People don’t think in filters. They type what’s on their mind: “sofa vancouver”, “used bike”, “apartment near me”. A good marketplace search should understand that one line can include a keyword, a place, or a category – sometimes all at once.
That’s why we built “smart search” on Claz. As you type, it suggests keywords, locations, and categories together, with small hints when something matches indirectly – so it’s clear why it showed up. You can also refine your choices without getting stuck, especially on mobile where the search experience needs to be fast and forgiving.
The result: fewer steps, less guessing, and a quicker path from “I have an idea” to “here are the listings I want”.
This is just the start. We’ll keep improving suggestions, relevance, and speed so search feels less like configuring filters and more like simply asking for what you want.
Listing something online usually means filling out forms — picking the right category, entering details one by one, formatting everything just right.
Claz strives for simplicity — but that doesn’t mean giving up on structure. Relevant details matter. They help people find what they’re looking for, and they help the site deliver better results. The problem is that filling in all those details is tedious, time-consuming, and inconvenient. Most services make people do more to get better results. At Claz, we make AI do more instead.
Claz has always worked to fill in structured data behind the scenes, with as little friction as possible. AI has become a powerful tool in making that happen at a completely different scale.
Extracting what’s already there
When someone lists something on Claz, AI reads what they wrote and fills in the details — price, location, dates, and dozens of other specifics depending on what’s being listed.
Someone writes “$1,000/mo, 2br, downtown” — AI picks up the price, bedroom count, and fills in the right fields. A garage sale flyer has the address on it — AI reads it. Someone writes “this Saturday” — AI resolves the actual date.
The information is already there. We make AI put it where it belongs — so users don’t have to.
Asking for what’s missing
Every type of listing on Claz has its own set of expected details. A rental needs bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. A dog adoption needs the breed. A garage sale needs a date and an address. AI knows what’s expected — and what’s still missing.
When something important is absent, an AI assistant reaches out in chat — the same chat used for regular conversations between buyers and sellers. It asks a simple question. The user replies naturally — “1000, 123 Main Street, ap. 7” or “2 br 2 ba” — and the assistant fills in the details on the spot.
It all happens in a quick back-and-forth — no forms, no extra steps — and the listing becomes significantly more complete without the user doing more.
Claz has always worked to take care of the details quietly and only reach out when something is truly missing. AI lets us do that better and at a much greater scale.
Everything at Claz is created by real people. We make AI work harder so their listings work harder for them.
There's a growing trend in tech: companies racing to put AI front and center. AI-generated descriptions. AI-written titles. AI badges everywhere.
At Claz, we do things differently.
We believe AI works best when users don't notice it.
We've been always at the forefront of integrating AI into our platform for spam prevention, content classification and enrichment. We've been consistently rolling out improvements that use machine learning and artificial intelligence to make user experience smoother.
We aim at removing friction, not creating new distractions.
This is our philosophy, it's how we operate. We think this is what responsible use of AI looks like: invisible when it's not needed, helpful when it is.
Back in September, we introduced a refreshed, image-focused layout – a cleaner, more visual experience designed to help users browse listings faster and with less clutter. You can read that announcement here: Revamping Our Page Layout: A New Tile View Experience
Since then, we’ve received a lot of valuable feedback from our community. Many visitors told us they loved the simpler, more visual interface – but also wished some listings included more detailed descriptions. With certain items, users wanted additional context, nuance, or specifics that images alone couldn’t fully reflect.
Today, we’re excited to introduce an update inspired directly by this feedback.
We’ve added an optional, expanded item description section that provides more detail without sacrificing the clean, visual layout.
How it works:
On mobile: Tap the description area to smoothly expand it.
On desktop: Hover your cursor to reveal the extended content.
This keeps the page tidy, lightweight, and fast – but gives every user the option to dive deeper whenever they want.
For this enhanced view, the focus is placed on the seller’s own, user-created description. This allows each listing to reflect the seller’s voice, unique details, and important context that standardized attributes may miss.
Of course, all standardized attributes and structured data still work as filters, helping users quickly narrow down searches by the specifics that matter most – but the descriptive text is now front-and-center when expanded.
Your feedback drives our product decisions. Many users asked for:
clearer descriptions for certain kinds of items
additional context that photos alone couldn’t convey
optional detail that doesn’t clutter the main layout
This update delivers all of that – giving you a flexible, more informative browsing experience.
We’ll continue refining layouts, descriptions, filters, and media presentation to help every visitor find what they’re looking for faster and more intuitively. As always, your feedback is essential – keep it coming!

Save time by asking the right questions instantly
Get more accurate information about the item or service
Start conversations faster with sellers
For sellers, it means more qualified leads and fewer repetitive questions.
