> AI recognition for game and collectible collectors. Snap a photo of a game cartridge, box, or loose cart and Packie's AI identifies it — title, platform, region, variant and serial — then files it on your digital collection shelf.

Packie is a mobile app (iOS and Android), currently **coming soon**. The recognition engine and database are already built and being tested on real cartridges.

## What it does
- **Snap**: photograph a box, a cartridge, or a loose cart with nothing but a serial code.
- **Identify**: AI vision matches the photo against a cross-checked database of releases, regions, variants and serials, and flags multicarts and known bootlegs.
