How AI is used

32auctions is a tool for creating and managing online silent auctions. It allows organizers to list items, set bidding rules, and track performance through a web-based interface that does not require participants to download a separate app.

The platform is designed for a range of users, including community groups, sports teams, nonprofits, and corporate charity events. It supports the auction lifecycle, including item listing, bidder notifications, and the invoicing process.

Functionality includes an AI assistant to help write item descriptions and tools for transitioning online bids to physical bid sheets for live events. Buyers should confirm if the free tier's 20-item limit meets their needs or if they require paid upgrades for larger inventories.

Payment processing is supported through linked accounts, allowing organizations to collect funds from winning bidders, though transaction fees apply.
