Hermes

The Central Hub

Ingest from any source — feeds, PDFs, APIs, scrapers. Normalize, deduplicate, and semantically link your data. Built-in rights and quality gates verify every dataset before it enters the knowledge graph.

Ingestion

Every source, one truth.

Hermes connects to hundreds of data sources simultaneously. Every input is parsed, classified, and tagged with source metadata before normalization.

API & Feed Connectors

Direct integrations with event platforms, cultural databases, and municipal systems.

Document Processing

AI-powered extraction from PDFs, press releases, and unstructured web content.

Quality Gates

Rights verification, PII redaction, and schema validation before entering the graph.

Culture API

Search by meaning, not just keywords.

REST access to the whole knowledge graph — structured filters plus vector search. Every record is multilingually embedded and discoverable by semantic similarity.

Vector search built inEvery event, venue, artist indexed as an embedding. Ask for “family-friendly outdoor events on a rainy Saturday” — and get the right hits.
Multilingual from day oneEmbeddings span all 10 languages. A query in Japanese surfaces Salzburg events originally captured in German.
Hybrid rankingStructured filters (region, date, accessibility) combined with semantic similarity. Precise where it has to be, fluent where it matters.

Lens

Curated worlds, not endless lists.

Group offerings by mood, audience, or theme — automatically. Lens turns the graph into curated collections that surface meaning, not just matches.

Theme worldsAuto-generated dossiers around a place, period, or motif — “Mozart in Salzburg,” “Family Sundays,” “Rainy-day indoor culture.”
Semantic collectionsSave a query as a living feed. The collection updates as new events match — no manual curation, no stale lists.
Cross-language discoverySearch in any of 10 languages, find matches in any. A French query surfaces German-only events; an Arabic query reaches Italian listings.
Location Intelligence

Score any address, in milliseconds.

Hand any coordinate or address to the API and get a cultural fingerprint back — density, diversity, vibe tags, accessibility, and the LeisureIndex for that exact spot.

Micro-location scoringLeisureIndex per address, not per district. A street corner in Salzburg scores differently than the next block — and the API tells you why.
Vibe tagsAtmosphere, target groups, and energy levels distilled from every nearby venue and event. Useful for hotel concierges, real estate, and route planners.
On-the-fly evaluationQuery before you sign a lease, plan a route, or place a tour stop. No pre-computed cache — every score is fresh from the live graph.
