Carmori

Carmori is a personal AI companion for car ownership. It brings service history, available manufacturer guidance, driving documents, renewal dates, and voice questions into one place, with camera guidance for hands-on maintenance. The problem is both practical and widespread. In 2024, CARFAX estimated that over 30 million U.S. vehicles were overdue for both oil changes and tire rotations. CARFAX In 2026, Lloyds reported that 21% of UK drivers had forgotten key vehicle-admin dates, and more than half used three or more apps or providers to manage their car. Lloyds A separate survey of 2,000 UK drivers found that 29.5% cited fear of mistakes or damage as a reason to avoid DIY maintenance. MoneySuperMarket These findings describe different populations, not a combined market size. Carmori connects management to action. Status brings service guidance and saved records together. Glove box keeps documents and renewal dates accessible. Briefings and voice questions help owners understand their car's context. Camera-guided work then becomes part of its history. Our first complete workflow is a washer-fluid refill on a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The owner mounts a phone, opens the cap, shows the bottle, pours, and closes the cap. Muse Spark supplies visual observations; Carmori checks the evidence before advancing. Unreadable labels hold the step, and incompatible products block pouring. Owners can ask questions, pause, or repeat instructions by voice. The defining moment: the owner opens the cap with their hands on the car, and the guide advances without a screen tap. The completed record distinguishes camera-observed work from owner confirmation and supports questions like “What did I just do?” Early feedback revealed unreliable cap detection and confusion about who should find it. After five unsuccessful detection attempts, we improved automatic search, camera-motion handling, and response latency. The team then completed four of four hands-free runs on the Sonata. These are small, team-reported results on one car; detection and full completion are different measures. The prototype also includes a four-wheel visual tire guide. Expansion requires verified manuals and testing for each new vehicle and task. Our longer-term vision is Carmori on Meta AI glasses, bringing guidance into view while both hands remain free. Today's working interface is the phone.
