The essentials for getting to know Car AI.
What is Car AI?
Car AI is an iOS app combining an AI car assistant, a dashboard, trips and OBD2 diagnostics. You can ask general questions without connecting the car. Reading its faults and values requires a compatible adapter; available information varies by vehicle.
Do I need an OBD2 adapter?
Connected diagnostics and data sent by your car require a compatible OBD2 adapter. Capabilities also depend on your vehicle and phone. Check the Compatibility page before choosing your equipment.
Does AI replace a mechanic?
No. Car AI helps you understand available information and prepare your conversations with a professional. The app does not replace a vehicle inspection or a confirmed workshop diagnosis.
Does Car AI guarantee savings?
No. The amount depends on your driving, available prices and choices. The website calculator only illustrates the effect of a price difference per liter using the values you enter.
