A few things to know

This independent prototype is not affiliated with Gouda Tijdmachine, the museums, or the city. History is curated from the sources above; AI can make mistakes.

Camera: nothing is sent until you tap the scan button. That single image is processed by OpenAI. We don’t save your images or chat on this server. Optional approximate location is sent only with an identification request.

Voice: starting a call sends microphone audio directly to OpenAI. You can interrupt, mute by ending the call, or continue by text. Provider data policies apply. Calls stop after five minutes.

Time travel: authentic archival photographs and artwork. The overlay is manually aligned; viewpoints differ. Glowing details are editorial markers on the Stadhuis sample photograph. They aren’t tracked in the camera.
