Bricklimit runs as a web app. It offers a dashboard, set management, import, analysis, EOL sets, and a wish list.

AI in use

Task of the AI

  • We use AI to categorize LEGO sets.
  • For this, the AI uses the transactions from the invoices.

What went wrong

  • The AI often assigned wrong prices.
  • The AI often assigned wrong categories.

What we changed

  • We then trained the AI with invoices.
  • This is meant to increase the reliability of the AI.
