3rd place at OpenAI Build Week Manila, the first OpenAI hackathon in the Philippines, out of 250+ participants across 60 teams.

Built Yardshtick, which turns one photo of a pile of stuff into detected items, written listings, suggested prices, and a shareable garage sale.

GPT-5.6 Vision for object understanding, SAM 2 for pixel-level segmentation, and AI-generated pricing and listing copy, all built in one day with Jerome, Edward, Kenaz, and Gabriel.

The hook

We gave a camera a sell button. It got us 3rd place.

The weekend

250+ participants across 60 teams joined OpenAI Build Week Manila, the first OpenAI hackathon in the Philippines.

We built Yardshtick: take one photo of a pile of stuff, and it detects every item, writes the listings, suggests prices, and turns the whole thing into a shareable garage sale.

Under the hood

GPT-5.6 Vision to understand and identify the objects. SAM 2 for pixel-level segmentation. AI-generated pricing and listing details to turn the whole scene into a storefront.

One photo. Multiple listings. Built in one day.

Team & thanks

Huge shoutout to Jerome, Edward, Kenaz, and Gabriel Labariento for building this with me.

Thank you to David Marquez for hosting OpenAI Build Week Manila, and great seeing Bryl Lim as one of the judges.

Still unreal.
