Wot-Box User Guide

The core feature of Wot-Box is instantly cataloging the contents of a physical box using your camera.

• Click the New Box button on your dashboard.
• Give the box a memorable name and an optional description.
• Take a clear, well-lit photo of the items inside the box. You can take multiple photos if the box is deep.
• Our AI will automatically scan the images and generate a searchable list of everything it detects!

While the AI does the heavy lifting, you stay in control.

• Pinning Items: AI-detected items might change if you scan a new photo. If you want to permanently save an item to the list, click the Pin icon next to it.
• Manual Items: You can always manually type in items that the AI might have missed. These are permanently saved automatically.
• Tags: Assign flexible tags like #camping or #winter to your boxes to easily group them together.

Bridging the digital and physical world.

• Every box automatically generates a unique QR Code.
• Click Print QR Label to print a cleanly formatted label to stick on your physical box.
• Scanning the physical label with any smartphone camera will instantly open that exact box's inventory page in Wot-Box.

Wot-Box is built for collaboration, tracking items across families or professional groups.

• Direct Sharing: Open a box's Share Settings and type in someone's email address to instantly grant them access.
• Teams & Families: Click Teams on your dashboard. Administrators can group users together into recurring teams.
• Instead of sharing a box with 5 individual people, you can share it with the "Family" team in one click.
• Any user with access to a box is granted full collaborative edit rights.

Never lose anything again.

• Use the main search bar on your dashboard.
• Typing "Glue" won't just search the titles of your boxes, it will actively search the deep inventory contents spanning across all your boxes, tagging, and descriptions instantly.

The quality of your photos directly affects how accurately Wot-Box can identify your items. Follow these tips to get the best results from our AI scanner.

Good Examples

Well-lit & organized

Items are clearly separated, photographed from above with natural light. Each item is individually identifiable. Brands, logos, and colors are visible.

Clear & identifiable

Overhead angle shows all items distinctly. Colorful items are easy for the AI to distinguish. No overlapping or bundling hides what's inside.

What to Avoid

Dark & wrapped

Poor lighting, items hidden in bags and newspaper wrapping. The AI cannot see through packaging — unwrap items or at least expose one face to the camera.

Blurry & angled

Extreme side angles hide most contents. Flash glare and motion blur make items unrecognizable. Always shoot from above and hold steady.

Wot-Box isn't just for moving house! Here are some popular ways people use Wot-Box to stay organized in everyday life.

Self-Storage Units

Label every box in your storage unit with a QR code. When you need to find something months later, just search from your phone instead of opening every box.

Garages & Workshops

Keep track of tools, seasonal items, and supplies across multiple shelves. Scan a QR code on any box to instantly see what's inside without climbing a ladder.

Pantries & Cupboards

Catalog pantry containers, deep cupboard shelves, or kitchen drawers. Use tags like #pantry or #kitchen for quick filtering. Share with your household so everyone knows where things are.

Home Closets & Linen Stores

Track seasonal decorations, sporting equipment, linens, and more. Perfect for items you only access a few times a year — scan the QR code instead of rummaging through every box.

Drawer Contents

Never lose a specialized tool, battery, or stationery item again. Catalog the contents of your messy desk, kitchen, or workbench drawers for instant searchability.

Toolboxes

Keep a detailed inventory of your toolboxes. Easily check if you have the right size wrench or a specific type of plier without having to dig through heavy metal boxes.
