The big idea
A $1500 laptop or $8000 used car is a real choice. AI can compare specs, total cost of ownership, resale value, and reliability across options.
Some examples
- Ask AI to compare 3 laptops for your specific use
- Ask AI for the true cost of a used car (insurance, repairs)
- Ask AI for a phone that lasts 4+ years
- Ask AI when buying refurbished is fine
Try it!
Pick something you might buy in the next year. Ask AI for total cost over 4 years (purchase + maintenance + lost resale). Compare to a cheaper option.
