GAUDÍO

Experience is the best teacher. 💡 After over a month of public testing, we have already gained interesting insights into how visitors interact with conversational AI in museums. An essential discovery: Simplicity drives engagement. After multiple iterations and supervised testing sessions, visitors naturally gravitate toward voice interactions over text - speaking directly to AI guides while exploring everything from technical details to historical stories. And everyone's clear favorite? Rico the Rat! 🐀 Through continuous testing and visitor feedback, we have refined our solution in ways only possible through real-world experiences - each conversation teaches us something new every time. Thank you to the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz team for this innovative partnership. If you have not experienced it yet, the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz is definitely worth a visit during these cold winter days! ❄️

Reflecting on our intensive weeks at The Accelerator by START Global, University of St.Gallen, and Switzerland Innovation Park Ost! 🚀 These five weeks were essential in shaping how we bring personalized AI guides to cultural institutions. The program equipped us with practical tools - from financial planning and go-to-market strategies with Melanie Gabriel to deepening our understanding of museum and visitor needs with Beat Walther. Raphael J. Kappeler's fundraising insights and Daniela Landherr's team-building sessions helped us build a stronger foundation for scaling our cultural tech solution. And lastly, regular roasting sessions refined our approach, ending in a great Demo Day. Congrats KUORI for winning the 25k CHF! Thanks to everyone involved for the valuable experience and to all mentors and fellow startups for their input. We look forward to implementing these insights while developing our AI-powered guides. Special thanks to the core team Jürg Stuker, Max Bieri, Dr. Bernd F. Schneider, Marcel Niklas Rückwald, Selina Studer, Barbara Schmidt, Diego Probst, Simone Muscaritolo, Niklas Kerscher and the rest of the team!

Super excited to share that GAUDÍO has been selected for the AI Launchpad program at ETH AI Center / Talent Kick 🎉 This feels extra special as ETH Zürich is where I studied and grew as an entrepreneur - the place that shaped my journey and gave me the foundation to build GAUDÍO together with our incredible team. Can't wait to work alongside other amazing startups and learn from the incredible mentors. Thanks for this great opportunity. 🖼️ #AILaunchpad #ETHZurich #AIInnovation

We are back from MUTEC Leipzig with valuable insights to share. One lesson stood out clearly: The power of demonstration. Seeing our AI guides in action transformed initial curiosity into genuine understanding. What resonated most was how immediately people grasped the possibilities for efficiency and personalization in their institutions. We were particularly struck by the depth of AI discussions that emerged. Cultural professionals wanted to understand not just the technology, but its ethical implications and practical applications in their spaces. Most encouraging was the diverse range of institutions engaging with us - from art galleries and science centers to castles and botanical gardens. Each with exciting ideas on how Gaudio could enhance the experience for their guests. For us, this marks our entry into the German market. We are grateful for the thoughtful conversations and excited for the collaborations ahead. If you missed us at MUTEC, reach out—we would love to have a conversation! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Wir sind zurück von der MUTEC Leipzig mit wertvollen Erkenntnissen. Eine wichtige Erfahrung: Die Wirkung der Demonstration. Zu sehen, wie unsere KI-Guides in Aktion funktionieren, verwandelte anfängliche Neugier in echtes Verständnis. Was überzeugte, war wie unmittelbar die Möglichkeiten für Effizienz und Personalisierung in den jeweiligen Einrichtungen erkannt wurden. Beeindruckt hat uns auch die Tiefe der Diskussionen. Neben der Technologie standen auch ethische Aspekte und konkrete Anwendungsmöglichkeiten im Fokus. Ermutigt hat uns die Vielfalt der interessierten Einrichtungen: Von der Kunsthalle über Wissenschaftszentren bis zu Schlössern und botanischen Gärten. Jede mit spannenden Ideen zur Nutzung von Gaudio zur Bereicherung des Erlebnisses vor Ort. Für uns markiert dies den Eintritt in den deutschen Markt. Wir sind dankbar für die zahlreichen Gespräche und freuen uns auf die kommenden Kooperationen.

What if AI could make every museum visit feel like a personal journey through art? At GAUDÍO, we are building technology that can bring new layers of meaning to each visitor’s experience. In our latest article, we share how AI can adapt to individual interests—enhancing the museum experience without losing the depth that makes art so impactful. Discover how we are making art more engaging and accessible.

We are excited to be working with the National Museum Zurich (Landesmuseum Zürich) on a pilot project exploring how AI-powered guides could personalize and enrich the visitor experience of Swiss history and culture. 🏛️🇨🇭 Together with experts Dr. Joya Indermühle, Dr. Günhan Akarçay, and Alex Baur, our goal is to assess how AI can bring Switzerland's rich cultural heritage to life in new, engaging ways—while preserving its authenticity and educational value. Stay tuned for updates as we test the potential of this innovative project! 🎯

Yesterday we had the opportunity to share our vision of making cultural knowledge accessible, understandable, and educational with GAUDÍO at the Impulsraum. The discussions and new impulses were very insightful for us. We had inspiring exchanges with innovative minds like Thomas Dübendorfer from SICTIC, Carlo Camenzind from Citymates, and Bledar Fazlija from rhizon.ai. Thank you Wunderraum AG - Office I Coworking I Meeting Space and Schwyz Next for this valuable event! 🙌
