AI-ifying a listing

What is AI-ify?

It’s a new AI solution that will make creating a listing much faster (and more fun!!).

How does it work? After uploading a picture in your listing, there will be a button to automatically populate all the information required in the title and description of your listing.🤩

Note - If you’re adding a food listing, the AI will attempt to provide a Use By or Best Before date in the Description of your listing, and it will also automatically title any bakery item as “Loose bakery items” 🥐

Do I have to use it?

Not at all, we just want to provide a tool that can help you share your items faster.

If you don’t like what AI-ify suggests, just click on the ‘x’ icon next to the title and/or description of your listing to change it! 

What does the 'Make it sparkly' option do?

We know that sometimes all it takes is a catchy description or a clever marketing line to make a listing more appealing or popular.

So to help you share your non-food-free and selling listings more successfully, you can now ask the system to add an extra sparkle to your listing description. Simply toggle the option.

Can I still manually edit my listing if I want to correct the Title/Description of my listing?

Of course! You can remove or add any bit of text in the listing before publishing it. 

Tips for snapping AI-ify friendly images 📸

• Crystal Clear: Ensure your photo is sharp and in focus – it helps AI-ify get all the details right.
• Bright Lights: Capture your image in a well-lit setting so AI-ify can see everything clearly.
• Keep it Simple: Use a plain background to let your item take centre stage without distractions.
• Text Matters: If your item has any text on it, make sure it's horizontal and easy to read. AI-ify is great with words, but only if it can read them!
• No Wrinkles: If you're sharing something in plastic with text on it, try to smooth out any wrinkles. AI-ify isn't a fan of crumpled text.

Current limitations

📆 When unsure, it tries to guess (incorrectly!) the date 

🥪 It does seem to suggest Greggs often…

AI is a new technology so sometimes it can hallucinate or provide some strange results, usually a bit funny! You can try again with another picture by:

1. Uploading a new picture on your listing
2. Clicking again ‘AI-ify’  🙂
