Tech Director AI Advisor

The Tech Director is an AI-powered advisor that has access to your real data -- service history, tire status, brake pads, parts inventory, alignment, suspension, track days, and session performance. It gives specific, actionable advice instead of generic answers.


Where to find the Tech Director

You can access the Tech Director in two ways:

  • Dedicated page -- Navigate to the Tech Director tab in the sidebar for a full-screen chat experience with conversation history.
  • Slide-over panel -- Tap the Tech Director button on any page to open a chat panel without leaving your current view. The panel automatically knows which car or page you are on.

Conversations

The Tech Director keeps a history of your conversations. On the dedicated page, a sidebar shows all past conversations sorted by recency. Tap any conversation to resume it, or tap the + button to start a new one.

On mobile, tap the chat icon in the top-left to open your conversation list as a slide-over sheet.

Context awareness

When you open the Tech Director from a specific car's detail page, it automatically focuses on that car. From the dedicated page, it can see your entire fleet.


What the Tech Director can do

Answer questions about your cars

The Tech Director looks up your actual data before answering. Ask things like:

  • "What maintenance is coming up?"
  • "When did I last change the oil?"
  • "What tires are on the car right now?"
  • "What's my current alignment setup?"
  • "Which car needs service soonest?"

Provide expert advice

Ask for recommendations on maintenance schedules, track day preparation, tire selection, brake upgrades, suspension tuning, and more. The Tech Director combines your car's data with motorsport expertise to give tailored advice.

Fleet-wide insights

The Tech Director can look across all your cars at once:

  • Compare tire wear or parts status across your fleet
  • Identify which car needs attention first
  • Summarize track day history across multiple cars
  • Find trends in your session performance

Create maintenance rules

Ask the Tech Director to set up recurring maintenance schedules. For example:

  • "Set up an oil change every 5,000 miles"
  • "Add a brake fluid flush every 12 months"

The Tech Director proposes the rule and asks you to confirm before creating it. A confirmation card appears in the chat -- review the details and tap Confirm or Decline.

Process receipts

Upload a service receipt by tapping the paperclip icon in the chat input. The Tech Director reads the extracted data (vendor, date, cost, line items) and can convert it into a service record for your car. You confirm before anything is saved.

Search documentation

The Tech Director can search TrackOut's documentation to answer questions about app features and how things work.


Suggested prompts

When you start a new conversation, you will see suggested prompts tailored to your current context:

Tool activity indicator

While the Tech Director is working, a status indicator shows which tools it is using -- for example, "Looking up car details" or "Checking service history." This lets you know the AI is pulling real data, not guessing.


Confirmation for write actions

The Tech Director never modifies your data without asking first. When it wants to create a maintenance rule or convert a receipt to a service record, a confirmation card appears in the chat with the proposed details. You must tap Confirm to proceed or Decline to cancel.

Your data is safe

The Tech Director can only read your data automatically. Any action that creates or modifies data requires your explicit approval via the confirmation card.
