car-scout.com.au ↗

An AI-powered used-car research platform that searches 8,000+ listings, runs its own newsroom, and pays for itself with $4 passes.

A two-domain Australian platform: car-scout.com.au for live research, and the sister content site carscout.au for SEO-driven editorial — both fed by the same search + AI infrastructure.

What it does
  • Conversational AI with tool-calling — search 8,000+ listings, sold prices, recalls, market analysis in natural language
  • Multi-source search pipeline (CarsGuide + Drive) indexing listings, VINs, descriptions, write-off status
  • Buyer-protection signals layered on every listing — WOVI / write-off flagging, price-outlier detection, VIN-to-recall lookup across 26 AU manufacturers
  • Cross-domain platform — sister site carscout.au is its own indexed SEO funnel pointing back at the tool
  • Automated newsroom — Sentinel cron publishes editorial articles to carscout.au from real demand signals + live market data (not generic AI fluff)

Want something like this for your industry?

Car Scout took ~6 weeks from spec to live. The same search + AI + content engine plays nicely with real estate, recruitment, insurance, marketplaces — anywhere there's public listing data and buyer research friction.
