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.
We’ve just rolled out a big improvement to how people interact with listings. Our new AI-powered Quick Question blocks are now automatically adapted to each listing’s content.
Instead of generic “ask seller” prompts, the system analyzes the ad and generates the most relevant quick questions — for example, availability, condition, documentation, or specific product details.
This makes it easier for buyers to:
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.
This update is another step toward making online buying and selling smoother, smarter, and more human-friendly.

We’ve shipped several improvements to enhance the garage sales browsing experience.
Tile Layout: Selected pages now feature our experimental tile layout, making content lighter and easier to scan with better visual structure.
AI-Powered Highlights: Our AI automatically extracts the two most critical details – address and date/time – from both text and images, highlighted in a dedicated block for instant visibility.
Time-Based Filters: New filtering options let users browse by timing (Today, Tomorrow, This week, Next week) to better plan their visits.
These changes focus on reducing friction and improving discoverability for time-sensitive listings.

We’ve been experimenting with a new layout on some of our pages. Instead of long blocks of text, we switched to a tile view: short snippets with more visuals.
The idea is simple — make browsing easier, less overwhelming, and closer to the style people are used to from social platforms.
This is just a test, and we’d love to know what you think. Does it feel clearer? Do you miss the longer format?
