Explore your school. Meet your AI guide.
TourAI creates interactive AI-powered 3D school experiences. Visitors explore the campus, chat with AI guides, answer three short questions for a personalized tour, and schools embed everything via a widget on their own site. Campus scanners enable capture. The experience is the product.

Who builds this
“We felt the discovery gap as students at CSB. So we are building TourAI together: 3D campus experiences with an AI layer schools can embed.”
- Julian Schoonhoven (H5D) & Calvin Wen (H5C)
- Built at CSB Amsterdam
- Dual builders · product + research mindset
Physical open days cannot reach every future student
Distance, timing, and incomplete discovery leave families guessing. While admissions still needs a credible way to show campus life and subjects.
Far
Reach limited by travel
Distance and travel
Families far from campus cannot easily attend every open day, so the school stays abstract until it is almost too late.
Fixed
Dates that exclude many
Timing that misses people
One weekend slot cannot serve every schedule. Interested students miss the only chance to walk the halls.
Surface
Shallow subject insight
Incomplete discovery
A rushed tour rarely answers deep subject questions. Visitors leave without a real feel for departments and daily life.
TourAI: scan the campus, then let AI guide discovery
Schools turn a campus scan into an interactive 3D experience with an AI tour guide, subject specialists, and an embeddable widget. Branded as their school.
Step 1
Scan the campus
Capture the physical school so it becomes a navigable digital 3D environment visitors can explore remotely.
Step 2
Add the AI layer
Layer an AI tour guide and subject specialist AIs on top, personalized by three short pre-tour questions.
Step 3
Embed with your brand
Publish a widget on the school website so families discover campus life inside your own channels.

TourAI AI Guide
Campus guide · visitor · subject specialist
Welcome. Based on your three answers, I’ll start near the science wing and the main atrium. Want a walkthrough or jump to a subject?
GuideShow me what a typical biology class feels like here.
AskHere’s the lab zone in 3D, plus how practicals usually run. Ask about electives, projects, or what first-years notice most.
SubjectWhat TourAI puts on the school site
Directional product capabilities. Not invented performance KPIs.
Core experience
Explore in 3D
Visitors move through a digital campus environment built from a school scan. Halls, spaces, and atmosphere at their own pace.
AI tour guide
A conversational AI guide helps families navigate the experience and understand what they are seeing.
Subject specialists
Dedicated subject AIs go deeper on departments and courses when a visitor wants richer academic context.
Pre-tour questions
Three short questions personalize the tour so the guide can prioritize interests before exploration starts.
School branding
The experience presents as your school. Visual identity and tone that fit admissions and communications.
Embeddable widget
Drop TourAI into an existing school web page so discovery lives where families already look.
Champion → pilot page → families
Start with the person who owns discovery messaging, prove one embedded campus page, then share it where families already look.
- 01
Find an admissions champion
Partner with admissions or communications. The team that feels open-day limits and wants a branded digital path for distant families.

We lived the discovery gap. Then we started building TourAI.
Julian Schoonhoven and Calvin Wen are building TourAI at CSB Amsterdam. Interactive AI-powered 3D school experiences families can actually use.
Where it started
We are students at CSB Amsterdam. We watched open days and campus discovery fail people who live too far away, cannot make the date, or leave with only surface-level subject answers. TourAI started as a practical response: scan the school, make it explorable in 3D, add an AI guide layer, and put the experience on the school’s own site. Light PWS research context helped us stay honest about privacy and what schools should (and should not) collect.
Why now
Schools already market online, but remote visitors still cannot feel campus space or ask a guide that knows subjects. Modern 3D capture plus conversational AI finally make an interactive, branded discovery layer realistic. Without pretending a scanner alone is the product.
What most demos miss
A pretty walkthrough is not enough. Families need personalization, subject depth, and an embed that looks like the school. Scanner rent or buy only enables the capture. The product is the always-on experience admissions can publish.
Dual builders on purpose
TourAI is not a solo founder myth. Julian and Calvin build side by side: campus experience, AI layer, and school-facing embed. We want partners in admissions and communications who will pilot one page with real families. Not a YC narrative or an invented US stadium expansion.
School obsession
We talk to people who run discovery: admissions, communications, leadership, and families who need more than one open-day weekend. Features on this page map to that gap. Distance, timing, subject depth, branding, and embed - not fake logos or partnership name-drops.
What is still hard
Getting a first campus page live takes coordination: scan quality, AI context schools trust, and branding that fits. We are early, honest about privacy, and focused on pilots that schools can actually publish.
North star
Make interactive AI campus discovery normal for schools that care about reach and clarity. Starting in Amsterdam, growing through Dutch schools and European education, then into broader markets when the core experience is solid.
