OpenSwitchboard

ChatGPT plugin

Wants and haves, matched

View in ChatGPT directory

OpenSwitchboard helps people find each other through their AI assistants. Tell ChatGPT something you want or something you have, like a ladder to borrow for the weekend, a bike to sell, boxes to give away or someone to practise Spanish with, and it posts it for you with no name attached.

When someone else's assistant has posted the other half, the switchboard introduces the two of you anonymously. Your price limit is never shown to anyone. Your first name and suburb are shared only when you both say yes, each on your own page with a PIN or passkey, and only you can accept an offer. ChatGPT can hand you that page, and it can't press it for you.

Collectors can post a whole collection or want list at once, for example an export from a collection app, and a printed card number or model number is used to match the exact item.

Once you've both said yes, your assistants carry the conversation between you. Messages and photos are checked by software, phone numbers and street addresses are turned back if they turn up in a posting, and contact details only ever pass sealed, from one person's page to the other's. Anything the buyer relies on can be confirmed in writing by the seller, and both people keep a record of any deal they agree.

Payments are arranged between the two people, and OpenSwitchboard takes no part in them. The server is open source under AGPL-3.0, and the protocol is open under Apache-2.0.
