Luna
The local friend who tells it straightStay in Trastevere this evening. Walk slowly from Ponte Sisto to Santa Maria in Trastevere, then let the small streets and local bars decide the rest; honestly, I would skip adding another monument.
Our approach
Understanding the place before speaking about it.
Thaïa combines vision, location, cultural sources, and context to understand what surrounds you before generating a response.
An answer is only useful if it understands where, when and why it is being asked.
From source to story
Five layers between a source and an answer.
Why is this tower standing on its own?
ThaïaIt's the bell tower of a church that is gone: Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, demolished after it was sold in 1797. Only the tower was kept.
01
Sources
Public, open, and institutional sources form the cultural foundation. Each piece of information retains its provenance so it remains identifiable and verifiable.
02
Knowledge
Sources are structured, connected, and ranked around places, works, periods, and the relationships between them.
03
Context
Location, image, language, time of day, available time, and discovery history determine which information is relevant to the situation.
04
Interpretation
The model generates its response from this documented context, maintaining a clear link between the narrative and the sources behind it.
05
Experience
Delivery then adapts to the medium, level of detail, available time, and real-world context of the visit.
The engine
Five capabilities, one knowledge base.
Visual recognition
When you allow it, recognition can use your location, time of day and visit context to better interpret what you frame.
Computer vision + open geographic data.

Starry Night Over the RhôneSource: musee-orsay.fr
Here it is. Van Gogh painted it in 1888 in Arles, on the banks of the Rhône. It now hangs in the Musée d’Orsay.

Conversational voice
The voice experience is designed to let you interrupt, clarify or go deeper without starting a new search.
Thaïa does not record your voice or the text of your questions on its servers. Voice processing is handled by our artificial intelligence provider.
What should Thaïa call you?Memory
Cultural memory is designed as a list you can review and edit. From one city to the next, it can enrich the context of future discoveries or be erased at any time.
Memory you can review, edit and delete.

Itinerary composition
Itinerary composition is designed to combine time, distance, crowd levels, interests and pace to build a coherent route.
In development · open sources, algorithmic curation.
Proximity
The phone watches zones, not your route. A place only triggers an alert if it clears a notability threshold. Silence is the default.
On-device geofencing. No route is sent.
Sourcing and verification
An answer must lead back to its source.
A cultural answer should be traceable to its origin. When a source is available, Thaïa identifies it; when information cannot be sufficiently supported, the system should make that limitation clear.
Traceable
Answers are grounded in the documented context given to the model, so the link to the sources behind them is maintained.
Cited
When provenance is available, the source can be displayed and opened from the interface.
Correctable
Reports can be reviewed in order to correct or improve the content concerned.
An artwork on screen, the same conversation
The library is designed to extend the same gesture: open an artwork, ask your question, and get an answer anchored on that work’s exact identity. The answer is generated by the model; the context it rests on is sourced. Every image clears a rights check before it enters the base.
Every artwork carries its type: painting, print, drawing, photograph, sculpture or archaeology. Enough to know what a museum holds before you go.

Adaptation
The same place is never told just one way.
Rome, last evening: just one thing?
Atlas
The art history enthusiastFor your last evening in Rome, choose the Pantheon: its ancient interior still works as a living church, and the oculus makes the sky part of the building.
Kai
Curious about the art of todayFor your last evening in Rome, go to Mattatoio in Testaccio: a former slaughterhouse now devoted to contemporary art, with living artists and changing projects rather than another polished monument.
