Episode 121: Auction Cataloging Using AI

About this episode

The episode discusses the use of AI in auction cataloging and inventory management with guests from Listernaut.

Building auction catalogs and inventory management can be time consuming and labor intensive, not to mention the associated cost. We are joined in the auction studio by Jeff Leffel and Bert Kaplan of Listernaut, an emerging and novel company that has built impressive software which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to adequately identify items photographed and write a heading & description for them. This technology is quickly becoming an important software platform that auction companies are finding success with. We discuss how they got started, where they are at today and most importantly with AI where they are headed in the near future. Enjoy the show…   LISTERNAUT.COM
