What AI Desk is
Finished vehicle reports built from live US listings data, delivered inside your AI assistant or called from your own backend.
What AI Desk is
MarketCheck AI Desk turns the MarketCheck listings dataset into finished reports: valuations, market snapshots, pricing scans, appraisal worksheets, window stickers, total-loss and diminished-value files.
You get them one of two ways:
- Inside an AI assistant. Connect once from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client, then ask in plain English. "What is this VIN worth at 62,000 miles in 75201?"
- From your own backend. A machine credential, a JSON request, a report back. No assistant involved. See Server-side access.
Every report also renders as a hosted web page you can send to a customer, an insurer, or a colleague.
How this differs from the MarketCheck API
They are separate products with separate accounts and separate billing.
The API gives you the data. You query listings, decode VINs, pull pricing, and build whatever you want on top. You are the analyst.
AI Desk gives you the conclusion. It runs the comparable selection, the mileage adjustment, the market positioning and the write-up, and hands back a document you can act on or share. The analysis is the product.
Many customers use both, and the choice per task is usually clear: if you are building your own logic, use the API. If you want a defensible document without building the logic, use AI Desk.
One practical note if you hold both: an API key does not work on AI Desk, and AI Desk runs never appear on your API invoice.
Pricing in one line
Prepaid balance in dollars, priced per report, no subscription and no minimum commitment. Most reports are $0.49 to $4.99. Full detail on Billing.
Who it is built for
The catalog is organised around jobs rather than job titles, but the reports cluster:
Dealers valuing trades, pricing a lot, deciding what to stock, and working out what to bid at auction.
Appraisers and adjusters producing defensible files: fair market value worksheets with hand-picked comparables and cached evidence, total-loss valuations, diminished-value calculations.
Dealer groups comparing rooftops, moving inventory between stores, and placing a unit where it will sell.
Consumers checking a specific listing before they buy or negotiate.
Before you rely on a number
Read What the numbers mean first. It is short, and it governs every figure in every report.
The one-sentence version: every price MarketCheck observes is an advertised price, never a transacted one. Treating a predicted listing price as a sale price is the mistake that turns good data into a bad decision.
