## Core Features

### 1. Better Marketplace Search
Spottable helps users focus on listings that actually match what they meant to search for, with better local relevance and less irrelevant Marketplace noise.

### 2. Saved Searches
Create searches with keywords, location, and price range. Paid plans support 3-20 saved searches and currently check Marketplace hourly for new listings.

### 3. AI Deal Analysis
One tap analyzes any listing with AI. Each analysis provides:
- **Deal Score (1-10)**: At-a-glance rating of how good the deal is
- **Market Value Comparison**: How the price compares to similar sold items
- **Condition Assessment**: AI evaluates visible wear, damage, or issues from photos
- **Red Flags**: Scam indicators with severity levels

### 4. Fraud Detection
The AI checks for:
- Stock photos or manufacturer images instead of real photos
- IMEI or serial mismatches
- Counterfeit or authenticity concerns
- Pricing that looks suspicious relative to the item
- New accounts selling high-value items

### 5. Smart Messaging
After analysis, AI generates ready-to-send opening messages:
- **Lowball Offer**
- **Fair Offer**
- **Validation Question**

### 6. Watchlist
Save individual listings to track price drops and status changes over time.

### 7. AI Chat
After running an analysis, ask follow-up questions about the listing with the item, photos, seller info, and market context in view.
