"If only statues could talk... Well, at Versailles, they can."
"Powered by the artificial intelligence (AI) platform Ask Mona and the tech giant OpenAI, the app allows visitors to speak with 20 statues in three languages."
"Each exchange reveals anecdotes, historical accounts and often little-known details, enriching our exploration of the gardens and our understanding of Versailles' heritage,"
"Ah, becoming rich is an enigma that even my Sphinx is unable to solve! But remember: the source of true riches is, perhaps, love, which subdues all of life's enigmas."
An AI-powered app enables visitors to converse with 20 statues located throughout the Versailles gardens, including Apollo and Cupid atop a Sphinx. The system uses the Ask Mona platform and OpenAI technology and offers interactions in three languages. Each exchange provides anecdotes, historical accounts and often little-known details that enrich exploration of the gardens and deepen understanding of Versailles' heritage. Visitors can pose questions and receive imaginative, characterful responses; for example, when a teenage boy asked the Cupid statue about becoming rich, the statue replied that wealth is an enigma and suggested love as the source of true riches.
