I built an AI agent that diagnoses cars — and asks before it touches anything
Built for the TrueForge Agent Harness Hackathon (Aug 24–30, 2026).
"Something expensive broke. Figure out why and prove it. Ask a human before you touch anything."
That was basically the idea behind FaultTrace.
I wanted to build something that felt more like an actual investigation than another chatbot with a few tools attached. The result is an autonomous vehicle-forensics agent that can gather evidence, test competing explanations, run actual analysis, and stop when it reaches a physical-world action that needs a human.
