AutoInsight North America is an AI-powered car shopping assistant designed for buyers in Canada and the United States. Instead of manually browsing dozens of manufacturer websites and insurance pages, you chat with it conversationally, telling it what you want and where you live. It then goes out and gathers live, real-world data to help you compare vehicles across five key areas, from pricing to safety. You start by describing your preferences, like wanting a German SUV under $70,000 CAD in Toronto. The tool figures out which country you are in based on your postal or zip code and automatically adjusts the currency and measurements accordingly. From there, it guides you through a five-step research workflow: budget and availability, detailed specifications, insurance cost estimates, safety and reliability ratings, and finally financing options and manufacturer incentives. This tool would be useful for anyone in the market for a new car who wants a structured, side-by-side comparison without spending hours digging through websites. For example, if you are torn between a BMW X3 and an Audi Q5, you can ask the assistant to research both. It will pull current local pricing, compare engine specs, and give you a real-time estimate of what insurance might cost in your specific area, all in a few seconds per phase. Under the hood, it relies on OpenAI for the conversational AI and a web search service to pull live data from manufacturer and insurance websites. It is designed to be relatively fast, taking 5 to 15 seconds per research phase rather than doing one massive, slow search. One notable tradeoff is that if the live web searches fail, the system falls back to sample data, clearly warning you that the numbers are estimates rather than live figures, since insurance estimates are for comparison rather than binding quotes.
