The Assistant

One screen your shop runs on.

Ask for anything the way you'd ask a person. The assistant finds the car, drafts the work, and waits for your OK on the changes you choose. You stay the one who decides.

The home screen: what you asked, what it did, what's waiting, and the day's numbers, all in one place.

The part that makes it trustworthy

Ask. Confirm. Done.

An AI that touches your money and your records should not free-wheel. You decide which of its actions run on their own and which stop and wait for you.

1 You ask

Type it or hold the mic and say it. Plain English, the way you'd tell a service advisor. No menus, no field-by-field forms.

2 It shows its work

A running checklist of exactly what it looked up and drafted, in order. You see the reasoning, not just the result.

3 You confirm

Bigger changes, like opening a repair order or booking an appointment, show a confirm card first and wait. Smaller ones, like adding a customer's concern, run on their own unless you set them to ask first.

Every action is attributed and permanent.

Each change the assistant makes is written to an append-only audit trail naming both the assistant and the person who asked for it. Corrections are made by voiding and re-issuing rather than by editing history, so the record of what actually happened survives.

Over a hundred things it can do

What you can ask it.

Anything in the left column answers straight away. The bigger changes draft the work and wait for your OK, and you can make any of the others wait too.

Look things up

  • What's in the lot?
  • Pull up Mrs. Park's Sienna
  • Who's waiting out front?
  • What did we do on this car last time?
  • Read me the end of day
  • What's open Thursday afternoon?
  • Who called about the Camry?

Do the work

  • Open an RO for the Civic
  • Add a brake inspection to bay 3
  • Approve the oil change on 1091
  • Put 62,410 on the Sienna's order
  • Create a customer for this walk-in
  • Book Lena for a brake inspection Monday

Close it out

  • Build the invoice for bay 3
  • Record a $312 card payment
  • Move the Corolla to the lot
  • Decode this VIN for me
  • Let the team know the Camry is ready
  • Get Northside Tire on the line

The gate lives in the server, not the screen. Even in live voice, an action set to ask first is refused unless it came back to you for a tap.

Say it out loud, hands dirty.

Nobody at a counter wants to type. Hold the mic and talk, and the assistant answers out loud. There's a full-screen voice pad for the counter and a live conversation mode when you'd rather just talk than tap.

  • Hold-to-talk on any screen
  • Spoken answers so you can keep working
  • A hands-free pad built for the front counter
  • The same confirm card for anything set to ask first
"Read me the end of day."
Cash $410, card $2,910, check $860.
Four thousand one hundred eighty total.

It remembers the car.

Conversations name themselves and attach to the vehicle they were about. Six months later, "what did we do on this car last time" is a question with an actual answer instead of a hunt through paper.

  • Chats auto-titled and filed by vehicle
  • Per-car history the assistant can search and recall
  • Nothing to tag or organize by hand

It learns your shop.

Paste in how you actually do things: your policies, your warranty terms, the way you quote a job, the rules you tell every new hire. The assistant uses them when it answers, so it sounds like your shop instead of the internet.

  • Paste text in, no formatting or setup
  • Used automatically when it's relevant to the question
  • Connect outside tools too, like free VIN decoding

It has a browser of its own.

Some jobs live on other websites: a part price on your supplier's site, a repair procedure behind a login. The assistant can do them on a computer of its own while you get on with the car. Watch its screen if you like, or stop it any time.

  • You sign it in on its screen once. CarLifeOS never sees or keeps the password.
  • The home screen lists every site it's signed in to, and an admin signs it out with one click.

Your AI, your call

Set it up with us, or bring your own key.

The assistant runs on a major AI provider. The account is yours either way; the only question is who does the paperwork.

White-glove setup

You own the AI account; we do the clerical work. On a call we create the provider account together, you type your own card into the provider's own site, and we set the spending limits and enter the key. No markup, ever, because the bill isn't ours.

Bring your own key

Already comfortable with this? Paste in a key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepSeek and you're running. Swap providers or models whenever you want, from Settings, without asking us.

How that works →

Watch it open a repair order.

Twenty minutes, your scenarios, no slideware. Bring your messiest Tuesday.
