The Musée Fesch app

The Musée Fesch is a cultural symbol of the city of Ajaccio, in Corsica, the beautiful island where the GoodBarber magic happens. The museum now boasts a state of the art app with one of our favorite innovations of 2015. It is indeed iBeacons compliant so that content launches automatically along the visitor’s path, thanks to the beacons set up throughout the museum and the bluetooth signal they emit. A pioneering project!

The Istanbul, Curated app

It's always exciting to discover that our app builder is being used to create Beautiful Apps throughout the world. In that respect, The Istanbul, Curated app is a project we enjoyed stumbling upon. With an interactive map and its many points of interest, neighborhood guides and plenty of useful resources such as the Istanbul metro map or Turkish words and phrases, it is definitely an essential pocket companion. The cherry on top? The app’s visual imagery is beautifully hand-drawn.

Turn documents into answers with GoodBarber Chatbot

In any app, publishing a useful document is only part of the job. People also need to find the right information when they are about to act. A clearly named file helps someone browsing a library, but a reader may arrive with a more immediate question.Employee communication is only one possible application. The same approach can support learning resources, member guides, technical references or any other useful documents shared through an app. For our example, consider a colleague trying to book a client trip who needs to know:Which travel expenses need prior approval?We have added document sources to GoodBarber Chatbot so that the files you already maintain can support these conversations. You select the documents. Users ask in their own words. The assistant looks for relevant passages and uses them to build a response.The question becomes a way into the policy. Employees can start with the decision in front of them, even when they do not know the title of the document that explains it.

Siri Actions: ask your GoodBarber iOS app for its latest article or video

Siri Actions now answers two new questions: the latest article and the latest video in a section of a GoodBarber iOS app. Siri names the item and offers to open it by voice. They reach every app with its next store update. Siri Actions is the set of questions a GoodBarber iOS app answers out loud, for newspapers, radio stations, schools, organizations and any app that publishes content. Its first question, "What's new", gives an overview of your home screen. When we launched it in September 2026, we said the next one would be the latest article in a section. Here it is, and the latest video comes with it. Each goes straight to one item and offers to open it. Your audience goes from a question to the article in a single conversation, without searching for it.
