The people behind Artfolio
Artfolio is built by Manual 2 AI Private Limited — a small, senior team of engineers and art-world operators on a single mission: give every gallery, studio and advisor an AI-native platform that does the busywork.
We started Artfolio because the gallery stack was broken — a spreadsheet for inventory, an inbox full of PDFs, a separate tool for invoices, and a WhatsApp group holding it all together. The people doing the work deserved one system that actually understood the art business.
So we built it, and we put AI where it belongs: reading an artwork from a photo, drafting the follow-up, finding the right collector, keeping the books GST-clean. The team is deliberately small and senior — the people building the product are the same people you'll talk to when you have a question.
Builders who use the product
We sit with galleries, watch the real workflow, and ship the thing that removes the busywork — not the thing that demos well.
AI where it earns its keep
Cataloguing, drafting, matching, summarising. We put AI on the boring, repetitive work so people can spend their time on the art.
Honest by default
Clear pricing, predictable AI costs, your data stays yours. No dark patterns, no surprise bills, no lock-in.
Built for the real world
GST in India, VAT in Europe, 160+ currencies. We build for how the art business actually runs, not a single-market template.
