Automatic categorization of listing photos with Vision AI
99.co cut photo labeling for property listings from three to five minutes to 30 seconds with Vision AI
Problem
Agents on the property portal had to key in a category and metadata for each photo they uploaded. A listing has about 15 to 20 photos, and agents manage 10 to 100 listings a day.
Approach
99.co used Google Cloud's Vision AI to categorize and label each uploaded photo automatically. A photo with a television and a couch, for example, is labeled as a living room. The system also rejects photos that show a human face, because such photos tend to get lower traction.
Results
Takeaway
The saving falls on agents, who upload many photos a day. The company did not say how many agents use the feature.
