AntiqBot's answer

AntiqBot is purpose-built for antiques and art, not a general image tool. What sets it apart:

20+ category-specific modules. Silver, ceramics, porcelain, paintings, prints, tapestries and African art each get their own analysis logic, hallmark checks and red-flag rules, instead of one generic model. Grounded in recognised authorities. Every module is configured around the sources real experts consult (RKD, 925-1000.com, Kovels, Christie's, Bonhams, Mutualart, ArtPrice), so each analysis shows where the evidence sits rather than acting as a black box. A clear verdict every time. One of five authenticity tiers plus a market-based valuation, in plain language. No subscription. Sign up and get 1 free credit for your first analysis. After that, buy credit packs starting from €0.60 per analysis.

AntiqBot's answer

Specialised, not generic. Most tools run one model over everything. AntiqBot has 20+ dedicated modules for silver, ceramics, porcelain, paintings, prints, tapestries, African art and more, each with its own hallmark checks and red-flag logic. Grounded in the sources experts actually use. Every analysis is built around recognised authorities like RKD, 925-1000.com, Kovels, Christie's, Bonhams, Mutualart and ArtPrice, so you see where the evidence points instead of getting a black-box score. An answer in minutes, not days. Upload your photos and get a clear verdict plus a market-based valuation right away. No waiting list, no back-and-forth with a human queue. Honest, structured results. Every analysis lands on one of five authenticity tiers and a realistic value range, in plain language you can act on. No subscription. Sign up and get 1 free credit for your first analysis. After that, buy credit packs starting from €0.60 per analysis, a fraction of a traditional appraisal. On the spot. Use it on the web or in the iOS app, ideal for sizing up a flea-market find while you are still standing in front of it.

AntiqBot's answer

AntiqBot is for people who buy, sell or inherit antiques and art and want a fast, affordable opinion before they act, not museums or institutions.

Collectors and enthusiasts who want to verify a piece before buying, or simply understand what they already own. Flea-market, brocante and estate-sale hunters who need a quick read on a find while they are still standing in front of it. Resellers and small dealers on Catawiki, eBay, Vinted or local auctions who authenticate and price before they list. People who inherited or cleared out a house and have no idea whether an object is a valuable original or a later reproduction.

AntiqBot's answer

AntiqBot started on the other side of the table, with a dealer instead of a developer. Its founder works in the antiques trade week in, week out: flea markets, brocante, estate clearances, auction rooms. With almost every object the same two questions came back, is this authentic, and what is it really worth. The available answers were either slow and expensive, send photos to a human expert and wait days, or fast and useless, a generic AI that has never heard of a silver hallmark or an RKD record. So he built the tool he wished he had. Not one model trying to know everything, but a set of category-specific modules, each grounded in the references real experts consult: RKD for paintings and prints, 925-1000.com for silver marks, Kovels for ceramics, the big auction houses for value. The idea was simple, give a collector standing at a market stall the same kind of structured judgment a specialist would reach, in minutes and for a few cents. AntiqBot is still run hands-on by that same one-person operation, improved continuously, and used by collectors and resellers across Europe and beyond.

AntiqBot's answer

AntiqBot serves individual collectors, brocante hunters and small resellers rather than large enterprise accounts. Its customers are private individuals across Europe and beyond, which is why we don't publish customer names.
