What it does
Xianyu AutoAgent is a Chinese-language project that answers buyer messages on Xianyu, a Chinese second-hand marketplace, around the clock. It uses a large language model to reply with the conversation history in mind.
Different "expert" prompts handle different kinds of messages, such as price bargaining (with step-by-step discounts), technical questions and general customer service. You can switch a chat back to manual control with a keyword.
It runs with Python and needs an AI model key and your Xianyu web login cookies. The README says it is for learning and exchange only.
Who it's for
Xianyu sellers and developers interested in AI customer-service bots.
