We are starting to introduce a few AI powered tools around the site. The first one is already live in Buyer Requests.
When someone opens a request asking who can get something done, the tool checks active listings, recent activity, user rank, and, when available, recent successful transactions for that type of service. It then shares a short list of providers who may be a good fit.
Have something you need done? Use the Buyer Requests category and clearly explain what you are looking for. Need a particular social assets? Let @system find it for you. The better the details, the better the recommendations can be.
The goal is simple: help buyers who want a quick answer find people who can deliver, while giving more visibility to active sellers. We expect this to make it easier to start deals and boost sales across the marketplace.
This is the first of several AI tools we are testing. More to come.
P.S. The system runs checks once per day, so don’t expect an instant response.
Example post:
CHANGELOG
UPDATE 1.0
Odd Services category will never get recommended
Safety Concern members do not get recommendations
If your success ratio falls below 4/10, you will not get recommended.
UPDATE 1.1
To reduce unnecessary @mentions and notification spam, we have moved recommendations to private messages. Buyers will now receive available options directly in their inbox instead of in a public post.
To prevent mass @tag spam, and to stop @win from crying, we have switched the recommendation model to PMs. From now on, buyers will receive a private message with avail options vs a public post.
I can’t wait to see if this will genuinely boost sales. In theory, it should, because most buyers are lazy to search. This feature is too good to be free, if it starts working the way we think it will.
