The results of your analysis

Where your data goes

Your agent turns raw valuation data into clear market insights.

TRENDS

Identify value shifts

The AI uses get_market_trends to show how a specific model's price has moved over time. You see exactly when a vehicle starts losing or gaining value.

PRICING

Spot market anomalies

Your agent compares current market averages against specific vehicle conditions. It flags when a model is priced significantly above or below the trend.

FORECAST

Predict future value

By analyzing historical patterns, your AI suggests likely price directions for upcoming seasons. This helps you decide when to buy or sell.

HUMAN

Final decision making

The AI provides the data and the math, but you decide if the trend matches your specific buying or selling strategy. You retain full control over the final transaction.
