CREXAI, a subsidiary of Mateo AI Studio, launched beta web and app services for three cultural arts platforms, Colly, Illog, and Skene, on October 12. The simultaneous release spans visual art, books, and performing arts under an environmental, social, and governance initiative. The platforms share a commitment to public data, visible source attribution, and the avoidance of artificial estimates.
A Common Framework for Public Data
All three platforms follow the same design rules: pricing, advertising, and promotions do not influence rankings, and the services rely only on public data. Each screen displays the original source attribution, and missing values are not replaced with arbitrary estimates. The company says this approach is intended as a practical answer to growing social concerns that AI may threaten artists' roles.
Responding to AI Skepticism in the Arts
According to CREXAI CEO Jung Myeon-young, artificial intelligence entering pure art first faces distrust rather than expectation. Unauthorized training, source-free generation, and creator rights violations have darkened the term AI art. The company chose these negative issues as the starting point of its ESG work, using AI to connect publicly existing cultural assets to verified primary sources instead of generating new images.
Colly Unifies Museum Archives and Discovery
Colly operates as an AI-based global art platform that integrates archives from 300 museums, more than 8,000 artists, and over 1.08 million works across at least 110 cities. It uses Google's SigLIP and the multilingual Jina CLIP v2 model, allowing natural language searches such as a calm blue landscape in 89 languages without exact titles or artist names. The service links discovery, curation, viewing, and made-to-order merchandise in a single flow.
Illog Tracks Library Data Without Commercial Influence
Illog automatically collects public lending data from about 1,600 public libraries and 34 university libraries nationwide each week. Since library lending has no room for advertising or promotions, the service offers an alternative to bookstore rankings and star ratings. It aggregates 12 demographic segments by six age bands and gender, and its archive from 2016 provides an 11-year comparison of reading trends.
Skene Presents Stages with Equal Visibility
Skene gathers daily open data from the Korea Performing Arts Box Office Information System to cover approximately 3,600 venues and 150,000 performances. The platform displays posters for large musicals and small plays at the same size, avoiding ranking by scale or ticketing status. Users can filter by region, genre, time, price, size, and accessibility features such as wheelchair access, and attended performances are saved in a ticket-like record.
Next Steps for the Three Services
After the beta launch in mid-October, CREXAI will refine core functions based on user feedback across web, iOS, and Android. Colly plans to verify museum SaaS transactions, formalize its colly+ membership, and pursue business-to-business museum SaaS, academic licensing, and expansion in Japan and Europe. Illog and Skene are respectively reviewing institutional reports and ticketing partnership opportunities.
By launching colly, illog, and skene together, CREXAI positions itself as an AI studio that addresses ethical concerns through practical cultural tools rather than avoiding them. The platforms emphasize verified primary sources, equal visibility, and public data integrity while connecting users to art, books, and performance. Continued updates based on user feedback are expected to shape the commercial and partnership roadmaps in the coming months.
