Updated Prototype: Easy Diagnostic Website

A website hosting a curated list of articles with instructions on how to repair specific parts of a bike. The website would feature an AI tool where you could upload a photo or an audio recording of your bike, and it would try to identify what’s broken and direct you to articles on how to fix it. The site would also feature a videochat hotline where you could talk with a trained professional who could help with more technical issues.
