AuctionFlex powers your auction operations, but building the catalog still eats time. AuctionWriter’s AI turns photos and basic details into import ready titles, descriptions, and estimates, then exports a CSV tailored for AuctionFlex or AF360. Cut hours of data entry, standardize copy, and move lots from images into sales faster.

What Is AI Cataloging?

AI cataloging uses artificial intelligence to generate lot titles, descriptions, estimates, and even organize photos—based on the images and details you provide. Instead of typing every line item by hand, you review and approve polished copy produced in seconds. AuctionWriter specializes in AI cataloging built for auctioneers, not generic e‑commerce copy—so the tone, structure, and fields match how you actually sell.

Why Integrate AI Cataloging with AuctionFlex?

AuctionFlex powers everything after your catalog is built: clerking, invoicing, statements, reports, and HiBid sync. But it still needs clean, complete data up front. Connecting AuctionWriter to your AuctionFlex workflow means:

• Massive time savings: Build import‑ready CSVs in minutes.
• Consistent, professional copy: AI keeps tense, capitalization, and structure uniform across hundreds of lots. You can even provide custom instructions and other personalizations to tailor AI results to your liking.
• Better search & conversion: Stronger titles and descriptive keywords help your lots appear in more searches on marketplaces, like HiBid. Connect with more, and higher quality bidders with less effort.

Step-by-Step Workflow: Using AuctionWriter and AuctionFlex

1. Shoot & Upload Photos
   Drag and drop lot images on desktop, or capture photos on-site with a mobile device.
2. Generate Copy & Estimates
   Click “Add to Catalog” and move on to upload the photos your next lot. AI will generate written titles and descriptions, rename and resize photos, and organize your catalog in the background, so you can focus on cataloging.
3. Export to AuctionFlex Format
   Review and perfect listings within AuctionWriter. When you’re ready, choose: Export → AuctionFlex. AuctionWriter then bundles a CSV and a zipped image folder.
