Today, La Poste and Ask Mona invite you to write to History.
La Poste unveils a world first: the first “talking” stamp powered by artificial intelligence.
Created in collaboration with Ask Mona, this collector’s stamp featuring Winston Churchill allows anyone to engage in conversation with an avatar of the famous British statesman.
To mark the sixtieth anniversary of his passing, La Poste and the French Chapter of the International Churchill Society are celebrating one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century.
Visionary, charismatic orator, and Companion of the Liberation, the former British Prime Minister remains a timeless symbol of resistance and freedom. With this collector’s stamp, the tribute takes on a new and unprecedented form.
Exchanging with a living archive, that is the ambition of this remarkable project. By simply scanning the integrated QR code, anyone can converse with an animated avatar and receive answers drawn from biographical sources validated by the French chapter of the Churchill Society.
History becomes a conversation, vivid, animated by trustworthy AI, and accessible to all.
Behind this innovation lies the real-time conversational technology developed by Ask Mona. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and trustworthy data, the stamp bridges philatelic tradition and digital innovation.
As Marion Carré, co-founder and CEO of Ask Mona, explains:
“This stamp perfectly embodies our vision: using artificial intelligence to convey History in a new way. Thanks to this project, everyone can experience a new way of accessing knowledge. It’s a world first and proof that innovation and heritage can strengthen one another.”
This project illustrates how AI can transform everyday objects into interactive and engaging media.
Already used by institutions such as the Palace of Versailles, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Ask Mona’s technology now reaches a new milestone: the era of augmented objects.
Tomorrow, we might imagine a package that responds, a poster that speaks, or a work of art that tells its own story.
For cultural institutions and brands alike, it opens a new way to inspire curiosity, foster proximity, and above all, create emotion.
With this groundbreaking stamp, La Poste and Ask Mona go beyond paying tribute to a hero of the Second World War.
They usher in a new generation of intelligent objects, capable of telling stories, teaching, and moving us.
Don’t miss this world premiere, and let the “Old Lion” answer you.
