ListingForge
An open-source, local-first e-commerce listing generation tool that runs open models on the seller's local device to generate product titles, selling points and descriptions. Photos never leave the local machine, and a built-in rules engine enforces platform field constraints.
Timeline (last 90 days)
ListingForge is an open-source project in which photo and copy generation all run on the seller's local laptop, with open model weights and no per-use fees.
For a seller launching 60 products per month, at roughly 40 minutes to write a listing for each product, that amounts to about 40 hours per month.
ListingForge's pricing is a ₹499/month license for batches over 10 items.
Hosted closed-source frontier models can write a listing in about 5 seconds, whereas ListingForge's median on a CPU laptop is about 75 seconds.
In the first test on Amazon India, the model wrote 163 characters into Etsy's 140-character title field and generated 14 tags (instead of 13), one of which was 28 characters long.
ListingForge's rules engine truncates the title at the last complete word within 140 characters, discards excess tags, and rejects overlong tags.
The model once hallucinated, describing a spray-painted MDF box as "hand-carved teak".
The author prevents material hallucination through prompt rules (describe only visible content) and by adding an editable material field that the seller must confirm.
The author solved the Hinglish consistency problem with two few-shot examples and repeated the "Hinglish, Roman script" instruction at the end of the writer prompt to stabilize output.
ListingForge uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) to push batch generation progress to the seller's frontend.
