Overview

Mechanic Mate is a Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) designed to aid users in diagnosing car-related issues. Through its communicative interface, it's capable of interpreting car noises users described, potentially identifying the source of these sounds and suggesting potential solutions.

It's interactive nature allows users to pose queries such as 'Why is my car making a ticking noise?' or 'There's a clunking noise under my car, can you help?'.

This GPT also assists in preparing users for service visits, which could be beneficial in understanding what to anticipate during these appointments and making the best out of them.

The intention behind Mechanic Mate is to harness the features of the monumental GPT model, ChatGPT, and provide a virtual mechanic assistant that caters to both novice car owners and experts equally, and can be accessed at any time.

It should be noted that usage of Mechanic Mate requires ChatGPT Plus and registration is necessitated for access. As an AI tool, Mechanic Mate turns the traditionally technical and potentially intimidating process of car diagnosis into an easier, user-friendly experience and prepares users for service visits.

However, while useful, it should not replace professional diagnosis and advice.
