This could let users explore cultural content more intuitively, as the visual search lets them start from images and the AI experiments let them interact with historical figures, potentially increasing engagement with museum collections.
The expanded City Guide, adding 27 new destinations, could make the app more useful for travelers seeking cultural highlights, suggesting broader adoption beyond traditional museum visitors.
