Hi HN! We have been building an AI assistant to assist DIYers and professional mechanics with auto repairs.

My co-founder is an ASE certified master technician, and the software for finding technical data for specific vehicles is pretty painful to use for professional technicians and it’s even worse for DIYers.

We have indexed all of the technical service bulletins (TSBs) from manufacturers for all vehicles. These are known issues for a specific vehicle model from manufacturer communications, and we have an AI interface that can easily diagnose issues based on this data and provide steps for diagnostics and repair, along with full reference to the original manufacturer documents.

Coming soon, we plan on integrating: - Full manufacturer repair and replacement procedures for any vehicle - Integrated YouTube videos and guides - Parts and equipment recommendations - Consultation service with professional technicians

We have a free trial for first 2 vehicles that you can sign up for on our website, and we would love to hear any feedback from the community!

I sign up, it tries to show me what it knows about Honda Civics.

So it's useless to me - I have no way of knowing if it's any help at all with my two older and a little obscure AMG Mercedes I own.

Serious miscalculation on how to present the freemium model, imo.

Hi there! The Honda Civic was a sample car so that you can try out the platform without having to add a car first. But you can absolutely add your own car, and you can add up to 2 cars with a free account, and I'm happy to extend the limit also for your account to try out.
This sounds pretty cool to me. I've bookmarked it and will give it a shot soon. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much! Would love to hear your feedback! =)
Very useful tool!
