ItemPilot: Turning Product Photos into Buyer-Focused eBay Listings with Local AI 🚀

Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle Submission 💸

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle

I built ItemPilot, a local AI-powered eBay Listing Assistant that helps online sellers turn product photos and product details into compelling, editable listing drafts.

Writing product listings can be repetitive. Sellers need to come up with a search-friendly title, describe the product, highlight its useful features, and make the listing appealing to potential buyers.

ItemPilot aims to make that process easier.

Upload a product photo, provide the details you know, and let Gemma 3 4B generate a listing draft containing:

You can review and edit the generated content, then copy or download it before using it on eBay.

The intended users are small eBay sellers, casual resellers, and people who regularly list second-hand electronics, clothing, and other products. For sellers handling multiple listings, saving time on product copy could be valuable.

I haven't validated willingness to pay with a real seller yet. That's an important next step for the project.

The repository contains the application, prompts, local AI integration, validation logic, tests, and setup instructions.

ItemPilot is a local-first AI application that helps online sellers turn product photos and product details into compelling, editable eBay listing drafts using Gemma 3 4B and Ollama.

Instead of starting from a blank page, sellers can upload a product photo, provide the details they know, and generate a polished listing they can review and refine before publishing.
