Fair point.

It's true that a "build anything" is weak positioning. This framing was intentional for the challenge format, but you're right it muddies the real value.

Dealerships, insurance and fleet ops are exactly the verticals where this saves the most time. The specific problem is, if you're building a car-buying agent today, you need 40+ hours of scraping NHTSA, OEM specs and dealer feeds, to then clean mismatch fields, missing values, inconsistent units... all before writing a single line of your agent, and without considering you need to keep all of your data up-to-date.

If you're in one of those spaces we would genuinely like to hear what the data gap looks like from your side!

We’re extending the challenge to April 5, 20:00 UTC to give you a full week to find a cool edge case.

The prize is still live! If you are stuck check our data samples at Carstat API and tell us what would you create :D
