Forensic-level evaluations for the pieces that deserve a second look.
You're standing in front of something — a painting, a figurine, that Buddha statue — and you have no idea what it's worth.
It could be worthless. It could change everything.
Your options right now are genuinely terrible. Google gives you nothing useful. Reddit gives you crowd guesses with zero accountability. A certified appraiser costs $350–$700, takes weeks, and requires you to physically bring it in. And those "snap a photo" apps? They'll give you a confident-sounding answer in three seconds — and it will frequently be wrong.
Any AI can guess. Kensho Gold investigates — with a trained eye that knows what yours was never taught to see.
Every other app returns an answer. Kensho Gold earns one. Because the details that determine value aren't in your first photo — they're in the questions a trained eye knows to ask.
And if the evidence isn't there? We tell you that too. Because an honest "inconclusive" is worth more than a confident wrong answer.
Submit 3–4 baseline photos — front, back, underside, and any identifying detail like a maker's mark or signature (don't worry if there isn't one) — plus context about the object's history. Our AI observes. It doesn't guess yet. You receive a preliminary summary of what it sees, not what it concludes. No value estimate. No shortcuts.
Based on what it observed, the AI requests specific targeted photos. Not a generic checklist — targeted. "Zoom in as close as you can to the wood grain — we're looking for hairline cracks, the dryness of aged wood, small worm holes. Those details tell us what no photo from across the room ever could."

For Professionals
Professional-grade reporting built for dealers, pickers, and estate professionals who can't afford to guess. Pro plans start at $199/month.
Not everyone can afford a $500 appraisal. Until now, that meant the playing field was never level — dealers and collectors with deep pockets had the advantage, and everyone else just guessed.
Kensho Gold changes that. AI-powered evaluation that gives anyone the depth of evaluation that used to cost hundreds of dollars and days of waiting — at a fraction of the cost.
I built this because expertise should not be a luxury. Whether you are clearing out an estate, hunting at garage sales, or sitting on something you have always wondered about — you deserve a real answer.
