Buyer pays now. Digital delivery in seconds via R2. No bidding required. ⏱ ### Timed Auction "Set a start price." Highest bid wins when time runs out. Auto-extends on late bids. Like eBay, but faster. 🎙 ### Live Auction "Go live. Buyers bid in real time." CF Calls video. SpacetimeDB bids. Sub-100ms propagation. You host, we handle the rest. 🤖 ### AI-Hosted "List your item. AI hosts the sale." Private-preview hosting tools are planned for narration, bid calls, and buyer questions with seller controls. Axis 2 — Distribution ## Buyers reach you from anywhere. One auction, every surface. Bids from your app, site, WhatsApp, social comments, phone, marketplace feeds, or a buyer's AI agent — all routed into the same real-time room. 📥 Marketplace and storefront imports Bring exported listings into vAuction, map fields once, and turn them into fixed-price listings, timed lots, live auction queues, and custom seller pages.

From quiet suggestions in the background to supervised co-hosting, the AI dial is being built as a policy-controlled preview surface. Sellers stay in control of what the agent can do. 01 Behind the scenes AI helps draft lot descriptions, reserve notes, fraud signals, and post-session summaries before they reach buyers. 02 Advisory Live coaching during your session. Real-time suggestions — when to extend, what's selling, which buyers to acknowledge. You decide what to act on. 03 Assistive Private-preview tools can help moderate chat, answer buyer FAQ, prepare lot queues, and handle outbid notifications while you stay in control. 04 Co-pilot preview AI co-hosting is being designed for narration, bid calls, and multi-channel questions with seller supervision and override controls. 05 Autonomous host planned Longer-term agent-hosted sessions will require explicit seller policy, audit, payment, and fulfillment controls before public availability.
