LINE Yahoo Launches AI-Powered Tool for Yahoo!Flea Market Listings

Tokyo, Japan—LINE Yahoo Inc. launched a new Yahoo! Flea Market application feature on Monday. 

The feature uses artificial intelligence to generate product information from a single image.

The "Easy AI Listing" feature automatically creates product titles, descriptions, condition assessments, and suggested selling prices after users upload a product photograph.

This feature is only available on iOS devices running app version 2.34.0 or later.

LY Corp plans to release this feature for Android users.

This feature will allow regular users to reduce the time spent on listing, and the company has stated that this is its goal.

LINE Yahoo previously implemented AI assistance for creating product descriptions in August 2023, but the new feature expands this functionality.

To use the feature, sellers can take a photo or select one from their device, then tap "Auto-fill with AI" on the listing form. 

The system populates relevant fields automatically, allowing users to edit the generated content before publishing.

The company cautions users to verify the AI-suggested selling prices before finalizing listings. 

LINE Yahoo also states it does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated content.

The feature utilizes Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform through the Gemini API and is subject to Google's service terms and policies.
