Y Combinator Best Product Demo

Transcript

This had to have been one of the most interesting product demos I've ever seen. So this team is called Red and they're building an AI agent that can sell things on your behalf. So basically you text a picture of what you want to sell and then it will go find the best marketplace like eBay or Facebook and then sell it for you and do all the negotiation. But let me just play you guys the demo. So basically it works by you texting a picture of what you want to sell to your Red agent and then it makes the listing for you on a Facebook on your account and then also handles all the communication with the seller or with the buyer. So this is it's like, hey, is it's available? It's like, yes, it is. It's like, okay, would you take 50 cents? And then the agent replies and it's like, oh, I appreciate the offer, but that's not going to work about $9. So, it even has a little bit of sass too. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this is half the reason that I don't sell things. I thought this was so dope.
