Hi HN! I wanted to share something I’ve been working on after an interesting pivot. Last year I built a vehicle search tool that ran into legal issues with major listing sites. That experience led me to tackle a different problem – making the entire car ownership experience more accessible and data-driven.
Ended up building an AI interface that helps research any vehicle, access documentation, and manage ownership – think having a car expert, market analyst, and personal assistant rolled into one. Core features:
– Natural language interface to research any vehicle, parse manuals, and search relevant web/YouTube content (think perplexity for cars)
– Monitor market values and listings across North America
– Track maintenance, service records, registration dates for your garage
– Store ownership documents, recall info, service bulletins
Live demo: https://cardog.ai | Example: Ask about reliability ratings for the latest SUVs or “What should I look for when buying a used Model 3?”
Would love to hear what aspects of car ownership you find most frustrating.
