FAQ

Questions before you decide

The short answers to what institutions ask us most about formats, costs and content.

Read all FAQs →
What's the difference between Lite, Lite Plus and AI?

Lite delivers one prepared story, written, recorded and animated before launch. Lite Plus adds a menu of prepared topics visitors choose from, with every answer still scripted in advance. AI answers in real time from your approved knowledge, so visitors ask their own questions and follow up.

How much does a Talking Paintings project cost?

It depends on the character, content scope, animation, voice, languages, hardware and installation, and on whether you choose On-Premise or Hybrid for AI. On-Premise means fixed operating costs with no usage fees; Hybrid lowers the upfront investment. The best first step is a short conversation about your project.

Can our team update the content ourselves?

Yes, with Talking Paintings AI. The Character Editor is included, so your staff can add facts, upload documents and adjust the character's behaviour without a new production round. Lite and Lite Plus content is updated as a production step.

Can we start with Lite or Lite Plus and move to AI later?

Yes, the character concept carries over. Moving to AI still means knowledge preparation, conversation design, AI setup, voice integration and testing, so it's its own project rather than a same-day upgrade.

Does the AI character learn from visitor conversations?

No. It never trains on what visitors say, and visitor text isn't stored by default. Its knowledge only changes when your team updates it.

What if I only need Talking Paintings for a short event?

Rent an existing character instead of building one. Hardware, setup and support are included, with no long-term commitment. It's ideal for trade fairs, festivals and conferences, or for testing the format before a custom build.
