Curio is an AI-powered identifier for antiques, collectibles, art, furniture, pottery and more. The main delivery challenge was to give users dense content and media tools that still feel immediate on everyday devices, while keeping Capture, Identify, and Date consistent across the complete journey. We framed the engagement around the smallest production-worthy flow first, then expanded the scope without weakening the underlying component and data model.
We began by mapping the user journey and the boundaries of the AI: what context it receives, what it may return, and where deterministic application logic must stay in control. We then built Capture, Identify, and Date as small end-to-end slices, connecting the interface to the data and model layers early so the team could test real responses instead of static mock-ups. Prompt, validation, and fallback behaviour were refined alongside the product UI. The main implementation used React Native, Expo SDK 54, Expo Router, and TypeScript, with typed contracts keeping the JavaScript stack consistent across the product.
The delivered scope brought Capture, Identify, Date, and Value into one coherent cross-platform mobile release. Model output, product logic, and user feedback are separated clearly, which makes the AI easier to evaluate and evolve. For Curio, the practical result is a product that communicates its value quickly while giving the team a maintainable base for continued delivery in media & content.
The edge isn’t owning more references — it’s knowing in the moment. Curio puts identification where the decision happens.
By putting instant identification and value at the point of decision, Curio turned guesswork into confidence — and casual finders into serious collectors.
