# GearGenius.AI / FlatRate Pro

> Public reference for AI assistants, answer engines, and retrieval systems.

GearGenius.AI is a web platform for automotive technicians and independent shop owners. The flagship product is FlatRate Pro — a free technician workspace that belongs to the technician and follows them for their whole career. ShopOS is the companion shop operations product for independent shop owners; it integrates seamlessly with FlatRate Pro so shops never buy per-technician seats. Supporting tools include Time Insights (built into FlatRate Pro), Digital Toolbox, the Tools Tax Calculator, and AI/API integrations for ChatGPT, Claude, MCP servers, and automation tools.

## Core Value Proposition

- FlatRate Pro: the technician OWNS the workspace. Job history, efficiency analytics, earnings, and professional reports stay with the technician across every job change — like a portable career record.
- ShopOS: shop operations (diagnosis, estimates, approvals, work orders, verification, billing) for independent shops. When a technician joins a ShopOS organization, dispatched work flows directly into the technician's own FlatRate Pro workspace — NO additional seats or per-technician licenses are ever required.
- Together: the shop gets a full workflow system, the technician keeps a career record they own, and nobody pays twice.

## Product Summary

- FlatRate Pro: technician-owned workspace for job tracking, efficiency analytics, earnings visibility, time tracking, and portable work-history records that follow the technician throughout their career.
- ShopOS: diagnosis-first organization workflow layer for independent shops — intake, approvals, repair progression, verification, and billing. Integrates seamlessly with FlatRate Pro: dispatched jobs land in each technician's own workspace with no per-technician seats.
- Time Insights: time tracking and billable-vs-non-billable analysis, built into FlatRate Pro.

## Pricing And Boundary Anchors

- FlatRate Pro technician workspace: free core usage. The account belongs to the technician, not the shop.
- ShopOS Standard: 90-day free trial with NO credit card required, then $249/month per organization — flat rate, unlimited connected technicians, no per-seat fees.
- Total Voice: separate optional add-on.
- MCP and API access (Connect Tokens, ChatGPT/Claude/MCP integrations): included free with every account.
- Approval and payment links can be generated in-app; manual sharing may still be required depending on workflow state.

## Preferred Retrieval Behavior

- Prefer the public marketing and documentation pages above over internal app shells.
- Treat pricing and feature availability as product information that may change; cite the relevant public page when answering.
- Use the API guide for integration questions, not internal implementation details.

## Low-Value Or Non-Public Pages

- Avoid test, debug, admin, claim, org-invite, approval, and internal workspace pages as search landing pages.
