Inspiration
Jeff, one of the members of the team, mentioned that he used to resell things like shoes and other hype gear and stated that he found it to be extremely annoying and time consuming to upload things he had found/bought to online sites quickly. We figured that we could fix this by using generative AI to develop the title, description, and price and automatically upload it to ecommerce sites.
What it does
The user inputs a image of their product, and we generate a title, description, and price for it. From there, the user has the option to look over the suggestions and confirm there. At this point, we automatically list it to ecommerce sites.
How we built it
We used Next.js for the frontend, and Go with a GPT4 integration in the backend. Posted on Google Cloud Platform.
Challenges we ran into
- Next.js errors
- Learning how to use Redux
- Connecting API endpoints to Ebay
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Getting GPT the image and getting good classification and outputs in the right format
- Importing the image to the generative model
- Listing our APIs on Google Cloud Platform
What we learned
- How to connect our APIs to Ebay and list items by leveraging Generative AI
- How to host our APIs on Google Cloud Platform
What's next for Listnow
- Add functionality for adding other images from the web to the listing
- Scaling the product to list on other e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Etsy, Grailed, etc.
- Adding API endpoint access to allow other businesses to use our technology
- Optimizing for mobile usage
