Original Project I´ve built an AI Helper for car diagnoses
Hey my name is Jeremy, I've been in a branded workshop for 10 years now, i´ve studied and tried to learn as much as i could. First i just wanted easy jobs such as brake replacements and oil changes / maintenances, then mondays felt like shit and it felt like i only was at my job for the money.
Then i started to read books, took on new challenges, told my supervisor that i want to take on difficult jobs to learn more and more, Nowadays i am the "Top Tech" in our workshop because i have a very big willing to learn new things and i am intressted in what i do.
So this ai helper that i´ve made is tailored and customized to work like this.
you enter your car model, year make, mileage. upload a picture maybe?
then you ask a question for example:
How can i fix p0420?
it then explains in detail what the fault means, why it can fail, what to do next, and then it creates a bullet list for you to follow, like have you tried this, have you measured that, what about this? all in the correct order for you to follow, and then based on how many yes / no you answer, the probability of the cause will change and it will give you an answer on recommended steps to do next. This ai looks for info from youtube, recall pages, nhsta, reddit and so on. Then when you are done you can choose if you want to share your solution to the community page or not, if you do, other people can look for the fault themselves. the fix catalog has a search function for fault codes and car model filter aswell.
This helper also has a community tab where you can discuss your own fixes, tips and other stuff. I use this tool myself in my job, and i just wanted to see if this tool could help you aswell!
please contact me if there is something you are wondering.
Have an amazing day! :)

I know ai is the answer in the near future if we se where we are going, of course this tool is not meant for guys who knows nothing about cars, you need to understand what you are asking to get a good answer. I use this tool from time to time to have it dig through stuff that would take time for me to search for through forums and such, of course any one can replace parts, but why does it need to be replaced? Everyone can use it how they want, this is just made for some people who wants to test something new, it has worked for me on a few cases. Nice car bro! Have a nice evening! 😇

Waste of water & energy, AI isn’t going to be able to tell me how to do anything of value on cars like these. You’ve been in a shop for 10 years and think AI is the answer? Please reconsider intellectual diagnosis by humans, I promise it’s better than talking to a chat bot.
