Read full description

Art Gallery IQ is the AI-powered sales tool built for gallery professionals at art fairs. Type your gallery name, scan your booth, and sell with verified market intelligence — sales talking points, auction-backed valuations, negotiation strategy, and buyer profiles, all while the collector is still standing at your stand. SCAN YOUR BOOTH — NO SPREADSHEET NEEDED Photograph each artwork, then its placard. AI reads the label and fills in the title, artist, price, medium, dimensions, and year automatically. A full booth is catalogued in minutes. Already have a spreadsheet? CSV batch import gets you set up before the fair opens. SALES INTELLIGENCE Photograph an artwork and let AI generate talking points, emotional themes, career trajectory analysis, and tailored selling angles for different buyer types. VERIFIED VALUATIONS Access 143,000+ verified hammer prices from Christie's, Sotheby's, Phillips, Bonhams, and Drouot. Get a fair market value range, retail pricing suggestions, negotiation floor and walk-away point, commission splits, market timing signals, and a ready-to-use sales script with objection handlers. When an artist isn't in the auction database, Art Gallery IQ automatically searches the live web — Artsy, Artnet, MutualArt, 1stDibs — with clickable source links so you can verify every data point. SELL FASTER ON THE FLOOR Long-press any artwork to record the sale at the actual price, or log a buyer's offer in three fields. Every offer is compared against your AI valuation — see instantly whether it sits within fair market range or below your walk-away. Stale offers are flagged before you accidentally accept last week's lowball. BOOTH MANAGEMENT Track your entire fair inventory in one place. Mark artworks Available, Reserved, or Sold. Counter-offer workflows, team notes per artwork, and a live dashboard with total value, sold value, and daily sales performance. TEAM SYNC Connect iPhones and iPads to the same booth. Every scan, offer, sale price, and status change syncs across your team in real time — no shared logins, no manual updates. Works offline and catches up the moment your connection returns. COLLECTOR LEADS Every buyer who makes an offer becomes a lead: contact details, the pieces they wanted, their highest offer, and whether they bought. Export the full list as CSV when the fair closes — your follow-up pipeline, ready for Monday. BUILT FOR IPAD A full split-view experience designed for the booth counter — your inventory on the left, artwork intelligence on the right. KYC/AML COMPLIANCE Built-in checklists covering EU, UK, US, and Swiss anti-money laundering thresholds, plus an automatic reminder on sales of €10,000 or more. Stay compliant without the paperwork. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS - Free — 3 artworks, 2 live valuations and 5 AI analyses included - Starter (€19.99/month) — 15 artworks, 5 valuations/month - Professional (€49.99/month) — 50 artworks, 30 valuations/month - Enterprise (€129.99/month) — 200 artworks, unlimited valuations - Fair Pass (€39.99, one week) — 30 artworks, 15 valuations for a single fair Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
