Investment Spotlight - Meet Mastertech.ai, an AI co-pilot that assists automotive technicians in repairing and diagnosing vehicle issues 🚘 How it works: - Technicians use the app to scan the vehicle’s identification number. - Then, they can look up vehicle procedures and specifications for the job that needs to be done. They can also enter vehicle symptoms or customer concerns. - Through a chat interface, Mastertech provides step-by-step guidance based on the vehicle’s manufacturer specifications and the experience level of the technician.
