Know the Car Before You Buy It

What it does

Don't buy someone else's problem. Any UK plate gives you an AI vehicle report in 30 seconds: Health Score 0-100, reliability ranking, defect and mileage analysis, stolen/finance/write-off checks, market valuation. Critical Issues Forecast predicts what fails next. Upload photos for AI damage analysis. Higgy, our AI assistant, explains anything in plain English. Built on 261M MOT records, 18.9M UK vehicles. From 20p, about a third the cost of HPI. iOS and Android. Free to try.

We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it.
