Our journey to AI-driven e-commerce

The swaps that led us here

At Dondo, our goal has always been about letting our users get the most from their assets. Long before launching the AI solution of today, we built a swapping marketplace where users could upload and exchange their items with those posted by other users. The platform quickly gained traction, reaching almost a million total users, letting them get real value out of their possessions while saving money in the process.

The lightbulb moment

While building out this marketplace and doing inventory analysis on the nearly ~10M items, we noticed something important: the importance of a great listing. Time and time again we'd see items that were objectively great but were never transacted simply because they had:

  • Poor pictures
  • Lack of a compelling or specific description
  • Incorrect keywords to promote visibility

From manual optimization to AI-powered solutions

We started assisting users manually with their listings. After thousands of hours manually improving listings, we thought there had to be a better solution. When we couldn't find one, we decided to build it ourselves.

What began as an internal tool for our marketplace quickly revealed that what we had developed had uses far beyond the scope we had envisioned. We realized our AI solution could empower other e-commerce sellers of all sizes, anywhere, to optimize and streamline their listing process. That realization was the spur that led us to build the AI solution we offer today, designed to make e-commerce more efficient for sellers everywhere.
