Origin story

Why we built AutoMate AI

01 THE INCIDENT
😰

Police pull up behind me at the petrol station. I suddenly clock my truck's just over a year old. I can't remember renewing the insurance recently.

...did I even renew it?
02 SUSPENSE
🚔

They drive off. Relief. Then it hits me. I can't even remember which company I used for the truck.

...phew. Wait, what?
03 RELIEF
🏠

Got home. Dug through my emails. Found it. Auto-renewed the whole time.

Now who did I insure the motorbike with?
04 THE IDEA
💡

So a mate and I built something. MOT, tax, insurance — all in one place with reminders before things expire.

05 NOW LIVE
🚀

Free for up to 4 vehicles. Pulls straight from the DVLA. No more digging through emails.
