Inspiration

Have you ever had anything lying around for a while, yet still have no use for? Well with bartr, you can exchange that for something else, allowing you to reuse things instead of tossing it.

What it does

It's a marketplace to list items and trade them with others. However, it is fully autonomous - each user has an agent which takes care of everything, from listing the product to negotiating for other products, by itself. All you have to do is take some pictures of your items and then approve or decline the trade at the end.

How we built it

We use next.js with typescript and react for the majority of the app. For agents, we utilize the codex app-server to use the latest frontier models.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest issue was setting up the translation model between the app-server and the app. Turns out threads and context is not easy...

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It all works!

What's next for bartr

  • (much) better ui
  • more robust fallbacks so that the site is easier to navigate
  • the ability to edit marketplace posts or preferences
