Everything Curator does for you.
Connect Instagram, then choose what Curator may handle. Teach it about your practice, and it speaks more like you.
Closed-beta availability depends on artist authorization and Instagram permissions. Items marked Coming soon are in development.
Ready as soon as you connect
No long setup. Curator handles conversations, reads what people want, screens risk and remembers each person from the first message.
More personal as you teach it
Work through the BCOT method with Curator, one part at a time. It starts explaining your ideas and your work the way you would.
| What Curator can do | Day one | With your artist profile |
|---|---|---|
| Reply to DMs and comments | Yes | Yes |
| Public replies | Simple thank-yous | In your voice |
| Turn a comment into a private chat | Yes | Yes |
| Understand what people want | Yes | Yes |
| Screen scams and suspicious messages | Yes | Yes |
| Remember each person and rank likely buyers | Yes | Yes |
| Hand the conversation to you when unsure | Yes | Yes |
| Explain your ideas and beliefs | Asks you first | Yes |
| Tell the story behind a work | Only facts you entered | Fuller answers |
| Describe what makes your work distinctive | No | Yes |
| Make up facts about you or your work | Never | Never |
Find your position. Then let Curator speak from it.
BCOT is a positioning method for artists, created by Chloe Yungyi Chang, founder of Sulio Art, and taught in her workbook The Abundant Artist and her courses. Curator brings it into a conversation: it asks you guided questions, one part at a time, until your position is clear in your own words.
Belief
What you truly care about. The experience or value you can't stop making work about.
“What moves you and won't let go?”Calling
The question your work asks the world. Good art opens a conversation instead of handing out answers.
“What conversation does your work open?”Offering
What your work gives people beyond beauty: companionship, inspiration, a shift in how they feel.
“What do people take away from your work?”Tribe
The people who resonate with your work, and what they find in it that they were missing.
“Who is moved by your work, and why?”A clear position you can use anywhere, from your Instagram bio to a gallery pitch.
The ground it speaks from, so its answers about your work sound like you.
Work through one part at a time. A short profile you've confirmed works better than a long one Curator guessed.

Your voice

What Curator will never do
- Make up facts about you or your work. If it doesn't know, it asks you.
- Make a deal for you. No prices, sales, commissions or deadlines you didn't approve.
- Message people first. It only replies to people who contacted you.
- Answer a held message. Suspicious messages wait for you.
- Guess who someone is. A comment and a DM are linked only when Instagram confirms it.
Start with day one. Teach it the rest as you go.
The closed beta is open to a small group of working artists on Instagram.
