For independent curators, emerging practice and institutional work
Where research
becomes
exhibition
Capture from the gallery floor. Synthesize across a subject's reading. Turn one essay into wall labels, press releases, and catalog entries — in your own voice, across eight languages.
No credit card. 50 MB of research, your first project, free forever.
Your curatorial toolkit
AI that understands
your practice
Cites your library, not Wikipedia. Curatorial was designed from the ground up for the unique workflows of independent curators, researchers, and exhibition planners — grounded in your own sources.
Research Notebooks
Gather sources into a notebook, then work inside it — ask questions answered from your own sources, map the connections, and surface the gaps. Not a chatbot with the internet; a study with your shelves.
Essay Drafting
Socratic coaching guides your writing. Get suggestions grounded in your own research materials.
Style Learning
Teach the AI your voice. It analyzes your past writing and applies your style to all suggestions.
Cultural Translation
Translate research while preserving citations and academic tone. Eight languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Arabic.
Collaboration
Smart annotations, team workspaces, and approval workflows for exhibition teams.
Citation Manager
Extract and format citations in APA, MLA, and Chicago. Import your library from Zotero or Mendeley, enrich via CrossRef, and export as BibTeX. (Scholar and above.)
Capture anywhere
The workspace that comes with you.
Text a photo of a wall label from the gallery floor and it becomes a draft artwork record. Voice-memo a studio visit, forward a PDF, jot down a note — each one is parsed, you confirm, and it lands in the right project, searchable from any device. Nothing is saved until you say so.
Works in Telegram and WhatsApp. Connect your Claude Desktop, AI assistant or other desktop app (via MCP) to access your library and projects.
Built for how you work
From fieldwork
to finished text
Curators don't work in straight lines. You gather research from gallery visits, artist interviews, academic papers, and scattered notes.
Curatorial brings it all together. Your AI assistant understands the context of your exhibition and helps you synthesize insights across all your materials.
One workspace
Research. Write. Exhibit.
Gather
Upload research materials, capture notes from gallery visits, import artist statements and academic papers.
Synthesize
AI finds patterns across your research, suggests connections, and helps you develop your curatorial argument.
Create
Draft essays, wall texts, and catalog entries. Repurpose content for press releases, social media, and labels.
The fundamentals
One workspace for the whole show.
The basics are built in, so nothing needs a second app: your artworks and people as a real database, documents and spreadsheets with writing tools included, and real-time collaboration — in any browser, with nothing to install.
