“Research all the items and fairly price them”
Someone typed nearly those exact words to dassi, and we keep coming back to it because so much small-business work on Facebook looks like that. Plenty of small business owners run a real share of the operation there, with a Page that customers message, a group or two they moderate, and Marketplace for moving stock or used equipment or whatever came back unsold from the last trade show. It piles up. Membership requests sit untouched over a weekend while someone asks about pickup times in Messenger for the fortieth time, and the listings you meant to post on Tuesday are still in a spreadsheet on Friday.
Example: pricing and listing a batch on Marketplace
You have 15 items in a Google Sheet, each with a name, a condition and a line of notes. You ask dassi to price and list them.
- For each row it searches Marketplace near you, plus any other site you name (eBay’s sold listings work well), and writes three comparable items with links and prices into the sheet.
- It proposes a price next to the comps. You overwrite the ones you disagree with.
- It opens the create-listing form in your session and fills in the title, price, category, condition and description from the row.
- It stops before Publish. You add or check the photos and publish, or tell dassi to publish that one.
- When an item sells, it marks the listing sold and updates the sheet.
Comps from Marketplace are noisy, because an asking price isn’t a sale price, and we haven’t found a clean way around that. Sold listings on eBay help for common things. For an odd item like a 1970s drafting table, the comps mostly show that nobody agrees, and you end up pricing on instinct the way you did before. Ecommerce sellers who list the same stock on Shopify or Etsy can run one sheet across every storefront instead.
Groups and your Page inbox
If we had to pick one Facebook job to teach first, it would be the membership requests, mostly because that’s the chore people seem to leave longest. dassi reads pending requests along with the answers to your membership questions and sorts them against rules you wrote in plain English. The obvious ones come to you as a batch to approve or decline. The rest wait for you one by one, and they tend to be the interesting ones anyway, like a brand-new account that skipped every question, or a person who turns out to run the shop across the street. Pending posts get checked against your group rules in the same pass.
Messages to your Page get a draft reply in your voice, which you send yourself or approve for dassi to send, the same approve-first habit behind review replies.
All of it can run on a schedule, every morning at 9 for example, as long as your browser is open then, since that’s where it runs. Posting to Instagram fits in the same morning and has its own page.
Facebook’s rules
Meta’s terms prohibit inauthentic behavior and collecting data by automated means without permission. Marketplace adds its own Commerce Policies, and reposting the same item over and over is a reliable way to get listings removed. So dassi does no fake engagement of any kind, including the popular trick of pasting one listing into thirty buy-and-sell groups. Getting a restricted account back can take weeks, and we’ve never seen a bulk-posting tool worth that.
It works on your own Page, groups and listings, at about the pace you’d manage yourself. If Facebook wants you to log in again, dassi uses whatever Chrome’s password manager autofills, and any confirmation code is yours to type. The page content it reads goes to the AI model you chose, passing through dassi’s relay if you use included credits rather than your own key.
