Description
Every car buying tool starts with "what's your budget?" - backwards, since you don't know what you need until someone asks the right questions. CarAI is an 11-question quiz about your life (commute, family trips, weekends) and priorities, then recommends specific cars with a short AI-written reason why, full running-cost breakdown, 3-year cost of ownership (buy vs lease), road tax band, and live listing links. Live for UK and Estonia. Free to try, no card needed.
