Julia, powered by Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, uses the capabilities of GPT-4 to provide real-time, tailored recommendations based on user preferences and interests. By simply asking a question, visitors can get recommendations on nearby attractions, restaurants or historical sites.
The aim is to reduce crowds at popular tourist attractions, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, while encouraging exploration of less-visited areas, such as the Circus Mithraeum Maximus or Water Park.
A joint effort
The collaboration between the City of Rome, Microsoft, NTT DATA and Intellera has been instrumental in bringing Julia to life. By combining technological know-how with a deep understanding of Rome’s history and culture, the team has created a powerful tool that promises to transform the way visitors experience the town
The launch of Julia marks an important step forward in the evolution of tourism. By leveraging AI, cities can provide more personalized and richer experiences for visitors, while addressing the challenges of over-tourism. As AI continues to develop, we can expect even more innovative solutions that will improve the way we explore and interact with the world around us.
