Case study

A RAG diagnostic platform for 50,000+ mechanics — shipped to production

CTO · AHEAD Automotive · in production · 2M+ queries/month

The challenge

Mechanics need diagnostic answers while the vehicle is on the lift — and the right answer is rarely in one obvious place. Getting reliable answers to a user base of this size is not a documentation problem; it is a systems problem. That is what AHEAD Automotive set out to solve.

What I built

As CTO I built a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) platform: instead of generating answers from a model’s memory alone, the system retrieves the relevant source material first and grounds every answer in it. It shipped to production and serves 50,000+ mechanics.

The result

The platform runs in production: 50,000+ mechanics use it, processing 2M+ queries per month. Production traffic at that scale is the evidence that matters — not a demo, a system that survives contact with real users.

For the Head of IT

  • Approach: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — answers grounded in retrieved source material, not free generation.
  • Production evidence: 50,000+ mechanics as users; 2M+ queries per month.
  • Status: in production.
