Bucharest, 28 June 2024 - DRUID, a leader in advanced AI solutions, proudly announces the launch of “Mircea”, an innovative AI virtual assistant for the National Museum of Romanian History (MNIR), designed in collaboration with the Friends of the Romanian History Museum Foundation (PMIR). This exciting development aims to enhance visitor interactions and deepen their understanding of Romania's rich history.
The launch of the AI cultural virtual assistant of mnir.ro marks a significant step forward in digital cultural engagement. Being placed on the mnir.ro website, “Mircea” is available 24/7 to make the historical resources more accessible to a broader audience, offering real-time, intuitive responses to visitors' inquiries about historical events, figures, and exhibitions.
Dr. Ernest Oberländer-Târnoveanu, Director of MNIR, expressed his enthusiasm for the new digital tools: "Introducing Mircea, a pioneering AI chatbot for Romanian museums, represents a breakthrough in how we connect with our audience. We anticipate it will become an indispensable resource for both casual visitors and history enthusiasts."
The AI technology behind Mircea was meticulously developed by DRUID, integrating extensive historical data validated by MNIR to ensure accuracy and relevance. "Our collaboration with MNIR and PMIR reflects our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to make cultural and historical knowledge more accessible and engaging," said Liviu Drăgan, founder and CEO of DRUID. "Mircea is more than a chatbot; it is a new gateway to exploring Romania's heritage, demonstrating the potential of AI to revolutionize the cultural sector."
The redevelopment of the MNIR website and the introduction of Mircea are part of a broader initiative to transform how cultural institutions engage with the public. This project showcases DRUID's expertise in creating sophisticated AI solutions that cater to diverse fields, including cultural heritage.
Visitors to the MNIR's new website can now explore a vast array of exhibitions, participate in upcoming events, and delve into Romania's history with Mircea, accessible 24/7 at www.mnir.ro/Mircea. This initiative not only enhances the digital visitor experience but also sets a new standard for interactive museum offerings.
