How are answers produced?
The assistant searches indexed workshop-manual chunks, checks vehicle fit, then writes an answer with source cards and referenced manual images.

Built for old vehicles with messy documentation.
The first library is Mitsubishi L200 K50. The product model is broader: make, model, generation, variant, manual scope and user garage.
Cost-controlled from day one.
Beta access uses invites, monthly quota and optional Stripe subscription so live testing can scale without uncontrolled LLM spend.
FAQ
Can community notes change the official answer?
No. Community notes are shown separately from manual-backed answers and require admin review before they are visible.
Does it replace a mechanic?
No. It helps you find the right procedure faster, but diagnosis, safety checks and final repair decisions still require mechanical judgement.
Why invite-only?
The beta is cost-controlled while API usage, answer quality and new manual-library requests are measured with real users.
