the short version
Car Genius AI finds the gaps. Astra closes them.
Car Genius AI sells three things: an MCP server that lets AI agents like ChatGPT query your inventory, an AI search assistant for your website, and AI visibility audits with advisory help. Its AI visibility service page says it brings the strategy while your team or partners carry out the fixes. Plans run from $0 to $800 a month plus add-ons. Astra runs the full digital program, including the website and SEO work that AI visibility depends on.
