Sergunina spoke about the audio guides Ruspass created with the help of AI

New audio guides for Moscow, developed using artificial intelligence technology, have appeared in the digital travel service Russpass. Thanks to them, residents and guests of the capital can learn interesting facts about the sights of the city, said Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina.

"Routes are compiled and voiced by a digital assistant. The first five of them have already been published on Russpass, and the list will grow. By the end of the year, it is planned to create audio stories about more than 1.5 thousand iconic places in the capital," Natalia Sergunina noted.

As part of the already prepared routes, you are invited to take a walk through Yauza Park, the Timiryazev State Biological Museum, Pavilion No. 29 "Floriculture and Landscaping" at VDNH, the Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other locations. A separate tour is dedicated to the works of Soviet writers, including visits to the Museum Houses of B.L. Pasternak, E.A. Yevtushenko and K.I. Chukovsky.

One of the walks is "Around and near the Kremlin", where such objects as the State Historical Museum, the Alexander Garden and Zaryadye Park with its floating bridge are presented.

Audio guides are designed in the playlist format: each point of the route is represented by a separate entry with text accompaniment and photos. This allows users to flexibly arrange the listening sequence. You can find available excursions by using the image of the virtual assistant MosKota.

The new option will also be useful for creating guided tours along individual routes. To do this, when planning trips, you need to select the places of interest, information about which has already been announced by the neural network, and enable the audio guide in the Route tab. The system itself will create walking scenarios for each day.

The Russpass project was implemented at the initiative of the Moscow government. The supervision is carried out by the Metropolitan Tourism Committee and the Information Technology Department.
