio guides are expensive to produce, hard to update, and require headset rental logistics. Many visitors skip them entirely. QR-based AI guides eliminate all of those problems — free for visitors, instant to use, and you update the content anytime from a dashboard.
Interactive, Not Just Audio
Unlike recorded audio guides, AI QR guides are interactive. Visitors ask follow-up questions, go deeper on topics that interest them, and skip what they don't care about. Each visit becomes personalized to the visitor's curiosity.
Easy to Deploy
Create an AI guide in ThingCore, print the QR code on a small label, and place it next to the exhibit. No hardware, no app store submission, no IT department. Update the content anytime from your dashboard.
