Dublin leads the world with AI tour guide
Smart Dublin introduced the world’s first AI-powered tour guide as part of its designation as the European Capital of Smart Tourism in 2024. Now he’s ready to take tourists and locals alike on a walk through the city.
Brendan delivers AI-powered audio content on more than 500 cultural and historical spots across the city, using geolocation to provide real-time narration wherever you go, delivered in a locally inspired storytelling style.
This summer, language support will be expanded to include Spanish and plans for Irish language support are in motion.
“This is a novel project for Dublin, where technology and culture intersect to create a unique experience for visitors,” said Nollaig Fahy, smart tourism manager, Dublin City Culture Company. “With Brendan, we are not only embracing the future of tourism, but also reaffirming our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and making cultural access more inclusive than ever.”
The implementation of this innovative AI-Guide has been made possible by a strategic partnership between the Smart Dublin initiative and the startup CityMe AI, through a dedicated workshop held in Dublin, in collaboration with OpenAI.
“We are excited to partner with Smart Dublin to bring this vision to life,” said Guido Schinocca, founder of CityMe AI. “Brendan represents the future of city exploration, blending the latest in AI technology with the rich history and culture of Dublin.”
Brendan is available on the App Store, the Play Store, or the CityMe AI website.
