Digital mediation, designed for galleries.
Give every exhibition the context it deserves, in your artists’ voice. In full autonomy, without an agency, with no app to download.
For a gallery, Gidmi is a digital mediation tool. Your team creates the mediation for each exhibition, in-house, without an agency. Visitors reach it by scanning a code, with no app. The AI answers from your sources, in the gallery’s voice, never elsewhere.
A new show, online in an afternoon.
In a gallery, the pace is fast. One exhibition follows another, sometimes every six weeks. With Gidmi, your team produces the mediation for a new show itself, in a few hours.
You describe the hang, the assistant suggests a text, you adjust it. The tour is ready, translated and reachable through a simple code. No quote, no wait, no agency.

Three steel plates, barely welded. The artist lets the material speak the effort. Step closer: the tool’s mark is still there.
The artist’s voice, not the web.
Contemporary art often puzzles without a word of context. When a visitor asks a general AI, it answers with an average of the web. It knows nothing of the artist’s intent or the show’s purpose.
With Gidmi, the AI answers from your sources: the artist’s texts, the press release, the work notes. The visitor gets your reading, not a robot’s. If the answer is not in your sources, the AI says so.

Grounded answer, never invented
Explore alone, yet accompanied.
In a gallery, there is not always someone to guide. The visitor scans a code and the visit opens, with no app. They move at their own pace, work after work.
A question holds them? They ask it in their own words and get an answer, in the language they prefer. The gallery stays present, even when no one is in the room.
Three steel plates, barely welded. The artist lets the material speak the effort, polishing nothing. No plinth: the gesture outweighs the object. Step closer. A tool has left its mark, still vivid.
The visitor leaves with the story.
An exhibition lasts only a few weeks. What a visitor takes from it can last far longer. With mediation in your own voice, each visitor leaves with the story you meant to tell. Not an approximation.
Frequently asked questions
What is digital mediation for an art gallery?
Digital mediation covers the tools that tell an exhibition’s story to its visitors. Text, audio and answers to their questions, on their phone. With Gidmi, the gallery produces this mediation itself, for each hang. Visitors reach it through a code to scan, with no app.
How do you guide visitors through a show without mediation staff?
The visitor scans a code at the entrance and the visit opens on their phone. They move at their own pace, work by work, with the text and audio you prepared. They can ask questions and get an answer, even when no one is in the room.
Do visitors need to download an app?
No. The visitor scans a code with their phone, and the visit opens at once. Nothing to install, no account to create. You can place a code at the entrance, beside a work, or on the label. The visitor lands exactly where you want them.
Can you update the mediation for each new exhibition?
Yes, that is the whole point of Gidmi for a gallery. You create one tour per exhibition, in a few hours. When the hang changes, you start from a fresh page or reuse your content. No provider to call back each time.
Can the AI talk about contemporary art without distorting it?
The AI answers only from the sources you give it: the artist’s texts, the press release, the work notes. It does not draw on an average of the web. If a question goes beyond your sources, it says so, rather than inventing an answer.
Can you offer the visit in several languages?
Yes. You translate an entire tour into several languages in one move. On opening, the app switches to the visitor’s language, when it is available. Anyone can also change it by hand. Useful for foreign collectors and visitors.
How long does it take to put an exhibition online?
A few hours are enough for a first tour, not several weeks. You describe the hang, the assistant suggests a text, you adjust it. Translation and publishing then happen very quickly. The detail is explained on the Create page.
Is the gallery’s data protected?
Yes. Your sources, your texts and the visit data are hosted in Europe, in compliance with GDPR. Your content is not used to train AI models. You remain the owner of your work.
Is Gidmi a good fit for a small gallery?
Yes. Gidmi is built for galleries with no agency budget and no mediation team. One person is enough to create a tour. The assistant helps you write, but you keep the final decision. The smaller the team, the more autonomy matters.
