What Chiaro is

Chiaro is an AI navigation app that converts photos into audio explanations. The site is organised around taking a photo, listening and exploring, with art and landmarks as the target subjects.

It turns the situation of seeing something without knowing what it is into an audio introduction straight after the shot.

What you can do with it

  • Photograph an artwork and hear an explanation
  • Get background on buildings and landmarks
  • Explore a city without reading long panels
  • Turn what you see into audio for later

Who it is for

  • Travellers
  • Museum and gallery visitors
  • Families exploring with children
  • People who prefer listening to reading

What to watch out for

  • Recognition quality depends on camera angle, light and how clear the subject is
  • Explanations suit quick understanding, not scholarly interpretation
  • Some venues ban or restrict photography; check before shooting
  • Identification errors are possible; confirm anything you plan to repeat as fact
