The Vučedol Culture Museum wanted to offer visitors a new digital experience — a blend of tradition and technology.
The goal was to create a voice assistant that speaks, explains, and guides visitors through Vučedol culture — as if you were talking to a curator from the future.
That’s how TEO was created — the museum’s digital voice guide. TEO — digitalni glasnogovornik muzeja.
What TEO does
-
Answers questions about museum exhibits and the history of Vučedol
-
Explains concepts, myths, and archaeological findings in clear, natural language
-
Recognizes visitors’ interests and adapts the conversation
-
Speaks in a pleasant, natural voice (ElevenLabs) and uses a personalized AI model (ChatGPT API)
-
Integrated with automation via n8nenabling continuous content updates and the addition of new information
How we created TEO
- Museum content analysis — curators provided texts and descriptions of exhibits
- Prompt logic design — each part of the interpretation was structured into AI dialogue that delivers an educational story through voice
- Voice creation — using ElevenLabs technology, a unique voice for TEO was developed, inspired by the authentic tone of the Slavonian accent
- Automation — n8n connects TEO with the museum’s knowledge base and enables dynamic responses
- Live testing — the agent was tested in the museum and refined based on visitor feedback
Why this matters
The Vučedol Culture Museum became the first museum in Croatia to use an AI voice assistant for education and the interpretation of cultural heritage.
TEO connects the past and the future — showing that artificial intelligence can serve culture, not replace it.
