Posted 20 hours ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for an experienced AI automation / full-stack developer to build a private internal auction analysis tool for my used car dealership in Alberta, Canada. This is not a public website. It will be a private business tool used only internally. The goal is to create a system that can receive auction vehicle information, analyze it, and send me only the best vehicle opportunities with recommended bid ranges. First version / MVP: * Upload or forward auction PDFs, CSV files, screenshots, or emails * Extract vehicle information automatically * Read VIN, year, make, model, trim, mileage, location, declarations, damage notes, condition report details, current bid, buy-now price, and auction end time * Detect risk flags such as TMU, mileage discrepancy, salvage/rebuilt title, prior rental, out-of-province, engine/transmission issues, structural damage, high mileage, and other red flags * Integrate Canadian Black Book API if available for VIN decoding, wholesale value, trade-in value, retail value, and vehicle specifications * Compare vehicles with Alberta retail market listings if technically possible * Score each vehicle as Green / Yellow / Red * Calculate recommended bid range, retail-exit max bid, wholesale-exit max bid, proxy bid, and hard max bid * Send alerts by email, SMS, Telegram, or another recommended method * Save results in a simple private dashboard Important: I do not want automatic bidding in the first version. The tool should only analyze, recommend, and notify. I will make the final bidding decision manually. I have my own private dealer logic and auction analysis prompt. I will not fully share it. I can provide a simplified version of the rules and the desired output format, but the full logic should remain private and secure. The system should be built in a way that protects: * auction credentials * API keys * private rules * dealer data * analysis history Credentials and API keys should not be hardcoded. Please use secure storage or environment variables. Preferred skills: * AI automation * Python or Node.js * OpenAI API or similar AI model integration * PDF/email parsing * API integrations * dashboard development * database development * data extraction * secure backend development Please reply with: 1. Your experience with similar AI automation or data extraction projects 2. What tech stack you recommend 3. How you would build the MVP 4. What parts may require API access 5. What risks you see with auction platform data access 6. Estimated MVP timeline 7. Estimated cost range 8. Examples of similar dashboards, automation tools, or AI tools you have built I would like to start with a small paid discovery / technical plan first before building the full MVP.
