ChatterTuber is not just a chatbot and not just a video avatar.
It combines:
- a digital human interface
- curated local source material
- controlled answers from approved knowledge
- multilingual access
- browser-based availability
- future pathways for maps, bookings, events, directories, and live integrations
- a repeatable deployment model for new destinations and organisations
The Queenstown pilot demonstrates the core product: a conversational digital worker that can help people find services, events, directions, local products, visitor information, business support, and practical town knowledge.
The prototype proves three key things:
- A digital human can make local information easier and more natural to access.
- Curated regional knowledge creates better answers than generic AI responses.
- The same model can be reused across other towns, regions, venues, councils, tourism bodies, and business networks.
Funding allows ChatterTuber to move from a working prototype into a scalable production platform.
