Platform Scope
Valuation, provenance, exhibition, and sale — one platform.
Collecta replaces the spreadsheets and email chains serious collectors run on. AI analysis across five vision providers, 3D virtual galleries, and a full marketplace sit behind one product surface.
The Challenge
Serious art collectors manage portfolios worth millions across spreadsheets, email threads, and paper records. There is no single platform that handles valuation, provenance tracking, insurance documentation, and marketplace transactions with the visual sophistication the art world expects.
The Solution
Collecta combines multi-provider AI vision analysis (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Google Vision) with immersive 3D virtual galleries and a full P2P marketplace. The AI layer uses intelligent provider routing — each provider has different strengths for style analysis vs. valuation vs. provenance research. 219 API routes, 30+ tables, all behind Supabase RLS.
Architecture Decisions
Multi-provider AI orchestration: priority-ranked fallback across 5 vision APIs with 10-second timeouts and confidence scoring per provider
React Three Fiber virtual galleries with photorealistic room environments, WASD navigation, and artwork placement with proper lighting
219 API routes with Supabase RLS enforcing row-level authorization across 30+ tables and 153 database migrations
Graceful payment degradation: Stripe → Sola → manual staff capture, keeping the system operational through any single payment failure
Market intelligence pipeline aggregating 9,500+ auction records from 5 major houses with artist profiling and trend analysis
