AI Advisor
A conversational interface to 10M+ auction records, the LiveArt Estimate™, and live news from across the art press. Ask questions, follow artists, get briefed when something moves. Every answer is composed from data, not opinion — every claim has a source.
What it does
AI Advisor turns the LiveArt platform into a single conversation. The same data that powers Artist Analytics, Art Market Indices, and the Estimate™ — now reachable through plain language, with news, charts, and comparables composed into the answer.
It's built for the way advisors, specialists, and serious collectors actually work: half a dozen open questions a day, a few artists you're tracking, occasionally a deep dive when a consignment lands or a sale is coming up.
Capabilities
A few of the questions AI Advisor answers every day.
Market briefings
“Tell me more about Warhol.”
A full briefing comes back: narrative summary, cited news from Artnet, Artnews, and the auction houses, the Artist Index over five years, sales-volume and turnover charts, distribution of lots above/within/below estimate, and the artworks driving the conversation. The same template runs for any artist in the database.
Comparable sales
“Show me Warhol Flowers prints sold in the last two years between $50K and $500K.”
Structured table comes back — date, house, hammer, premium, estimate range, image — with the median, IQR, and sell-through computed across the set.
Upcoming-auction radar
“Alert me when any Basquiat painting under $2M comes to auction.”
The agent watches 1,400+ houses and surfaces lots that match. Follow the artist once; the monitoring runs in the background between conversations.
Portfolio construction
“I have $500K to deploy in contemporary, moderate risk.”
Allocations come back across artists and price ranges, each line backed by market-cap, momentum, liquidity, and volatility data — with the rationale visible, not buried.
Comparative analysis
“Compare risk-adjusted returns for Picasso vs. Warhol over 20 years.”
Side-by-side: compound annual return, Sharpe, drawdown, sell-through, all built from repeat-sale pairs in the database. Charted on the same axes.
Market timing
“Is now a good time to sell my Richter abstracts?”
Momentum, supply pipeline, realized vs. estimate trend, seasonal patterns. Read as a structured signal, not a hunch.
Single-artwork lookups
“What's the record for Richter's Abstraktes Bild (809-4)?”
Auction history, current Estimate™ band with confidence range, similar works, edition information when relevant.
Trading Signals
Follow up to several artists at once. AI Advisor watches the data — momentum shifts, new consignments, news cycles, repeat-sale pricing — and pushes alerts when something material happens. The Trading Signals panel sits alongside the conversation; signal logic is configurable at the higher tiers.
Free and Pro tiers see a curated subset. Advisor and above get unlimited followed artists and full alert delivery. Enterprise customers can layer in custom signal definitions over their own portfolios.
Agentic, not just conversational
The agent works between conversations. It maintains your watchlists, runs your monitoring, generates the recurring reports you've asked for, and pings you when a tracked artist moves. Set it up once; it keeps working when the chat window is closed.
Built on real data
Every numeric claim in an answer traces to a row in the database, an entry in the OpenAPI catalog, or a dated news source. When confidence is low — thin sample, sparse comparables — AI Advisor says so rather than guessing. Estimate™ outputs come with a confidence band and the comparables that drove the number.
We don't generate prices we can't defend, and we don't fabricate citations. If something isn't in the data, the answer says it isn't.
How it's metered
AI Advisor runs on a credit model. Simple lookups cost a credit or two; full briefings with news synthesis and charts cost more. Each tier comes with a monthly credit allowance, and you can top up at any time.
This keeps pricing honest: a quick question shouldn't cost the same as a deep portfolio analysis, and you shouldn't pay for capacity you don't use.
What it isn't
AI Advisor is a research and intelligence tool, not a financial advisor. The signals are descriptive — momentum, supply, demand, comparables — not investment recommendations. Use it the way a Bloomberg Terminal user uses charts and screens: as the substrate for your own judgment, not a substitute for it.
