Digital mediation, designed for museums.
Give every visitor a tour in your own voice, accessible and in their language. In full autonomy, without an agency, with no app to download.
For a museum, Gidmi is a digital mediation tool. Your team creates visitor tours and audio guides in-house, without an agency. Visitors reach them by scanning a code, with no app. The AI answers from your sources only, never elsewhere, under your control.
Your voice, from room to room.
A museum speaks on many fronts: permanent collection, temporary shows, young audiences. With Gidmi, your team writes and updates each tour itself, without an outside provider.
The tone, the level of detail, the editorial choices stay yours. When a work moves to another room, you fix the text in minutes. Mediation follows the museum’s rhythm, not an agency’s quote. You keep your hand on every word you publish.
A visit that’s accessible to everyone.
Accessibility is not an option added at the end. In the app, each visitor adjusts the text size. They can turn on the OpenDyslexic font or high-contrast mode. Tours work with screen readers.
Your team can write a tour in easy-to-read language, for the audiences who need it. We build Gidmi following the requirements of the French RGAA and WCAG 2.1 AA.
Accessibility
Text size
Every visitor, in their own language.
Your visitors come from everywhere. The app opens in each visitor’s language, when it is available. Anyone can switch freely.
In the studio, you translate an entire tour into several languages in one move. There is no need to re-record an audio guide for each audience. One body of work serves the local visitor, the school group and the foreign tourist.
Already at work at the Louis Braille Museum.
The Louis Braille Museum placed accessibility at the heart of its mediation. With Gidmi, its team made a tour accessible to everyone, in-house. One example of what the tool changes in the field.
Frequently asked questions
What is digital mediation for a museum?
Digital mediation covers the tools that tell a museum’s story to its visitors. Visitor tours, audio guides and answers to their questions, on their phone. With Gidmi, the museum produces this mediation itself. It updates it whenever it wants. Visitors reach it through a code to scan, with no app.
How is Gidmi different from a traditional audio guide?
A traditional audio guide plays fixed content, the same for everyone. Gidmi makes the visit alive. The visitor listens, but can also ask questions and get an answer. Your team edits the tours whenever it wants, without going back to a provider. And it all works with no hardware to lend and no app.
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 for the whole museum, for a specific tour or for a single work. The visitor lands exactly where you want them.
How do you make a museum visit accessible to everyone?
Accessibility works on two levels. On the visitor side, the app offers adjustable text size, the OpenDyslexic font and high contrast. Tours stay compatible with screen readers. On the content side, your team can write a tour in easy-to-read language. We build Gidmi following the requirements of the French RGAA and WCAG 2.1 AA.
Can you offer a tour 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. One tour serves your local audiences and your foreign visitors alike, with no new production.
Does the museum team keep control of the content and the AI?
Yes, fully. Every published text is written or approved by your team. You can edit it at any hour, without a provider. When a visitor asks a question, the AI answers from your sources, never from elsewhere. If the answer is not there, it says so, rather than inventing one.
How long does it take to put a tour online?
A few hours are enough for a first tour, not several months. You describe the content, the assistant suggests a text, you adjust it. Translation and publishing then happen very quickly. The detail of this production is explained on the Create page.
Is the museum’s and the visitors’ 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, and you take it with you if you leave Gidmi.
Is Gidmi a good fit for a small museum with a small team?
Yes. Gidmi is built for venues with no in-house studio and no agency budget. One person is enough to create a first tour. The assistant helps you write, but you keep the final decision. The smaller the team, the more autonomy and speed matter. That is exactly where Gidmi helps.
