I built an AI-powered vehicle analysis tool looking for ho
Discussion
Hello everyone,
A quick introduction: I'm a software engineer and I've been working in the automotive industry for almost 25 years.
Like many of you, I've watched AI become increasingly present in the automotive world over the past few years.
Because of my job, friends regularly ask me for advice whenever they're looking to buy a new car. It saves them from spending hours browsing forums, reviews, YouTube videos, and specialist websites especially since most people only buy a car every 5 or 10 years.
The funny thing is, just because I work in the industry doesn't mean I automatically know every model. What I actually do is spend time gathering information from road tests, owner reviews, forums, videos, classifieds, reliability reports, and other sources before forming my own opinion and sharing it with them.
That got me thinking: could AI make this process easier?
So, over the past several months, I've spent countless evenings and weekends building a tool that aims to do exactly that: provide a comprehensive analysis of virtually any vehicle for people who aren't automotive experts, while still being detailed enough to help them make an informed decision.
It took a lot of research, development, trial and error, and plenty of testing. I even recruited friends and family to test it over and over (it was finally their turn to do some work!).
I now feel the application is mature enough to share with a wider audience.
I figured the best people to evaluate it would be genuine car enthusiasts, which is why I'm posting here today.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to give you access. It's completely free you just need to create an account.
I'm not sure whether posting the website here is allowed, so I won't do so unless the moderators are happy with it. If you're interested, feel free to send me a private message.
I hope this post is appropriate for the forum. If not, I'll happily remove it I'm only here to get honest feedback and improve the project.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
