Advancement in analytics

Today I decided to sell my samsung monitor which I got 10 months back. It is having a vga port, which I cannot connect to my HDMI port laptop. I have decided to post in OLX.
I downloaded the OLX app and as soon as it was open the camera icon came to take the picture of the item we need to sell. I took two pictures and was then searching for the category of the item to select. I only could find the option as 'other items'.To my surprise the title of the ad came automatically - Samsung flat screen monitor'. I did not even gave any other options everything what I need to say about the item was there including company name and also flat type(Only the screen size I had to give later).

From the picture I took , they identified the type of object. Since the company name Samsung logo was present in the front of the screen it identified that and formed the title. What should I give more than these!.

The image identification and analysis have grown so much that how easy it is made to ease our work. Thank to analytics and machine learning.
