Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

What critics are saying

What makes Tilt unique

  • 2026 Snap turns live video into listings in under one second.
  • Tilt spans UK, Italy, Spain, and Poland, unlike narrower local rivals.
  • Abhi Thanendran and Neil Shah built Tilt from Revolut execution experience.

Tilt launches AI tool that creates product listings in 1 second, boosts sales 47%

Tilt, a live auction app for fashion and collectibles, has launched Snap, an AI tool that automatically creates product listings from live video in under one second. Early testing shows the feature delivers a 47% increase in sales through improved listing quality. The tool addresses a key industry problem: marketplace sellers lose roughly 16 hours weekly to manual administration, with individual listings taking 8-12 minutes to create. Snap identifies products with 94.8% accuracy and generates optimised titles, descriptions, categories and prices whilst sellers stream. Founded in 2021 by former Revolut employees Abhi Thanendran and Neil Shah, London-based Tilt has raised $27 million from investors including Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures. The platform operates across the UK, Italy, Spain and Poland.
