We figure out where AI fits your business — then we build it.

AI Consulting & Implementation

Crafture is an AI consulting and implementation firm for retail, pawn, collectibles, and local service businesses. We map where AI actually saves you time and money, put it in a written roadmap, and then build the systems ourselves — software, websites, and automation included. Run by an operator with 30+ years behind the counter, not a consultant who's only read about it.

// three ways we work

Start with a consult. Keep us to build. Retain us to run it.

Every engagement starts the same way: a paid Discovery Session that finds where AI and automation actually pay off in your operation. From there, we build what the roadmap says is worth building.

Start here
01

AI Consulting

$500–$1,500 flat

A working session, not a sales pitch. We go through your actual operation — intake, pricing, back office, customer flow — and find where AI saves real time or money.

  • AI Discovery Session: 90 minutes, flat fee
  • Written roadmap: opportunities priced and sequenced
  • Workflow audit of your operation — not a generic checklist
  • Yours to keep, whoever ends up building it
02

Custom Software & Websites

$3k–$25k+ projects

When the roadmap calls for a build, we don't hand you off to a dev shop — we are the dev shop. Built on the same stack that runs our own production systems.

  • Next.js websites and web apps
  • Dashboards and internal tools
  • E-commerce and storefronts
  • Deployed, monitored, and maintained after launch
Highest leverage
03

AI-Powered Automation

$5k–$20k builds · $1.5k–$4k/mo retainer

Consulting and software, fused. AI wired into your daily operation — and an AI Partner Retainer that keeps building as the tools improve.

  • Chatbots and assistants — English and Spanish
  • Content pipelines, review & booking automation
  • Inventory and intake tools built for your workflow
  • Retainer covers new builds, tool updates, staff training

How it fits together: the Discovery Session finds the opportunities. The roadmap prices them. We build the ones that pay. The retainer keeps them improving. Step one is always the same — book the session.

./proof --from-the-logs

We don't sell AI. We sell time.

Every number here comes from system logs — not a brochure. This is two months of a platform we built and run for a card-retail client: the man-hours it hands back, and the work it does so a person doesn't have to.

~100+ hrs
back in the client team's pocket every month — roughly two and a half work-weeks, automated away.
// conservative figure, driven mostly by game-setup automation
Before — by hand
60+ min
Build the game, line up the items, get it live. Over an hour, every show.
After — with Crafture
~15 min
Scan the items in, mass-import the lineup, done. Measured average ~30 min, with weeks as low as 16.
Pricing that prices itself
BeforeHours nobody has — so prices went stale
After~950 cards re-checked against live market daily
54,824 price refreshes, automatically
Streams close themselves
BeforeAn hour of spreadsheets after every show
AfterTotals and payouts the second the show ends
276 streams closed + paid out automatically
Graded cards in under a minute
BeforeTyping out card, set, year, grade by hand
AfterScan the cert — it all fills itself, image too
118 graded cards auto-filled from the cert

// volumes are real, pulled from the database. per-task manual times are conservative estimates.

// the work the system did, so the team didn't

Real AI systems, running real operations

Not mockups, not demos — production systems we've shipped across retail, pawn, collectibles, and AI infrastructure. Some run our own operations; client work is marked as client work.

Slab Intake Platform

Commercial platform
● In production

Graded-card intake at industrial scale — designed for 25,000+ slabs a day across parallel multi-operator stations. Offline-first, so the floor keeps moving when the network doesn't.

  • Designed for 25k+ slabs/day across multi-operator stations
  • Offline-first intake — IndexedDB keeps stations working through outages
  • Multi-format export straight into listing and auction workflows

Card Retail Operations Platform

Client engagement · hobby-card retail
● Live

A long-running client engagement building the software a card shop and live-selling operation runs on — catalog, pricing automation, intake, and stream settlement. This is the system behind the log numbers above.

  • ~950 cards re-priced against live market data daily
  • Live-show setup cut from 60+ minutes to ~15
  • Streams close and pay out automatically at show end

AI Content Pipeline

internal · craftureco
● Running

Video generation that runs as a system, not a person at a prompt box. Local model generation with cloud escalation when a shot needs more, and recurring characters kept consistent across episodes.

  • Local video generation (Wan) with fal.ai escalation per shot
  • Character bible with LoRA-trained recurring characters
  • Runs unattended as a BullMQ job pipeline
Wanfal.aiLoRABullMQRedis

Local AI Infrastructure

internal · craftureco
● Online

Our AI runs on our own hardware — an RTX 5080 box serving local inference and a full local voice stack. It's how we test what we recommend: if it doesn't hold up here, it doesn't go in your roadmap.

  • RTX 5080 running local inference via Ollama
  • Local TTS stack: Kokoro, Chatterbox, XTTS-v2
  • Prototyping without per-call API costs before anything is proposed
OllamaKokoroXTTS-v2CUDA

Live Commerce Tooling

TikTok Live · eBay Live
● Active

Tooling built for live-selling operations — custom OBS overlay tooling driven by live data, with platform-specific CTAs tuned to how TikTok and eBay audiences actually buy.

  • Custom OBS overlay tooling wired to live sale data
  • Platform-specific CTAs for TikTok Live and eBay Live
  • Battle-tested during real shows, not demo streams
TypeScriptNodeOBSRedis

Lead Generation Scanner

internal · craftureco
● Scanning

A scanner that finds local businesses without a real web presence — the exact businesses we build for. Queue-driven and resumable, already mapping markets like South Florida barbershops.

  • Identifies local businesses lacking real websites, at scale
  • Queue-driven pipeline: resumable, rate-limited, deduplicated
  • Feeds the outreach list for local-service builds
NodeBullMQPostgreSQL

Arbitrage & Pricing Scanner

internal · craftureco
● Watching

A market-monitoring platform for the card hobby — continuously watches pricing across sources and surfaces buy/sell gaps worth acting on. New sources plug in without touching the core.

  • Multi-source adapter architecture — add a marketplace, not a rewrite
  • Automated scraping with Playwright + queue workers
  • Real-time price deltas feed purchasing decisions
NodeBullMQRedisPlaywright

Pawn Buster & Pawn Buddy

pawn-buster.com · pawn-buddy.com
● Live

Pricing, intake, and daily-operations tools for the pawn industry — built from inside the counter, not guessed at. Helps shops value items, run the loan math, and keep the line moving.

  • Values an item and runs the loan math in seconds
  • Built by an operator with decades on the pawn floor
  • Bilingual support built in
Next.jsNodePostgreSQLGoogle Cloud

South Florida Card Shop

Client work · trading-card retail
● Launching

Storefront and online presence for a South Florida trading-card shop and live-breaks studio — a fast, mobile-first site plus a custom Shopify theme tying in-store, online, and live-streaming together.

  • Custom Shopify theme built from scratch
  • Tuned for live-breaks audiences on Whatnot & TikTok
  • Mobile-first, SEO-ready storefront

Florida Law Firm

Client work · real-property law
● Rebuild

A ground-up website rebuild for an established Florida real-property law firm — replacing a 2010-era table layout with a clean, fast, mobile-first site and a local-SEO foundation.

  • Modernized a legacy Dreamweaver-era site to a fast static build
  • Local-SEO structure: practice areas, clients, insights
  • Faithful migration of the firm's existing copy and positioning

Consult. Roadmap. Build. Retain.

01 · consult

Discovery Session

90 minutes inside your operation — flat fee, English or Spanish. We look at how the work actually flows and find where AI and automation pay.

02 · roadmap

Written roadmap

The findings in writing: each opportunity, what it costs, what it saves, and the order to do them in. Yours to keep, with or without us.

03 · build

We build it

Sites, software, and AI workflows shipped in visible milestones — demos and decisions, not a black box. Deployed and verified under real conditions.

04 · retain

AI Partner Retainer

We stay on it: new builds, tool updates as the models improve, and hands-on staff training so your team actually uses what you paid for.

./about --operator

Thirty years behind the counter. Now shipping AI.

Crafture is run by Julio — an operator who spent 30+ years running multi-location retail and pawn operations before he started writing software. He's done the intake, the pricing, the payroll, and the Saturday rush. That's who reads your workflow before any AI gets proposed.

The AI side isn't theoretical either. He builds and runs the systems himself: local model pipelines on his own GPU hardware, automation workflows in production, custom tools real operations depend on daily. Practitioner, not PowerPoint.

That combination is the whole pitch: the person who's run the shop is the person who writes your roadmap — and the person who builds what's on it.
