Run my Marketplace listings, relay buyer questions and clear the stale ones

Creator Leslie Samuel has the AI manage his Facebook Marketplace selling. When a buyer asked the dresser's dimensions, the AI relayed the question to him, sent his answer to the buyer, and she bought it the next day. The AI also reports inquiries per listing and reminded him of two year-old listings he had forgotten, deleting them after his approval. He has listed three items this way in a week: one sold, one pending pickup.

How it works

  1. Monitor listings and buyer messages
  2. Relay a buyer's dimensions question to the seller
  3. Send his answer back
  4. Buyer purchases next day
  5. Flag two forgotten year-old listings
  6. Delete them on approval

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent closed the loop on a real sale, shuttling a measurements question between buyer and seller, then found listings the seller forgot existed.
