Reverse Keynote

ACT 1 · INTRO

Hello everyone, thanks for being here today. It's been 3 months since we debuted at the LA Auto Show as the official AI partner.

THE STATS

20K booth visits. 200+ SPARQ AI demos. 10K+ devices distributed. We weren't the crowd favorite — but when people are calling their mom to come and pick one up, I'll take that as a success.

THEME: REVERSE

You just left a hall filled with your favorite childhood memories. They aren't just cars — for some of us, they gave us a new way to dream. For me, it's the love of the drive. It's where I feel the most free.

THE STAKES

When we think of automotive AI, everyone thinks self-driving — which breaks my heart. The open road becomes a boring culture of just getting from point A to point B. What about horsepower running through your veins? So what if we could… Reverse… while still moving ahead?

CODRIN · THE SAFETY BASELINE

Every great automotive innovation — anti-lock brakes, airbags, GPS — was built on safety. SPARQ Diagnostics gives drivers a commercial-grade scanner, tracking 50,000+ vehicle codes, more than any consumer device ever, with the usability of your favorite app.

THE SKEPTICS

Car enthusiasts said, "It's just another OBD2 scanner." Investors said, "You'll bleed money." Even our customers said, "Too good to be true." To those points, I say: it's worth the risk.

ACT 2 · THE QUESTION

We didn't want to reinvent the wheel by slapping an AI sticker on it. We asked: "Do you trust your car?" No answer held. So we flipped it: "Does your car trust you?"

GETTING WEIRD

If your car could talk, what would it say? Do you take care of me? Do you pay attention to me? Do you account for me? Yes — this got weird really quickly.

THE CONCLUSION

Trust can't be built overnight. Like any relationship worth having, it takes time, attention, the right tools, and communication. SPARQ AI gives your car a voice — takes it off mute.

LIVE DEMO · HEALTH

*Daniel types: "What's my vehicle's health status?"* "Your vehicle is generally in great shape with a score of 91. One moderate issue: consistent air leakage in one of your tires."

LIVE DEMO · DRIVING

"I am not one to judge, but your driving behavior tends to be on the aggressive side. Expect 30–40% faster brake wear and increased suspension strain." — Hey Codrin, do you have a penny? I need to measure my tire tread.

LIVE DEMO · TIRE

*Codrin snaps a pic: "What is the status of my tire?"* "Deep grooves and even wear — good for another 20–30k miles." Man, are you still using a penny? Let me show you something better.

LIVE DEMO · DASHBOARD LIGHT

*Pic of the dash light:* "P0301 with the engine warning light indicates a cylinder #1 misfire." — Raise your hand if you like when someone answers with "depends".

LIVE DEMO · LISTENING

*Records the exhaust:* "The distinct fluttering pattern suggests a fuel injector or spark plug issue in cylinder 1 — $400–800 to fix. Would you like me to provide qualified service centers nearby?"

LIVE DEMO · SECOND OPINION

*Voice to voice: "A mechanic recommended a throttle body cleaning every 10,000 miles. Does that sound right?"* "That sounds excessive. 30,000 miles is typical unless symptoms show up. It's worth asking follow-up questions."

THE LAND

Ladies and gentlemen, that's SPARQ AI. It lets your car directly communicate with you about what it needs — all through this sexy little device.

ACT 3 · THE REVEAL

The last thing we present tonight is something everyone in this room would have loved to have much earlier in life: SPARQ Timelapse. A complete history of your car — every touchpoint, handoff, breakdown, and all the little dirty secrets in between.

THE ANALOGY

Imagine doing the same with your family tree — seeing everything that contributed to the person you are. That normally takes a lifetime to collect, and by the time we finish it, the handoff to the next generation resets. That is exactly the state of car ownership.

IN ACTION

Lift your phone: upcoming repairs with cost estimates, open recalls, insurance and registrations in one view. "When is my next service?" — a simple, loaded question. We built Timelapse to structure the past, present, and future of your vehicle.

THE GLOVEBOX

Add a service by snapping a picture of the invoice. Drop your insurance policy in the glovebox and ask it anything. It's often in the worst of times that we need that one insight.

THE ECOSYSTEM

SPARQ Diagnostics revisits the concept of safety. SPARQ AI reimagines the trust you have with your car. SPARQ Timelapse reclaims your freedom with your car's complete history.

THE CLOSE

Alright, Codrin. They're ready. Let's get ready to ride.
