Product presentation

Interactive AI avatars for public spaces

A digital employee that answers visitors out loud around the clock, handles routine requests and performs actions in your systems — without ever leaving your perimeter.

Most effective where visitor load is high, staffing is short and wayfinding is hard.

01What it is

Your digital employee

The avatar hears the visitor and answers out loud, the way a person would — it holds eye contact and knows the schedule, the programme, the floor plan, the rules and the prices of your venue specifically, because it is trained on your materials and fed a knowledge base you keep current.

Three form factors, one knowledge base

01

Kiosk on the floor

A terminal with a screen, microphone and speakers. Can run with no internet at all.

02

Widget on your site

The same character and the same knowledge base, in the visitor browser.

03

Module in your app

Embeds into the venue existing mobile application.

The knowledge base and the character are shared across all three. Data does not leave the venue perimeter and no external APIs are called. Integration options are agreed separately.

02Conversation as the interface

The avatar takes the visitor all the way to the outcome

We assemble a set of actions in your systems, specific to your venue.

Booking

A screening, a class, a guided tour, an appointment.

Sale

A ticket through the connected point-of-sale register.

Status

Of an application, a payment, a flight, a document.

Intake

A complaint, an incident report.

Escalation to a person

With the conversation context already collected.

Sample dialogues

The visitor speaks in their own words. The avatar answers from the venue knowledge base and, where needed, performs an action.

Visitor
Where can I eat with a child without spending much?
Avatar
The food court is on level three and four of its outlets have a children menu. If you want somewhere quieter, level two has a cafe with a play area. Shall I show you the way?
Visitor
The cafe, please.
Avatar
Right to the escalator, up to level two, then left — about two minutes. I have put the floor plan on screen.
Action in your systemRoute computed and rendered on the terminal screen
Visitor
Who is the man in this portrait?
Avatar
That is me. Mayor of Rostov-on-Don in the late nineteenth century. Running water and electric lighting came to the city on my watch. Would you like to hear how that happened?
Visitor
Why the water supply of all things?
Avatar
Because of cholera. The city drew water from the river, and the slaughterhouses stood downstream. Running water was not a convenience, it was a matter of survival.
Action in your systemThe character answers in first person, from the museum materials
Visitor
My flight is delayed and I will miss my connection. What do I do?
Avatar
Show your boarding pass to the camera or tell me the flight number — I will check the status and the connection window.
Visitor
SU 1735.
Avatar
Departure has moved by forty minutes and the connection still holds. If the delay grows you will be rebooked automatically. Shall I show you the service desk?
Action in your systemFlight status queried in the airport system
Visitor
Were you frightened when the cholera came?
Avatar
Everyone was frightened. But for a mayor fear is simply working weather: you are afraid in the morning and you still sign off the budget for the pipes by evening.
Visitor
How much did it cost?
Avatar
The museum has a whole panel of figures on that — step over and I will point out what to look at first.
Action in your systemOutside its knowledge base the avatar does not invent, it redirects
Visitor
I filed an application last week. Is it ready?
Avatar
Tell me the case number and I will check the status.
Visitor
One moment — it says 24-118-6042.
Avatar
The application is under review and the deadline is four working days away. I can take an amendment to it right now, or book you with a case officer.
Action in your systemCase status retrieved, an appointment can be booked

03What the venue gets

Five effects you see in the first season

01

Takes load off the front line

Routine questions go to the avatar so your staff can work the cases that actually need a person.

02

Runs 24/7 with no rota and no churn

A new season does not mean hiring and training another shift.

03

Never has an off day

Just as courteous in the two-thousandth conversation of the day as in the first.

04

Shows what people actually ask

De-identified request analytics — what people look for, what they fail to find, where they go.

05

Doubles as a talking point

The technology is still rare, so the installation draws attention and ends up in visitor social feeds.

04Timeline

Three weeks to a working avatar

In three weeks the avatar answers from your knowledge base on our infrastructure. Terminal delivery and integration with your venue services run in parallel — their timing depends on your systems.

Launch in two waves

Wave 1

The avatar goes live on the floor

It answers visitor questions from the venue knowledge base. That alone is enough for the installation to start working and producing data.

Wave 2

Actions come online

Booking, sale, status, intake — as each of your systems becomes ready, without taking the avatar offline.

05Content

The knowledge base is your own documents

The programme, the floor plans, the regulations, the price list, the schedule. We do not ask you to write anything from scratch.

Updated from a browser, with no involvement from us

Answers strictly from the base — the avatar does not make things up

Forbidden topics are agreed before launch

Conversation history is available in the administrator log

06Delivery options

Three options, one platform

Turnkey terminal

What we deliver
A finished terminal: enclosure, screen, audio path, server, platform.
Hardware
Entirely our responsibility.
Best fit
You want a fast launch and a single party accountable for the result.

Software on your hardware

What we deliver
The platform, the deployment, the ongoing support.
Hardware
Procured by the venue to our specification.
Best fit
You already have terminals, info stands or a server fleet.

Hybrid

What we deliver
Terminal or software at the venue, the language model on our servers in Russia.
Hardware
Procured by the venue to a lighter specification.
Best fit
You want top model quality at a low cost of entry.

All three give you the same platform and the same level of support. The choice comes down to whether the venue already has hardware, how fast you need to launch, and how demanding you are about language model quality: a fully isolated perimeter running a top-tier model needs a markedly more expensive build, and the hybrid removes that constraint.

07Track record

Where this already runs

Government customers in the Gulf

An isolated perimeter, an internal certificate authority, integration with the Nafath national citizen identity system. Arabic, including regional dialect.

Rostov region, a school museum

An avatar of the nineteenth-century mayor of Rostov-on-Don. Russian language, an audience of children.

Our own platform

A cloud system with autoscaling GPU pools runs on the same codebase as the on-site installations. In production for over a year.

Team

Eleven engineers and specialists, together since 2022

We started in medical computer vision and 3D reconstruction, with publications at IEEE and MICCAI. Today we specialise in real-time AI systems inside closed perimeters: generative face and speech models, infrastructure, security for on-premise deployments, animation and 3D graphics.

We build and maintain the entire stack ourselves — from the server to the character on the screen.

A half-hour demo and a survey of one location

We follow up with a proposal covering a concrete scenario, the scope of work, the budget and the schedule.
