History behind glass, unlocked.

Turn academic footnotes into living encounters. Zigg.ai lets visitors hold a real conversation with the people behind the exhibit - grounded in the genuine record.


The static-display problem

A single installation ages the moment it opens.

A static installation can cost upwards of £100,000 - and it starts aging the moment it opens. Visitors glance, take a selfie, and move on. No dialogue. No updates. No reason to return.

Zigg.ai replaces "read about them" with "talk to them."


What it brings

What it brings to your institution.

Natural conversation.

Real-time dialogue with sub-second latency - ask anything, follow up, go deeper.

Historically grounded AI.

Answers rooted in authentic documents and verified accounts - not invention.

Learning by encounter.

Visitors learn through dialogue, at their own pace and in their own language.

Always current.

Refresh content, correct detail, or change the figure entirely - no re-fabrication.


Proven impact

Impact for visitor attractions.

Increase engagement and dwell time.

Conversation holds attention in a way a label can't.

Drive repeat visits.

A new persona for each season or exhibition gives people a reason to come back.

Improve accessibility.

Multilingual out of the box (5+ languages, scalable to 50+), with content pitched to the audience.

Generate PR and word of mouth.

A genuinely novel, shareable experience.
