Ai-tool Oranjeprijs.nl Helps sellers and buyers on the free market during King’s Day in determining the price for second -hand items. In about five seconds it gives a price indication of the photographed object. The tool, a prototype of the Amsterdam design studio Q42, works with image recognition of chatgpt and product and price data from Marktplaats.
When someone takes a photo of a product via Oranjeprijs.nl, Chatgpt scans the image to determine what it is. The found name of the product is matched with products on Marktplaats. With this comparison, ChatGPT is then asked to give the best suggested retail price. The Marktplaats advertisements are also shown on which the suggested retail price is based (see video).
‘In principle, the tool works on every smartphone and does not have to be downloaded. Everyone can experiment for free with the prototype without logging in. The use is anonymous and photos taken of products are automatically deleted after thirty days by Chatgpt-Eigernaar OpenAI, “writes Q42 in a press release. “Since it is a prototype, there can still be teething problems,” the maker reports.
When a photo is taken, does the AI application say: ‘Worth junk or gold? Just ask Willem … ‘With a test that did computable, Oranjeprijs.nl appreciated a toy length of the son of one of our editors at ten euros. An offer that will not be made quickly with a rug on the Vrijmarkt. In a second test, a long drink glass with crystal pattern for a whiskey glass was considered. But that should not print the King’s Day fun. Feel free to try it on the free market on King’s Day is our advice. It is a funny introduction to image recognition and price determination based on a database of second -hand goods.
Q42
Q42 is a digital product studio, based in Amsterdam and The Hague, which was founded in the year 2000. It builds apps, websites, connected devices, games and AI and VR applications. The tool is building by employee Yoshio Schermer who came to the idea when he wanted to sell some things, but did not feel like putting things on Marktplaats and to do all kinds of descriptions and entering data per product. He wanted to be able to get a price indications based on image recognition. In about two weeks, partly in the evenings and partly during working hours, the tool was built, says head marketing of Q42 Maurice Haak. The company decided to offer the tool with King’s Day to learn from the application.
BAM Group
Haak: ‘We use computer vision quite a lot, for example in a solution for construction company BAM Group to include the sizes of facades and frames during renovation projects. That tool calculates the exact sizes on the basis of photos of drones. ‘ According to Q42, this often saves a few weeks with renovation projects because not first and often difficult places have to be measured all the frames and façade elements in a hard time.
