Cracked my mirror, let an AI call 8 shops at once, booked a 5-star place for $200

After cracking a side mirror, the author dreaded calling around for install quotes. Using their own beta app Sooner (disclosed up front), they typed one line; the AI asked a couple of service-writer questions, then called eight local shops simultaneously.
Minutes later: a ranked shortlist. Winner was a 5-star shop two miles away — $200 to install the customer-provided part, open next morning at 10. Quotes across the 8 calls spread by $50, and the AI pushed toward the better end. The whole "cracked mirror → booked appointment" flow took less time than a single one of those calls usually does.
