Walkie Talkie runs on reliable, fast servers in Frankfurt, Germany that are not owned by big tech.

We chose EU hosting specifically because European privacy laws are stronger than US alternatives.

I’m the same for the most part. I never do a full tour either. But I do love hearing the story behind that one piece that stops me in my tracks. That's why we made it work per exhibit or piece - just scan what catches your eye, skip the rest. No downloads, signup or data collection.

Building for museums has taught us that 'mobile-first' doesn't mean 'app-first.' Most visitors don't want another app cluttering their phone—they want instant access to deeper stories. Web browsers are the most universal platform we have.

We are also the creators of Opus Classics.

A beautiful app classic literature and art.

Call us boring, BUT: The future of visitor experiences isn't in VR headsets, complex AR or reality bending AI - it's in making the technology we're already using work invisibly and effortlessly.

Simplicity always wins. #MuseumTech #Audioguides #MuseumEd

Why the Audio Guide Revolution is Finally Here (And It’s Not What You Think) How a simple QR code is quietly transforming museum experiences

700MB app downloads, device queues, content that takes months to update.

The museum audio guide is broken. Time to fix it.

Wrote for Medium about the quiet revolution happening in cultural institutions worldwide 🎧

Happy International Museum Day!

Museums are democracy in action - preserving memory while shaping how we see ourselves and each other. In our fractured world, they remain spaces where complexity is embraced and 'I don't understand' becomes invitation, not dismissal.

#internationalmuseumday

Museums are my third spaces - where curiosity gets rewarded and perspective shifts happen. They're the antidote to echo chambers, offering curated encounters with ideas and cultures beyond our daily bubbles. Plus, they're democratic: art for everyone, regardless of background.

Great stuff!

International Museum Day feels more relevant than ever - a celebration of spaces that anchor us to truth, beauty and shared understanding when so much feels adrift.

Here's to the institutions that make space for nuance in a world that increasingly resists it!

Thanks for sharing! We love how QR codes simplify the experience. Do you typically listen to most audio guides throughout an exhibition, or just for select pieces that particularly resonate with you?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Exactly, you are paying someone else’s inference costs (summarizing emails and making pictures of themselves as action figures). 🤓

Companies hook you with AI features at artificially low prices, then once you've built dependencies and workflows around them, they suddenly "discover" the true costs. I fear we’ve only seen the beginning of this.

This Hilma af Klint audio guide demonstrates the text-to-speech technology available on our platform - sounds pretty great, huh?

You can also utilize existing recordings. Either way, visitors just scan a QR code to listen.

Notable that they're emphasizing 'no app downloads' for the audio experience. Shows they understand visitor friction points. Museums are finally recognizing that technology should remove barriers, not create new ones.
