Introducing Bumper's Newest Feature: Smart Insights

The Challenge of Lengthy Vehicle History Reports

Vehicle history reports are known for their thoroughness, often spanning dozens of pages and delving into intricate details about a car’s past. While this level of detail can be valuable, it also poses a significant challenge for users seeking to extract critical information quickly. Not everyone has time to dedicate to thoroughly exploring each report, and we wanted to create a solution that streamlines the report analysis process without compromising accuracy. The ability to rapidly identify key insights, potential red flags, and relevant data is crucial, whether you’re a buyer looking to make an informed purchase decision or a seller aiming to maximize your vehicle’s value.

Your Shortcut to Essential Vehicle Information

At Bumper, we want to arm you with information you need to help make informed decisions throughout your automotive journey. While it’s great to have access to regularly updated vehicle history reports at your fingertips, we also know your time is precious, and that’s why we are introducing Smart Insights.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Insights analyzes complex reports and surfaces key findings in clear, digestible summaries, sparing you from the trouble of having to dig through each report manually to find valuable information. Whether you’re buying, owning, or selling, Smart Insights can provide helpful tips tailored to your needs.

Smart Insights Overview

Bumper’s Smart Insights is our answer to the challenge of lengthy vehicle history reports. This advanced feature harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to quickly analyze and distill the most crucial information from these extensive documents. By leveraging AI, Smart Insights is able to extract key data points, potential issues, and valuable insights, presenting them in a concise and easy-to-digest summary. With Smart Insights, users can quickly grasp the essence of a vehicle’s history at a glance. This powerful tool helps streamline the report analysis process, saving valuable time and effort while empowering users with the knowledge they need to make more informed decisions with confidence.

How Smart Insights Works

Smart Insights starts by analyzing the entirety of a vehicle report. It is trained to recognize and prioritize information based on a thorough set of criteria and parameters that can significantly impact a vehicle’s condition, value, and desirability. These parameters may include factors such as accident history, maintenance records, number of previous owners, mileage, and more.

By cross-referencing and evaluating these data points, Smart Insights aim to generate brief and insightful summaries tailored to your needs. For potential buyers, it might highlight positive attributes like a clean accident history* and consistent maintenance, or raise concerns about excessive mileage or gaps in service records. For sellers, Smart Insights could recommend tips to help maximize the vehicle’s perceived value such as emphasizing its history and condition, offering pricing strategies, and providing service recommendations.

Smart Insights can also provide an estimated History-Based Value, taking into account the vehicle’s unique circumstances to offer a more accurate valuation. Additionally, the feature scores these insights from best to worst and provides a simple rating to guide users.

The Value of Smart Insights

The true power of Smart Insights lies in its ability to help save users time and effort while empowering them to make informed decisions quickly. By automating the analysis of lengthy vehicle history reports, Smart Insights eliminates the need for users to manually sift through dense data, understand industry jargon, and help identify the most important information. Instead, users can instantly access concise, easy-to-understand summaries that capture the most critical information and insights.

This streamlined feature allows users to rapidly evaluate a vehicle’s history, identify potential issues or advantages, and make well-informed decisions without sacrificing accuracy or overlooking essential details.

Whether you’re a buyer seeking to purchase with confidence, a seller aiming to maximize your vehicle’s value, or an owner looking to stay informed, Smart Insights helps empower you to act swiftly and confidently, potentially saving hours or even days that would otherwise be spent meticulously analyzing reports line by line.

User Experience

To get started with Smart Insights, simply navigate to any vehicle history report on Bumper. On the left navigation bar, you will see the Smart Insights section of the report, located directly below the summary and photos inside the report.

The first thing you will encounter is the History-Based Value insight, which provides an estimate of the value taking into account the history of the vehicle, number of owners, available accident history, mileage, and maintenance records. Each report is then broken down into three sections, providing recommendations for potential buyers, sellers, and owners of the vehicle in question.

Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability

At Bumper, we understand the potential concerns surrounding the reliability of AI-generated insights. For these reasons, we’ve carefully constructed our Smart Insights feature using a series of guardrails to keep the suggestions accurate and ensure that information is referenced directly from our reports.

AI is an evolving technology with results that aren’t always guaranteed, so it is critical that we work within its limitations to provide valuable insights that keep in mind its capabilities. Part of this process means providing human oversight wherever possible to help ensure the reliability and usefulness of the results.
