Israeli Xsite Breaks Records: Selected for PhocusWire's List of the 25 Hottest Startups in the World
Double recognition in less than half a year places Xsite as one of the most prominent and promising companies in the field of museum and tourism experience technology.
The Israeli Technology That is Changing the Museum Experience:
Xsite, founded in 2023 by Shahar Germback and Shay Davis, is revolutionizing the way museums and tourist sites convey their content to the public. The company's technology is already operating at leading sites including: The Israel Museum (the largest museum in Israel), the Tower of David Museum, the Eretz Israel Museum, the Holocaust Museum in the USA and an AI-based self-guided tour in the footsteps of Anne Frank in Amsterdam.
The Breakthrough: Any Museum Can Create High-Quality Content in Minutes:
Xsite's groundbreaking step is Xsite Studio - a unique platform in closed beta for a select number of partners. Until today, creating immersive media required huge budgets, large production teams and long timelines. Xsite Studio changes the game completely: the platform allows museums and heritage sites, large and small, to create rich and engaging content in minutes - at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional production processes.
Xsite Studio analyzes materials using AI and creates accurate and compelling stories and scripts, narration, sound, music and video - all in one intuitive interface. The AI guide also creates personalized routes, provides interactive real-time answers and adapts the content to the age, interests and preferred channels of each visitor - in voice or text, in multiple languages, using a simple QR scan, without the need to download an app.
The Change is Already Here - Today's Visitors Want Something Different:
The numbers speak for themselves: about 41% of travelers worldwide today prefer an independent visit without a guide, and about 33% of museums and cultural sites already offer independent tours. Short visual content has become the preferred medium, replacing traditional audio guides. The modern audience is looking for personal, visual and interactive experiences that engage all the senses and speak directly to them. This is where Xsite comes in, allowing every visit to become an active and meaningful journey of discovery.
"Our vision is to make world-class storytelling experiences accessible to every museum and tourist site - regardless of size or budget," says Shahar Germback, co-founder of Xsite. "Even small institutions can now produce experiences that compete with the world's largest museums."
