AutoAppraise

AutoAppraise is our own product: a live valuation platform for the New Zealand vehicle market. A driver enters their car's details and gets back a structured, AI-generated report on where it sits in the market and what to do next.

The problem

Working out what a car is actually worth in New Zealand means piecing together trade-in guides, dealer listings and gut feel, none of which agree with each other and none of which tell an owner what to actually do. There was no single place a driver could get a clear, structured answer in one step.

We wanted to prove Tensor Partners could ship a consumer-facing AI product end to end, not just automation behind the scenes: a public platform that takes a stranger's input, runs it through a model, and returns something worth paying for.

That meant the whole stack had to exist, not just the AI layer. A report engine that produces something structured and trustworthy, a payment flow that converts a free result into a paid unlock, and hosting that stays up under real public traffic.

What we built

  1. 01

    A report engine that takes a vehicle's details and generates a structured AI valuation: market position, price range and selling guidance, not a single number with no context.

  2. 02

    A free-to-paid unlock flow, so a driver gets enough value from the free report to trust the platform, with a clear payment step to unlock the full breakdown.

  3. 03

    Production hosting and infrastructure built and managed end to end in-house, the same standard we hold client systems to.

The result

A live, public AI platform generating real vehicle valuations for New Zealand drivers today, built and operated entirely in-house from report engine to payment to hosting.
