Question 1

How does the system know a broadcast is unanswered?

Accepted Answer

After the speaker mutes, the system waits 5 seconds for another member to unmute. No response in that window means unanswered.

Question 2

Can answered broadcasts also be listed on the marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Right now, only unanswered broadcasts get auto-listed. Answered ones are assumed resolved on the hotline.

Question 3

How accurate is the AI part extraction?

Accepted Answer

The system uses Whisper for transcription and a specialized AI model for part extraction. It picks up year, make, model, and common part names reliably. Heavy accents or unusual parts might need a manual look.

Question 4

Can I respond to a marketplace listing if I'm not on the network?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anyone can view the listing and submit a response with their name and phone number. The broadcaster gets an email with the details.

Question 5

Do marketplace listings expire?

Accepted Answer

Listings stay visible but get marked as stale after a while. Fresh ones (under 2 hours) show a "fresh" tag.

No request goes to waste
