We’re developing Carslink.AI, a UK-based AI-powered used car search engine. The concept is simple: a user describes the car they want (e.g., “Red BMW 3 Series under £10K”), and our system intelligently scrapes major platforms, deduplicates results, and returns the best matching vehicles — all powered by AI and automation.

We have a completed landing page, branding, pitch deck, and business plan. Now we’re looking for a freelance developer to build the actual backend engine and deploy it live on AWS.
