#RefreshFriday Merchandizing - Someone is Launching a new Service | Joe Pistell

AutoMagic Labs is building a VDP auditing svc.


So far,
• 37% of all units listed are missing 1 or more key features.
• 99.999% of Dealers don't have the manpower to conduct a full VDP audit for 100's of used cars.



Our goal: Create an automated VDP audit that executes at a fraction of the cost of doing it manually.

Okay, just trying to understand...

A missing feature can be a costly issue for dealerships.

If a buyer wants something like heated seats or adaptive cruise control and doesn’t see it listed on the VDP, they could move on, even if the vehicle has it.

So just to clarify:

• Your tool crawls the VDP or feed,
• Cross-checks each unit’s listed features against OEM build data or VIN decodes,
• Identifies listings with missing or incorrect features,
• And then pushes corrected data back through an API or integration with the dealership’s inventory system?

Haha fair I'm still learning, that’s why I asked!

Curious though, does your system currently support write-back capabilities to inventory systems, or is it more focused on flagging issues for manual correction?

Customers spend up to 80% of their time on a vehicle’s listing page clicking on photos. Joe Pistell, Founder of AutoMagicLabs.ai, explains why dealership photos are the single most important tool for car shoppers today. "For every 1000 cars sold at a dealership, customers will click on one to...

I've been radio silent for 5 months. I'm attempting to build mission-critical software for automotive merchandising. I'm getting close to launching an industry 1st beta.

I'm in AI 4+ hrs a day. AI's advancements are absorbing all of my time. I used AI to build a library of 18 AI prompts, all are building blocks, each with a unique job.

**One block is my CPO (Chief Prompt Officer)**. (Pretty cool huh It transforms my messy founder notes into production-ready prompts. Another block is an prompt Audit machine. It tears apart every prompt for contradictions, missing logic, and broken workflows. A third building block I've named "Joes Core" enforces quality standards across everything. I HATE hedging, fluff, fillers and I HATE hallucinations.

This is called Meta Prompting.
The AI builds the prompts. The AI audits the prompts. The AI enforces the rules on itself.

I am a knucklehead. I am NOT technical, but few ppl know the automotive merchandising universe like I do. I run the prompt factory like a boss... I just brain-dump D.I.S.C. thoughts and guide the work.

Dawn to Dusk... It's prompts all the way.

Next up.
The Agents are comin'... The Agents are comin'... The Agents are comin',

I wish I could go on an AI sabbatical! Everything changing so fast, but it's so cool. It's an ADHD-er's dream. I was playing around with this UI yesterday, to have my team of agents build a company with me. Just a prototype, but Claude Code supports teams now. Some of the work being done with Clawdbot inspired this. @joe.pistell can you share any of your work?
