Saabiste AI: The Intelligent Assistant for Saab Maintenance

Since the integration of the AI chatbox into the application, the primary objective was to determine if accessing WIS and EPC information directly from a preferred messaging interface was feasible. This project has evolved significantly: Saabiste AI is now equipped with approximately 30 tools to perform various tasks, ranging from information retrieval to file management.

Why Saabiste AI?

This agent was developed to provide a modern virtual assistant to streamline repetitive tasks, such as searching through the EPC or the WIS manual. Its primary mission is to rapidly identify target sections by navigating through manual groups and sub-sections, providing quick answers on how and where to perform specific tasks.

Capabilities of the AI Agent

Saabiste AI supports every stage of Saab maintenance:

• 🔍 EPC (Parts Catalog) Queries: The agent decodes 8-digit part numbers or searches by keyword. It navigates assembly groups, filters by engine or model year, and uses an internal expertise registry to bridge vague queries (e.g., "key housing under the handbrake") to exact references (e.g., Ignition Switch Module).

• 🔧 WIS (Workshop Manual) Consultation: Whether searching for starter replacement procedures or decoding specific DTC fault codes (e.g., P0101), the agent extracts step-by-step instructions, assembly diagrams, and torque settings. Users can also save favorite procedures.

• 🚘 Virtual Garage Management: Input a 17-character VIN to instantly decode the year, model, and engine. The AI can also update mileage or modify the profile photo.

• 📝 Maintenance Logs & Attachments: Users can dictate operations (e.g., "Add oil change at 185,000 km on 06/12/2026"). The agent manages history, reads uploaded documents like invoices or inspection reports, and links attachments to specific maintenance entries.

• 🎯 Wishlists: Organize parts for upcoming projects by adding multiple references to a shopping list, linking parts to specific vehicles, or adding annotations.

• ⚙️ Diagnostic Report Analysis: The agent interprets ECU scan results, summarizes detected error codes, and associates them with the vehicle to maintain a clear record of electronic health.

How to Use It

• Directly on the website: Via the AI chatbox located at the bottom right of the screen.

• On Telegram: The agent is fully operational (@SaabisteBot).

• On WhatsApp: Pending final validation from Meta. Once approved, users can link their accounts for direct use.

Under the Hood

This remains an experimental project. Saabiste AI utilizes two major Large Language Models (LLM) connected directly to databases and extraction tools. While the system provides rapid and reliable cross-referenced data, users should verify outputs, as AI models may occasionally produce inaccuracies.

Advanced users with high request volumes or those wishing to bypass quota limits can input their own API keys (OpenAI or Google Gemini) via the "API & AI" tab in the Profile page.
