You are standing in front of something and want an answer now. Your AI uses what it already knows or has saved, says plainly that it is an estimate, and does not go off researching.
Prompts for your AI
Copy one, paste it to your AI, change anything you like. This site has no AI in it — it holds the record, and your AI does the work.
Work styles
How thoroughly your AI works, in words rather than a dial.

There is one thing you actually need settled before deciding. Your AI investigates that, keeps what it used, and says what it could not establish.
The decision is worth the work. Your AI investigates the dimensions that matter, keeps the material as it goes, and explains its coverage and what stayed unresolved.
Jobs
A day of sales, a thrift-store showdown, a write-up, a sweep: paste one and your AI knows the job.
The night before, or over coffee in the car park: you want a route through a day of estate, garage and yard sales, with a reason behind every stop.
Thrift Store Showdown
A gameTwo or more of you are in a thrift store, antique mall or estate sale with a cap and an hour. Your AI judges the finds on evidence, not on who argues hardest.
You have a listing open — a company estate sale, a Craigslist garage sale — and you want the whole thing on the record before you drive.
A Mission needs a look across Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp or the big stores. Your AI files every listing it judges as an Item with its price, a screenshot and a verdict.
First session
Setting upThe very first time you connect your AI. It interviews you once and writes down what you look for, so nothing after this starts from nothing.
Establish a fair price
Research loopYou need a defensible number for something, and asking prices are all you can see.
Check a used listing before you drive
Research loopSomething looks right online and it is an hour away. Worth going?
