Make Every Artwork Speak: Vision AI for Smarter Museum Visits

Museums are guardians of culture, but the way we experience them hasn’t changed much in decades. Audio guides run out, placards are hard to read or poorly translated, and many exhibits - especially ceiling paintings, architectural features, or smaller objects - lack context altogether. For many visitors, this means missing the story behind what they’re seeing.

Tiliter’s Vision AI Agents offer museums a new way to engage modern audiences by turning any smartphone into a powerful cultural companion. With just a photo, visitors can instantly identify any painting, sculpture, object, or design feature, even in crowded or dimly lit conditions - and unlock verified information, tailored to their language and interests.

This visual recognition technology can be embedded into existing museum apps or launched as a lightweight companion app. It works offline or online and doesn't require GPS or QR codes. Visitors receive curated content: artwork history, artist background, interpretations, or related works. No touching, no waiting, no need for special devices.

The result? A more immersive, personalised museum journey - one that meets expectations of digital-native audiences and supports inclusive access for all.

Museums benefit too. With anonymous usage analytics, they can learn what artworks are getting attention, what people are curious about, and how to optimise the layout and interpretation of future exhibitions. It also reduces staffing strain, especially during peak periods, and enhances the experience for international tourists and people with vision or learning needs.
