AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use multimodal models to read screenshots, detect fakes, and check item history. Use agents to manage escrow and match trades. Use voice assistants for dispute resolution. A human reviewer checks AI decisions on high-value or flagged trades before release.

What your team sees

Key screens: Listing upload, AI verification dashboard, escrow status, dispute console. Use a dashboard for active listings and trades, a central upload area for screenshots and profile links, and a right-hand panel for AI analysis results and history. Let users track escrow stages visually. Display verified, pending, and disputed states. Provide a chat overlay for trade guidance. In this product, the first view is listing upload, followed by AI verification dashboard and escrow status.

Accounts and administration

User accounts, trade records, escrow balances, dispute cases, AI audit logs, payment history, and permission levels for moderators.

Integrations and data access

Steam API, Stripe payments, Discord and Reddit for listing syndication, and email for notifications.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will full-time skin traders and middlemen on Discord and Reddit use it to solve "selling game items is a gamble with fake items, chargebacks, and slow manual reviews"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Run a paid pilot with 20 traders; baseline scam rate at 10% and support time at 2 hours per trade.
4. Measure, then decide. Track reduction in scam rate from 10% to 1% and average trade time from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. One game, Counter-Strike 2, with vision model verification and Stripe escrow. First modules: listing upload and AI verification, plus basic escrow. Manual review for all high-value trades.

After the MVP. Automate dispute resolution with voice AI, add more games, implement API access for power sellers, and introduce subscription tiers with faster payouts.

What the build depends on. Access to multimodal AI models, Steam API for trade verification, and Stripe for escrow.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

A rough indication of monthly hosting and AI model costs once it is live, not tested. Real costs depend on usage, file sizes and the models chosen.

Your brand, or this one

Run it under your own brand, or start from this concept style.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a 5% fee per successful trade and a $20/month premium subscription for power sellers with API access and faster payouts.

Message to test

Trade game items safely with AI-verified transactions and instant dispute resolution.

Where to find buyers

Discord servers, Reddit communities, and gaming forums where skin traders gather.

Lead magnet

Free AI verification for the first 10 trades per user.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: Build listing upload and Steam profile linking.
2. Week 2: Integrate vision model for screenshot verification.
3. Week 3: Set up Stripe escrow and basic trade flow.
4. Week 4: Launch to a small Discord community and test with 20 users.

Paid pilot

Run a paid pilot with 20 traders; baseline scam rate at 10% and support time at 2 hours per trade. Success if scam rate drops to 1% and support time to 10 minutes. Decision: expand to more games if metrics hit.

Success metrics

Reduction in scam rate from 10% to 1% and average trade time from 2 hours to 15 minutes.

Retention and expansion

Ongoing transaction fees and subscription revenue; AI improves with more data, increasing trust and repeat usage.

Why clients would pick it

Over time, the AI learns from trade patterns and fraud attempts, improving accuracy and trust, making it harder for competitors to match the safety and speed.

Alternatives and positioning

Manual marketplaces like Discord and Reddit, or platforms with human support; this differs by full AI automation.

Main delivery costs

AI model usage (vision and language), Stripe payment fees, cloud hosting, and occasional human reviewer salaries.

Limit trade values, require verified profiles, and flag suspicious items. Must not release funds without trade confirmation or use AI for high-value disputes without human review.
