For auction houses that sell online
Your auction marketing, done in two minutes.
Upload the same photos and CSV you already send to HiBid. Auction Autopilot picks your best lots, designs the flyer, writes the Facebook post, emails, text message and ads, and sends them to Mailchimp, Facebook and 1,000+ other apps. Nothing goes out until you approve it.
Built by an auction house, used every week at Aladdin's Auction.
How it works
From catalog to campaign before your coffee cools
No designer, no copywriter, no copying and pasting between five tabs.
Add your auction
Drop in your catalog CSV and photos, the closing time and your auction link. We read titles, brands and retail prices automatically.
We build the kit
Your best lots are picked by retail value, one per brand. You get a branded flyer, the post, both emails, a text, ad headlines and a posting schedule.
You approve and send
Swap any lot, tweak any word, then send it to Mailchimp, your Facebook pages or any app you use. Nothing posts without your click.
Features
Everything a sale needs to fill seats
Flyers that sell
A 1080×1350 flyer sized for Facebook and Instagram, with your hero lot, six highlights, retail values and closing time. Three styles.
Copy written for you
Captions, announcement and "closes tonight" emails, SMS and Google Ads text, written by AI from your real lots. Never generic.
Mailchimp drafts
Both emails land in Mailchimp as ready-to-schedule drafts with your flyer uploaded. Review and hit schedule.
Post to every page
Send the flyer and caption to all your Facebook pages at once. Run two brands? Both get the post.
Posting schedule
A day-by-day plan from announcement to last call, timed to your closing, so nothing gets forgotten on a busy week.
You stay in control
Emails are created as drafts and posts only go out when you click Send. Your logins and keys stay private.

Questions
Good questions
Do I have to use HiBid?
No. If your auction platform can export a CSV of lots with photos, Auction Autopilot can read it. HiBid's upload format works out of the box.
Will it post anything without asking me?
Never. Emails are created as drafts and posts only go out when you click Send. You can change any lot or any word first.
Who writes the copy?
Our AI writes from your actual lots, brands, retail prices and closing time. If you'd rather not use AI, built-in templates work too.
Is there a phone app?
Yes. Auction Autopilot is coming to iPhone and Android, so you can build and send a kit from the warehouse floor.
What happens to my data?
Your catalog and photos are used only to make your marketing. We don't sell your data or share your customer lists. See our privacy policy.
