10 Core Capabilities

One Platform, Complete Intelligence

Replace 15-25 websites with one AI-powered conversation. Everything you need to buy, own, and sell smarter.

01

Research Engine

Ask any car question in plain English

Our AI understands car buying like a knowledgeable friend. Ask about reliability, comparisons, best years to buy, common problems—anything. Get expert answers backed by data, not opinions.

"Is the 2022 RAV4 more reliable than the CR-V?"
"What problems should I expect with a BMW 3-series?"
02

Inventory Intelligence

4.5M+ vehicles from 40,000+ dealers

Real-time nationwide inventory with smart matching. Describe what you want naturally, and we find vehicles that actually match your needs—not just keyword matches.

"Find me a reliable SUV under $30k with low miles"
"What trucks are available near me?"
03

Trust & Risk Layer

VIN decoding, recall checks, reliability data, accident history indicators. We surface the information that actually matters for your decision—not just what looks good on a listing.
