Inspiration Back-of-the-envelope math: there are 300+ M active SMS users in the U.S. but fewer than 3 M Etsy sellers. Why? Because listing something online still means photos, forms, shipping profiles, fees, and… more forms. Dripline was born from the simple idea that anyone should be able to sell an item by doing the one thing everyone already knows how to do:
📸 → Text a photo → Get paid
What it does Inbound SMS/MMS – A user texts a photo (optionally “$40 Pikachu card”) to our toll-free number.
Realtime ingestion – Telnyx hits our webhook → we store the raw payload in Postgres (Prisma).
Slack concierge – A formatted block (image preview + caption + phone) drops into our ops Slack so we can instantly respond while iterating.
(Road-mapped) OpenAI Vision extracts title, category, and fair-market price → Dripline generates a one-page Stripe Checkout and sends the link back.
Cash out – When the item sells, the seller receives an automated payout link (Stripe Connect).
