The company uses Gemini 1.5 on Vertex AI to extract text from digitized service history papers, classify document types, extract service events, and flag cases that need follow-up with sellers. Motorway also uses Vertex AI models and endpoints in its Real-Time Price Machine to generate instant valuations for used cars and improve pricing accuracy and trust between sellers and dealers.
