Shopping Malls & Centres

Maps tell visitors where. The digital concierge tells them why.

Performit Live is the digital concierge for shopping malls — and the virtual concierge that sits above your indoor wayfinding. Lumière AI is the branded AI character that meets the visitor at the entrance, sequences the visit across zones, speaks the language the visitor brings, and represents your property at the standard your tenants demand.

What is a digital concierge?

A digital concierge is an AI character on a mall screen that guides guests, answers questions, and recommends stores in real time. It sits above your indoor wayfinding. The map shows a guest where a shop is. The digital concierge tells them where to eat, what is on, and walks them there in conversation. It advertises when idle, converses when approached, and reports what guests actually ask for.

Indoor wayfinding shows the route. It doesn't host the visit.

Most shopping malls have already solved indoor wayfinding. Pointr, Mappedin, proprietary platforms. They show every store and every route. What sits above the map is still missing. The digital concierge that meets the visitor, sequences the visit, and represents the property in its own voice.

Maps handle WHERE. Nothing in your stack handles WHY, WHAT, or HOW.
01

The Wayfinding Ceiling

You've deployed indoor wayfinding. It answers WHERE. It doesn't sequence missions across multiple zones, account for visitors arriving at different parking entrances, personalise against loyalty, or speak in the voice of the property. The next layer is missing.

02

The Language Reality

International visitor mix at flagship malls runs from 30% to nearly all visitors arriving from overseas. Information-desk teams speak two or three languages. Real-time Arabic, English, Russian, Mandarin, French, Hindi at flagship volume is structurally impossible with human-only teams.

03

The Visitor-Intent Black Hole

You track every digital interaction online. In the property, you know almost nothing about what visitors are asking, what tenants they're searching for that aren't there, or where the experience breaks. The data doesn't exist because no mechanism captures it.

04

The Brand Standard

Leading luxury maisons set the bar inside your property. The visitor experience around them has to match. A chatbot at the entrance breaks the spell. A static directory feels twenty years old. Whatever sits there has to belong on the same fashion floor.

The digital concierge that shopping malls have been missing.

Experience infrastructure, not a novelty activation.

Lumière AI deploys digital characters that interact with visitors in real time. They greet, they sequence the visit, they answer questions in the language the visitor brings, and they represent your property with the same quality of interaction every time.

Unlike a standard indoor wayfinding app, the AI host initiates. It doesn't wait to be asked. The character operates within defined behavioural boundaries. It stays on-brand, on-topic, and on-message. Across every entrance, every shift, every language.

Three layers of value from one screen.

Every screen runs three modes. When no visitor is engaging, it advertises. When someone approaches, it interacts. Everything it learns feeds back into a live mall analytics dashboard. No other platform gives shopping malls all three from a single asset.

01

Advertising

When no visitor is engaging, the screen runs branded content. Tenant promotions, event campaigns, anchor activations. The character is a new retail-media surface, a form of AI digital signage, that pays back through your existing tenant calendar. Shopping centre advertising runs in every idle moment. Demographic-aware, tenant-calendared, never dark.

02

Interaction

When a visitor approaches, the character comes to life. Real-time conversation, multi-zone wayfinding, tenant guidance, event booking. Bilingual day one, expandable to your tourist mix, with full behavioural governance to brand standards.

03

Intelligence

Every question is logged. Gaps in the knowledge base are flagged. Ongoing reporting shows you what visitors are actually asking, what tenants are surfacing as gaps, where the experience is breaking, and what to add next. The first dataset shopping malls have ever had on in-person visitor intent.

One screen. Three revenue layers.
The character advertises when idle, engages when approached, and builds mall analytics that get smarter every day.

Where the digital concierge works in shopping malls.

We're actively deploying digital concierges in shopping malls across three continents. Here's where the platform delivers the most value.

01. Centre Concierge & Indoor Wayfinding

A character at main entrances that greets visitors, provides multi-zone wayfinding, recommends stores, books experiences, and shares event information in multiple languages. Replaces the information desk that's never staffed when visitors need it.

02. Anchor & Flagship Tenant Activation

Tenant-funded branded interactions during launches, sampling moments, season activations. The character is retail-media inventory at flagship visitor scale. New revenue line that pays back the deployment, not a cost centre.

03. Multi-Site Portfolio Deployment

The same character deployed across 5, 50, or 500 properties with identical quality, identical governance, and zero variation between sites. One update to the knowledge base rolls out everywhere instantly. Your portfolio standard, enforced.

04. Vacant Unit & Common Area Activation

Activate empty units, atria, and common areas with branded host experiences during fit-out gaps, anchor turnover, or transformation phases. The visitor experience never goes dark while leasing finds the next tenant.

Every interaction generates mall analytics. Here's what that looks like.

Live dashboard. The mall analytics dashboard shows what visitors are actually asking, in real time, across every screen. Where visitors want to go, how demand shifts across zones and locations, and where the knowledge base needs expanding.

Built for shopping malls, not retrofitted from a chatbot stack.

Most "AI avatar" platforms are built for the web. Customer-service widgets dressed up as digital humans. Lumière AI is built for physical environments. Halls, kiosks, holographic displays, multi-zone properties, tenant integrations, mall-grade brand standards.

In production across three continents.

Two premium new mega malls, KSA

Branded AI host and indoor wayfinding deployed as interactive concierge across two premium new mega malls in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Visitors engage in natural Arabic and English to navigate, discover events, book experiences, and get real-time directions. Integrated directly with each property's booking and events systems.

Anthropy UK at the Eden Project

Hyper-realistic Lumière AI characters running live for three days inside Anthropy UK's Future Dome at the Eden Project. Real-time interaction with hundreds of attendees including government and enterprise decision-makers.

Global brand activations

Lumière AI characters deployed for major entertainment, OOH media, and immersive-experience brands across live activations and experiential moments. Consistent brand representation at scale across three continents.

Visual Quality. Character Behaviour. Response Control.

The bar is your tenants, not a chatbot.

Visual Quality

Characters indistinguishable from human on screen.

Character Behaviour

Natural conversational range, calibrated to your brand voice.

Response Control

Every response governed. No drift, no surprises, no legal exposure.

From brief to in-production in 8 to 16 weeks.

Nothing ships until you've signed off. Every element. Appearance, voice, knowledge base, integrations. Approved before it goes live in front of a single visitor.

01

Discover & Define

We map your property, brand, visitor mix, tenant calendar, and integration stack. Character brief signed off before anything is built.

02

Design & Build

Custom AI character. Appearance, voice, personality, knowledge base. Brand-gated from day one. Every element approved before deployment.

03

Integrate

POS, booking, events, indoor wayfinding, tenant directories, property CRM, loyalty, retail-media. Data flows both ways.

04

Launch & Refine

Character goes live. We monitor every interaction, flag unanswered questions, continuously refine the knowledge base.

05

Scale

Replicate across additional locations with zero variance. Ongoing reporting on every interaction, weekly.

Fit-out integration: 12 to 16 weeks from spec lock to in-production.
Retrofit on existing infrastructure: 8 to 10 weeks. Bilingual day one. Additional languages added without retraining.

Scoped to your property.

Every deployment is scoped against four variables: visitor volume, zone count, tenant integrations, language mix. Full commercial detail walked through on a discovery call.

Single-character flagship

One branded character deployed at a flagship property. Visitor concierge, multi-zone wayfinding, behavioural governance, integrations, ongoing knowledge-base refinement, weekly reporting.

Portfolio rollout (5+ locations)

Same character deployed across additional sites. Per-location pricing scales down. Updates to the knowledge base propagate to every site instantly. Centralised mall analytics across the portfolio.

Anchor or tenant-funded model

Retail-media revenue share offsets the deployment. The character is a paid surface during launches, sampling, and season activations. Pays back through the existing tenant calendar.

Questions mall operators ask first.

Will Lumière AI replace our existing wayfinding stack?
No. Lumière AI sits above your existing indoor wayfinding stack, not in place of it. Deployments in production today integrate with Pointr, Mappedin, and proprietary platforms. Your existing vendor stays. → See how Lumière AI and wayfinding work together: Beyond Wayfinding: The Host Layer Above the Map
Where does visitor data go?
Visitor interaction data stays in-region, residency-compliant. No personally identifiable information is stored. Conversation logs are anonymised by default. Full data-architecture brief available in advance of any procurement review.
Who owns the mall analytics dashboard data?
You do. The live dashboard shows what is being asked, where the gaps are, and where the experience is breaking. We don't sell, share, or aggregate it. Data sovereignty is your default, not a configurable option.
How long does deployment take?
Fit-out integration runs 12 to 16 weeks from spec lock to in-production. Retrofit on existing infrastructure runs 8 to 10 weeks. Bilingual day one. Additional languages added without retraining the model.
Should we specify Lumière AI during fit-out or after hard-open?
Specifying during fit-out gets the host designed into the property. Kiosk placement, screen specification, brand-finish integration. Specifying after hard-open is retrofit. Retrofit costs significantly more and rarely lands at the standard tenants demand.
Is our property the right fit?
If you're already running indoor wayfinding and starting to plan a flagship transformation, yes. If you're pre-mapping or earlier in the digital stack, the digital concierge layer comes after you've laid the WHERE foundation. We can tell in ten minutes on a call.
What hardware do we need?
A display (screen, kiosk, or holographic unit), a stable internet connection, a two-way microphone, a webcam, and a compatible PC. We provide the software and handle all configuration. The system is designed to work with hardware you may already have.
Can the same character run across multiple properties?
Yes. The same character deployed across any number of locations with identical quality and governance. Updates to the knowledge base propagate to all sites instantly. Each location's interaction data feeds into a centralised dashboard.
What is a digital concierge for shopping malls?
A digital concierge for shopping malls is an AI-powered character that activates when a visitor approaches, responds in their language, provides wayfinding, promotes tenants, and captures what visitors ask — operating 24/7 without staff.
