Welcome to the samla.ai blog

Welcome - this is the blog of samla.ai, the AI app for cataloging collections. It is written for people whose homes are full of interesting things: records, cards, bottles, boxes of who-knows-what. Expect product news, collecting stories and practical pieces on selling, insuring and passing things on - in English and the eight other languages samla.ai speaks.

If you are new here: samla.ai catalogs what you own straight from your camera. Point it at a record, a trading card, a bottle of wine or that odd lamp from your grandmother, and the app recognizes it, fills in the details and files it into your collection rooms. Look up mode answers the quick version of the question - what is this, and what is it roughly worth - before anything even lands in the catalog.

What will you find here?

  • Product news - new features, marketplace connections and app updates, explained in normal sentences
  • Collecting stories - vinyl, trading cards, wine, sneakers, stamps and the other shelves people care about
  • Practical pieces - selling, insuring, moving, inheriting and downsizing with a catalog at your back
  • The occasional look behind the scenes at how we build samla.ai

Where should you start?

A couple of guides are already live: what your vinyl records are worth, and how to document your home for insurance. They set the tone for what we want this blog to be - concrete, honest and useful the same evening you read it. The posts land in English and in the eight other languages samla.ai speaks, so feel free to read in whichever one feels like home.
