It’s your knowledge that counts. Not the technology.
The platform operates in the background.
Anyone who has looked after a mill for thirty years knows more about it than any agency. It is precisely this knowledge that goes into the app: your words, your photos, your voice. All the technology required for this is built in, so you don’t have to worry about it.
No registration required: Create your first experience below and see straight away how it’s received by guests.
Three steps to creating your own app.
Set your first location, tell the first story and choose the building blocks that fit. What you create here is no mere demonstration: you are laying the foundation for your finished tour.
No account, no appointment, no activation. Start at the bottom and see what you’ve created on the phone next to it. The draft remains in your browser.
What is your organisation all about?
Or click directly on the location on the map. The location search uses OpenStreetMap – that’s all: no account required, and no data is sent to us.
Figures measured from your own system.
Data protection to a high standard: all analyses run in ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany, alongside your content. Your guests stay anonymous, with no intrusive cookie prompts or third-party trackers.
Campaigns become measurable
Every QR code, every leaflet, every press and social media post has its own entry point into the app. This means you can see in black and white which campaign brought in guests, when the peak periods were, and which channel is worth investing in. Next time, you can allocate your budget where it will have the greatest impact.
Figures that demonstrate success
We collect our figures ourselves, rather than relying on external analyses. Identify successful initiatives directly within the system to inform your communications. For annual reports, statements of expenditure and to determine whether a project has had an impact.
Planning locations and times
When do your visitors arrive, where do they come from, and what language do they speak? Hourly visitor numbers, languages and entry points provide you with the answers you need for opening hours, guided tours and your next location. This allows you to plan for the coming season based on data and then check whether your plan has worked out.
The access statistics do not set any cookies or create any profiles. The app itself only uses cookies that are technically necessary, such as for the selected language; these do not require consent.
Save time with our AI assistants
Expertise needs room: save yourself time-consuming routine tasks such as transcription, voice-overs, accessibility descriptions or multilingual versions. Intelligent workflows take care of the legwork in no time, so you can concentrate fully on your curatorial core work.
The first sentence is the hardest
You have the knowledge and the sources, but it takes a whole afternoon to put it into words. Our system automatically generates a draft based on your keywords, which you can then shorten, refine and adapt linguistically.
An audio piece recorded without a sound studio
Audio guides require a voice-over fee, a recording session and post-production. We automatically turn your approved text into an audio track: either as a calm narrative voice or as a dialogue between two characters.
Guests who do not speak German
Write it once, make it available in up to eight languages. Make use of our automatic translation service, which also offers simple or child-friendly language options.
Making descriptions accessible
Not every exhibit still exists or has been preserved. Using a description or a photograph, our system automatically generates a rotatable 3D model that your guests can explore in three dimensions.
Accessibility – done properly
Our system automatically analyses your images and suggests a description for each one, including descriptions for screen readers. This ensures that your image captions meet the requirements of BITV 2.0. All you need to do is confirm.
Creating interactive experiences
Create quiz questions, puzzles and interactive language activities automatically from the chapter you’ve already written. This allows you to generate a knowledge assessment activity with just one click.
Technology suggests; you decide.
Only you can assess the value of the information in your project. Our AI toolkit is therefore designed to lay the groundwork for you and make the process more straightforward. You always retain control over your data.
- Nothing appears without being checked
- Every suggestion appears as a draft in the editor, not in the app. Only what you approve is published, just as with everything you write yourself.
- The handwriting remains yours
- The suggestions are based on your sources and your guidelines. If anything doesn’t fit, simply overwrite it; if anything is missing, add it. We offer plenty of suggestions, but the final decision is yours.
- Optional, on request
- Do you need AI support? If so, please get in touch. You do not need your own accounts with AI providers; we handle the processing on your behalf, and this is covered under data processing on our behalf.
Your processes remain the same; the erleben.app system adapts to them.
Are you already using a system that we can build on? We’ve probably already got the right interface.
We already offer interfaces to many solutions that are used on a daily basis by museums, local authorities, clubs and tourism organisations. Through destination.one, for example, places, tours and restaurants – including their opening hours – are imported directly from the database into your project: those who maintain the data there do not need to keep duplicate records. We import the database content in real time.
Destination.one
POIs, tours and restaurants, including opening hours, can be imported directly.
YouTube
Data-efficient video embedding in chapters; ‘no-cookie’ mode by default.
Cal.com
Book appointments and tours directly from a POI section, including via Google Appointment Schedules and other tools that support embedding.
Website import
We automatically adopt the colour schemes and favicon from your existing website and use them to build your corporate identity, which you can then customise as required.
iFrame embedding
External widgets, maps and donation tools can be embedded anywhere. If there is a secure URL, it goes in this section.
Calendly
Book guided tours and consultation slots directly within the POI section, without having to go via the website.
Newsletter subscription
Registration forms for events and updates, integrated with your existing newsletter service.
Events calendar (ICS)
The event calendar from your organisation is automatically displayed in the app, and dates remain synchronised.
OpenStreetMap
Walking routes, points of interest and maps from Open Data, with no additional costs for proprietary mapping services.
Social media integration
Recent posts from Instagram and Facebook organised into sections, without having to enter everything twice.
Can’t see your system listed? As long as there is a documented interface or a regular export function, we can integrate it. Just let us know what you’re using.
Create your first attraction.
Drop a pin on the map, add your text, click the building blocks you want: your station appears in the mobile preview straight away. It takes barely two minutes and works right in the browser, with no registration and no email address.
Better to be direct
Give us a call, and we can sort out a lot of things in five minutes. Or drop us a line to let us know what you’re planning, and we’ll get back to you with our assessment.
