Common questions
Coverage, sourcing, languages, and pricing.
What is TAIA?+
TAIA (Travel Artificial Intelligence Agent) is an AI agent for travel built on a real cultural-heritage corpus. It turns premium tourism guidebooks and magazines from Gilgamesh Magazine into interactive objects with AI summaries, question answering, audio overviews, and cover art.
Which destinations does TAIA cover today?+
Istanbul is covered in full across five titles: Along the Bosphorus, Stones of Sultanahmet, Museums of Istanbul, Istanbul on a Plate, and Parks & Shores. Editions for Barcelona, Paris, and an English translation of the Persian 100 Heritage of Iran are in production.
Does TAIA invent facts about places?+
No. TAIA reasons only over real source text from the underlying publications. When a document does not contain enough real text to answer, the system returns an error instead of inventing an answer, and every fact the agent states is sourced from a tool call against the catalogue.
Who is TAIA for?+
Three audiences: professional tour guides who brief groups daily, agencies and institutions such as operators, DMOs, museums and publishers, and independent travellers who want a guide's depth of research.
What languages does TAIA support?+
Seven locales, including English, Persian, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, and Arabic. Persian is rendered right-to-left, and site legends for landmarks are annotated in the reader's active language.
How much do the publications cost?+
Pricing varies per title, and some titles are free. Istanbul on a Plate is free to read. Editions still in production cannot be purchased yet — you can register interest and be notified at launch, and nothing is charged.
