The Ultimate Biennale Companion presents a digital prototype developed in collaboration with the Canadian AI research studio Innervation that helps visitors navigate and understand the Biennale Architettura 2025’s exhibitions and presentations. As a pilot for a new app, it uses large language models to create personalized biennale visit itineraries and augmented translation for Biennale content.

New possibilities to create a personalised itinerary and bespoke AI guide

Amidst all exhibition content it remains for most Biennale visitors a struggle to effectively plan their time at the Biennale. The Ultimate Biennale Companion, a digital prototype that helps visitors navigate and understand the Biennale Architettura 2025’s exhibitions and presentations, was developed in collaboration with Innervation, Canada’s most advanced Multi-Agent AI platform. As a pilot for a new app, bespoke multi-agent systems (MAS) were designed to create personalized biennale visit itineraries, augmented real-time translation of Biennale content, and image-recognition based interactions. This is experienced via an advanced AI ‘tour guide’ that learns from you and tailors its explanations, interaction style, and suggestions to your specific situation.

June update: The app is in an testing phase at the moment. To get an impression of the functionality you can find these two pre loaded profiles and their correspondence with the AI Guide for Stephan (44, architecture historian) and Pjotr (25, plumber)
