“I want pieces that build a coherent thesis. Not what’s hot. What’s mine.”
By.ai gives galleries, wine merchants, auction houses, watch dealers, and specialty retailers the AI infrastructure to deliver clienteling at the standard their best collectors expect — across every collector, every channel.
“I want pieces that build a coherent thesis. Not what’s hot. What’s mine.”
“I’ve been looking for this specific thing for a long time. I don’t need more options.”
The painting is the wrong answer for one of them. The right one for the other. The problem with most clienteling tech is that it treats collectors like consumers — and shows them what’s popular instead of what’s theirs.
By.ai is built on the opposite premise: that taste is personal, that history compounds, and that the right next acquisition is always the one that fits.
When your senior advisor retires, leaves, or just goes on vacation, the relationship goes with them. The CRM has the email address. It doesn’t have the taste profile.
The collectors who don’t get the white-glove treatment from your top advisor are the ones whose relationships go cold. Not because they’re less important — because there isn’t a system that knows them.
When new inventory comes in, matching it to the right collector is a memory exercise. Pieces sit. Collectors miss the thing they would have loved.
Collector Intelligence brings the four By.ai roles into a single layer across your collector relationships — outreach, discovery, in-gallery conversations, and post-acquisition follow-up.
Built on the By.ai Advisor
Talks to collectors in your brand’s voice — across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and your gallery’s preferred channels — with full context and memory of every previous conversation and acquisition.
Built on the By.ai Curator
Scores every piece in your inventory against the collector asking — with the same eye your senior advisor would bring. Surfaces the pieces that fit. Skips the ones that don’t.
Built on the By.ai Persona Designer
Builds a living understanding of every collector — their collection, taste, history with your gallery, unspoken pursuits — into a profile that compounds with every interaction.
Built on the By.ai Researcher
Reads the market, artist news, auction results, editorial coverage — and synthesizes the context that turns an acquisition recommendation into a real case.
A piece comes in. Your Curator scores it against every collector in your database, surfaces the three or four for whom it’s a real match, and explains why for each. Your senior advisor reviews in seconds and decides who to reach out to first.
Your Collector Advisor drafts the outreach — in your gallery’s voice, with the specific reasoning that makes it feel like a thoughtful note, not a blast. Your advisor reviews, edits, sends.
A collector asks: “anything new I should know about?” Your Researcher pulls relevant market context, recent acquisitions in their taste, editorial coverage they’d care about. Your Collector Advisor delivers it as a curated note.
Collector Intelligence is built for galleries, auction houses, wine merchants, fine watch and jewelry dealers, rare book sellers, and specialty retailers where the long-term collector relationship is the product. If your team is delivering thoughtful, personal clienteling to your best collectors and looking for the infrastructure to extend that quality across your full client list — we should talk.
