Show HN: Cardog – AI car companion that democratizes automotive expertise
cardog.appHey HN, I'm Sam, 22, just launched Cardog after getting frustrated with how broken car buying is.
The platform gives you AI-powered research, real-time market analysis on any listing, and tracks your car's maintenance and value over time. Think of it as having an automotive expert in your pocket.
Built this because the average person spends 18 hours researching cars online and still overpays by $2,000. Meanwhile dealers have access to wholesale prices, auction data, and market intelligence that buyers never see.
The AI can answer questions like 'what's better for a young family, CR-V or RAV4?' with comprehensive analysis, or you can paste any car listing to see if it's fairly priced.
Currently live on the app store, built the whole thing solo while at university. Happy to answer questions about the technical stack or the broader problems with automotive transparency.
