Museum audio guides,
powered by AI
Curators craft the story. Kushya Guide delivers it conversationally,
using purpose-built hardware. No apps, no screens, all eyes on the exhibits.
Museums were made for looking up, not down at a phone.
How it works
Conversational AI that visitors speak with
Kushya Guide converses naturally with visitors in real time, drawing exclusively from your museum's approved content. You define the knowledge base, the AI delivers it.
A hardware-first approach
At Kushya Guide, we believe the shift towards BYOD is a mistake. Apps and QR codes demand attention from visitors before they've even looked at an exhibit. Kushya Guide takes the opposite approach - a lightweight, screen-free device driven entirely by voice, so exhibits are experienced the way it's meant to be: without distraction.
Why use conversational AI?
Relieving Pressure on Staff
Relieving Pressure on Staff
Visitor-facing staff spend a significant portion of their time answering the same questions. Conversational AI handles routine enquiries - opening times, exhibit locations, object histories - freeing your team to focus on higher-value interactions and the work only humans can do.
Visitor Analytics

Every question a visitor asks is a signal. What are people most curious about? Which exhibits generate confusion? Where does engagement drop off? Kushya Guide turns visitor conversations into structured insights - giving curators and managers data to inform programming, interpretation, and investment decisions.
Curatorial Control
Curatorial Control
The AI speaks only from content your institution has approved. Curators define the knowledge base; the AI delivers it accurately and consistently. You get the benefits of conversational engagement without relinquishing control of your narrative.
Personalisation at Scale
Personalisation at Scale
Every visitor brings different knowledge, curiosity, and pace. Conversational AI adapts in real time - giving a child and an art historian a completely different experience of the same exhibit, without any additional staff effort. No two tours are the same.
