His agent got quotes from 10 repair shops and tried to negotiate the price

ESPM professor Wilson Silva had his AI agent research ten auto repair shops, send them photos and videos of his car, request quotes and rank the options while he worked. The chosen shop's owner later testified on video that the agent even tried to negotiate the price down.

How it works

  1. Research ten repair shops
  2. Contact each shop
  3. Send photos and videos of the car
  4. Request quotes
  5. Organize and rank the alternatives
  6. Present three options
  7. Agent attempts price negotiation

Why it’s worth knowing

The repair shop owner, not the customer, reported that the agent tried to haggle; the negotiation happened on the business side while Silva worked.
