AI Catalog · optional
Let the AI write the lots. (29 seconds)
No sound. Real screens from BBZ Catalog and one of our own sales.
Step 1 · Shoot
Shoot lot after lot on your phone.
Open the catalog on your phone, enter the lot number and take the photos. Quick Camera stays open, and the next lot number is filled in for you, so you can walk the tables and keep going.
- ✓Or upload a folder of photos from a camera - named by lot number, or one lot after another.
- ✓Add a short note for the AI (for example "signed by the artist") when it helps.
- ✓Take a measurement photo with a tape measure on the item - the AI reads the size from it.
- ✓Each lot goes to the AI as soon as you press Next, so lots are being written while you shoot.
Step 2 · The AI writes
Every field filled in from the photos.
The AI looks at the photos and writes the lot the way your catalog needs it.
- ✓Title and full description, following your house writing rules and lengths.
- ✓Condition, category and subcategory - from BBZ, HiBid or your own category list.
- ✓A retail estimate, and a starting bid worked out the way you set it.
- ✓Gold and silver: the melt value from your metal prices, and the estimate is never set below melt.
- ✓Google Lens and eBay sold links on every lot to check the AI in one click.
Step 3 · Review
You read it. You approve it.
Lots the AI finished show as Ready to review. Flags point out what to look at - a category not on your list, or a possible high-value item - so you see at a glance what still needs you.
- ✓Fix any field right in the list, or open the lot.
- ✓Not happy with a lot? Have the AI write it again - free.
- ✓Approve one at a time, or approve all ready lots at once.

Step 1 · Public catalog page
Built and published in BBZ Catalog
Edens Auctions shot 300 gold and silver coin lots, let the AI write them, and published the catalog as its own public page.
Browse the public catalog →Step 2 · Live for bidding
The same lots, up for bid on BidBuyZoom
The catalog was downloaded and uploaded to BidBuyZoom, where bidders register, watch lots and bid.
See the sale on BidBuyZoom ↗What public catalog pages are for
Publish any catalog and it gets its own page, with your company name and a link to your website. Use it to:
- ✓Share one link with bidders and consignors, by email or on social media, before bidding opens.
- ✓Let Google find your lots, so people searching for an item can find your sale.
- ✓Keep the catalog online while you sell the same lots on BidBuyZoom, HiBid or any other site.
- ✓Show it safely: consignor, reserve, buy-now and your private fields never show on the public page.

Questions
Do I have to use the AI?
No. The catalog program is free and works without it - you can shoot, type or import every lot yourself. Use the AI on a whole sale, on some lots, or not at all.
What counts as an AI lot?
A lot is counted the first time the AI writes it. Asking the AI to write it again is free, and lots you write, import or edit yourself are never counted.
Can I change what the AI wrote?
Yes - every field, in the list or on the lot. You approve each lot (or all ready lots at once).
Will it write the way we write?
In Company settings you set how the AI writes: your house writing rules, title and description length, and how the starting bid is worked out. Each catalog can add a note about that sale.
What happens when my lots run out?
Buy a pack, or save a card for pay as you go: 100 more lots are bought when yours run out, so the AI never stops in the middle of a sale.
