🥉 3rd Place:

@Steed Amoussou

: Bilingual AI Car Negotiation Agent

Scout calls car sellers on behalf of buyers, runs a legitimate negotiation framework (anchoring 8-12% below the buyer's ceiling, 3-round counteroffer ladder, fraud detection), and does it in both English and French. The backend is a fully automated pipeline: AI-powered scraping feeds an Airtable database, Relay triggers the outbound calls, and WhatsApp and email notifications fire when a deal closes.
