CollecteurAbout us

01 Capture

From one photograph, or a whole list, to finished records.

  • An object page in Collecteur: a balloon dog with its name, the AI's description, category, year, colour, its estimated value and stock
    One photo, one recordPhotograph an object: the AI names it, finds the brand, estimates its value and size and writes the description.
  • Collecteur's import check: eight objects found in a spreadsheet, each with its value, ready to confirm
    Collection importImport an existing list from Excel, CSV, PDF or photos, check what was found, then confirm it all at once.
  • Guided cameraThe camera asks for the object, then its label, flags blurred shots and splits photos of different objects.
  • Batch photosAdd a whole set of photos to a folder, and each one becomes its own object.
  • Offline and in the backgroundPhotos taken offline wait until you are back online, and you can close the app while the AI works.

02 The record

What Collecteur knows about each object, and how you check and refine it.

  • An object in edit mode in Collecteur: add another photo, edit gallery, regenerate the AI picture, rewrite the AI description
    Cut-out and AI coverEach object gets a cut-out and a polished AI cover, which you can regenerate with a note; your photos stay.
  • The Improve dialog in Collecteur: the AI makes a higher-resolution version of the photo and adds it to the gallery, and the photo stays
    ImproveMakes a sharper, higher-resolution copy of a photo, or edits it from your note, beside the original.
  • The Rewrite AI description dialog in Collecteur: the AI writes a new description from the fields and the photos, with an optional note
    AI descriptionsThe AI rewrites an object's description from its details and photos, and writes a folder's from its cover photo.
  • Editing an object in Collecteur: name, category, brand, the value marked as an estimate, credit, stock, rent per day, dimensions and colour
    The object recordName, brand, category (21 or your own), size, colour, year, specifications and description, all editable.
  • An object in Collecteur: its value as two times the estimate, a stock of two, rent of 150 a day, the gallery it came from, a link and a certificate of purchase
    Value, stock and rentRecord the value, how many you hold, a daily rental rate and any credit still owed, and see the net value.
  • A picture opened full screen in Collecteur, with arrows to the next one
    Photo galleryAdd, reorder and delete photos, choose the cover, and open any picture full screen to zoom in.
  • Check the AIBefore saving, accept or change the AI's value estimate, or correct the name and let it look again.
  • Documents and linksAttach documents and links to objects, folders and people; on iPhone, send PDFs in from other apps.

03 Organise

Folders, views and a home screen, arranged the way you think.

  • A folder in Collecteur: a cover photo of a lounge chair, the title Paris apartment, its description and total value
    Folders and collectionsNest folders as deep as you like, or use collections; each has a cover, a description and its total value.
  • Home in Collecteur: the collection's total value and counts, then the collector's portrait and pinned objects with their values
    HomeHome shows your totals and the objects, folders and people you pin there, in your order, on every device.
  • Home in edit mode in Collecteur: drag a tile by its handle to move it, drop it on a folder to put it inside, tap × to remove it
    Move and rearrangeSelect several objects to move or archive at once, and drag tiles to reorder them or drop them into folders.
  • Remove duplicates in Collecteur: two Murano vases side by side, which one to keep, and what the merge keeps
    Remove duplicatesCollecteur finds objects that look like the same thing and merges each pair you confirm, keeping every photo.
  • Sort out itemsThe AI proposes groups of similar objects in a folder; nothing moves until you apply it, and you can undo it.
  • Grid, list and treeView objects as a grid, a list or a tree of all folders, sorted by newest or value and filtered by category.

04 Find

Ask for anything in your collection, or in other collectors' public ones.

  • A search in Collecteur for “chair”, finding two armchairs with their values
    Everyday searchAsk in plain words across objects, people and folders, and the AI also matches by meaning: green armchairs under €500.
  • Find collectors in Collecteur: search by name, @username or city, or describe an object
    Find collectorsFind other collectors by name, @username or city, or describe an object to find it in public collections.
  • Voice searchSay what you are looking for; the iPhone turns it into text and runs the search.

05 People

The dealers, galleries and friends around your objects.

  • A contact in Collecteur: the portrait of a woman, her name, her category, her gallery, her city and how to reach her
    Contact cardsEach person holds phones, addresses, birthday, rating and categories, linked to the objects and folders they belong to.
  • Enrich in Collecteur: from the web, a short summary, an address, a website and a LinkedIn profile, each with its source, to accept or discard
    EnrichLooks a person up on the public web and LinkedIn and shows every fact with its source before anything is kept.
  • A contact's notes in Collecteur: a tidy summary of what was said about her, the row to talk about her again, and the objects she is linked to
    Voice notesTalk about a person and the AI writes a tidy summary on their card that you can reread.
  • Adding a contact in Collecteur: one photo field for the person, their business card or a screenshot, then name, link and a choice from the iPhone's contacts
    Card scanScan a business card, a signature or a LinkedIn screenshot to fill the form; a portrait gets a clean background.
