Some products get recalled because they're dangerous. Then they get resold on Leboncoin and Vinted, and the next buyer never hears about it.
For the OpenAI DevDay hackathon in Paris I built Vetted. It checks second-hand listings against official recall lists.
#parisdevdayhack
The AI reads the messy part: listings and recall notices with model names, batch codes and typos. Fixed rules decide the answer, and it links the official notice.
14,457 French and EU recalls.

Sometimes only some units are recalled. This Hamax bike seat on Vinted is only affected if it was made between 01/2022 and 08/2026.
So Vetted says "check the label" and writes the message to the seller for you, in French.
Hackathon organisers: here's $50 in API credits.
Me, by Saturday night: $69.05.
24 million tokens and 22,464 requests later, the thing I'm building finally works on real data instead of demo data. Reveal Sunday.

Where it went: $47.85 reading and cleaning 14,457 messy public records, $3.20 on a self-test that tried to break it in French, German, Spanish and English, and $0.004 on embeddings.
The embeddings were the bargain of the weekend.
Building solo at the Paris DevDay Community Hackathon this weekend, in the Impact track. I'm working on a problem that affects a lot of families buying second-hand, and almost nobody talks about it. Demo on Sunday. @borvibe@openaidevs#parisdevdayhack
@borvibe@OpenAIDevs Haha no way! Then youβll get this one straight away. Itβs second-hand too, more on the online side. Canβt wait for you to see it on Sunday.
