AUTOMATE & AGENTS

Run your listings from Claude

The newest way to sell more while doing less: connect your AI assistant once, and it writes listings, makes the media and checks ranks - because you asked it to. Below the lessons: a real session, so you can see the whole job happen. 6 lessons · ~15 min · New to AI agents. Free.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE · A REAL WORKFLOW, ABRIDGED
YouCheck my catalog for media gaps and fill the worst one.
AssistantRan the free media-gap scan. Three listings still have no video - the bamboo cutting board on TikTok Shop among them. A Standard 8-second spot is 17 credits. Generate it?
YouYes.
AssistantRunning the video generator with the listing's own title and keywords... job accepted, polling until it is ready. Any failed generation refunds itself in full.
AssistantDone: 8 seconds, vertical, native voiceover, saved to your vault - 17 credits charged. It is the video playing here.
The spot from this session - a real generator output, untouched.

One sentence in, finished video out - and the same chat can write the listing, restage the photos and re-check your rank. That is the whole point of connecting your assistant: most of the job can happen automatically, with every credit quoted before it is spent.

Quick answers

Can an AI assistant manage my product listings?

Yes. Every Optimlister plan ships an API key and a one-URL connector; once connected, Claude or ChatGPT can write listings, generate photos and video, and check ranks - always asking before a credit is spent.

What is Autopilot?

A free draft mode: about once a week Optimlister scans your catalog for missing media and emails you a costed plan with one-click, prefilled generators. It never generates and never spends on its own - you approve every step.

How long does connecting an assistant take?

About a minute: paste one connector URL, add your key. Your first successful connect adds 10 credits.

What does agent-made media cost?

The same as in the app: 2 credits per photo edit, 17 credits per 8-second spot, 34 credits for a 16-second film - always quoted in chat before running.

See it work

Three steps, and what each one actually produces - words, pictures and video.

1
Give it what you have
A listing, a link, a photo, a product name, or the email a marketplace just sent you.
2
It writes, draws and checks, per marketplace
Six different listings and the images to go with them, each to that marketplace's limits and rules, with measured keywords behind the words.
3
You publish; it keeps watching
Files, exact fields or one-click fill; then daily rank, price and listing-health watch.
One product, six listingsExample · bamboo cutting board · pictures made by Optimlister
Why each version differs: every card is written fresh to the rule printed on it - Amazon now uses a 75-character Item name plus 125-character Item Highlights and benefit bullets, Etsy uses buyer-friendly titles and up to 13 tags, eBay uses item specifics, and Walmart uses structured attributes. The meter under each title shows how much of that marketplace's title limit the example uses. Every asset here is a real generator output with its exact cost - see the receipts.
