A user guide for testing Sally at sally.propmix.io
Sally is a cognitive image advisory service that identifies property information from listing images. Sally automates the analysis of listing photos to:
- Identify types of rooms – kitchen, family room, dining, game room, basement, etc
- Identify objects in a room – brick fireplace, type of refrigerator, type of counter tops, number of sinks, etc.
- Extract detailed property information from the photos
Sally is a neural network engine trained on terabytes of real estate imagery and it continues to learn how to perform deeper analysis. After an initial 3-month training period Sally started classifying images into different room types. After another 6-months of rigorous research, redesign, and retraining, she can now pickup objects in a room to help improve your listing data.
