AI for Cultural Heritage
Metadata, storytelling, and visitor agents that help cultural institutions do more with their collections — without adding headcount.
The problem
Cultural institutions are custodians of vast, irreplaceable collections, yet most are chronically under-resourced. Catalogue records are incomplete or inconsistent across standards. Migrations between systems take months of manual mapping. Digitised documents, manuscripts, and scans sit unindexed because extracting metadata by hand is impossible at scale. And the same small team that manages the collection is expected to produce exhibit labels, tours, articles, and social content in multiple languages, while answering visitor questions on every channel.
The result is knowledge locked in collections that neither the institution nor the public can fully access.
How Evolvable helps
Evolvable's Cultural Inheritance agents are built specifically for collection workflows and the standards the sector actually uses — Dublin Core, EDM, MARC, LIDO. They audit and score catalogue quality, generate reusable crosswalk mappings between schemas, and extract structured metadata from PDFs, scans, and manuscripts with confidence scores so curators know where to look.
From that foundation, the Storytelling Creator turns collection metadata into audience-tailored, multilingual narratives, and the Visitor Support Agent helps the public navigate collections across web, kiosk, and mobile. Every agent runs under the same guardrails, access controls, and audit trail as Evolvable's enterprise agents, and can be deployed on-premise or air-gapped for institutions with sensitive or restricted holdings.
