Correct an item’s identification with a note

samla.ai ·

The label is inside the pocket. The model number is on the back. Sometimes you know something the photograph cannot show. A short note gives samla.ai that extra clue when you ask it to identify the item again.

Give it the missing detail

Use a fact you can confirm: the brand on a hidden label, a model code or “this is a CD, not an LP”. Keep the note short. If you are unsure, say so rather than turning a guess into an instruction.

  • Open the item and tap the edit pen. Replace unclear photos if you have better ones.
  • In “AI tools”, add your clue under “Notes for the AI (optional)”.
  • Tap “Re-Identify Item”, then check the updated identification.
Edit Item on a phone in dark mode, with Notes for the AI under AI tools.

What changes when you run it again?

The app saves your edits, analyses the item’s photos again and refreshes identification fields, such as title, description, category and estimated value. Details you recorded as the owner, including location, quantity, purchase details and your own notes, are preserved. Check the result before relying on it.

Each run uses one scan from your monthly allowance. Your note remains with the item and can guide later identification and price checks, so correct or remove it if it is no longer useful.

Does the item need new photos?

No. The app can use the existing photos. Replace an unclear image or add a useful close-up before running identification again.

What if the result is still wrong?

Check that the note is accurate, add a clearer photo if possible, or edit the details yourself. You do not need to keep repeating the analysis.
