Ask AI about your own data, not the internet's
Every answer comes from your calendar, your floors, and the competitor prices you captured. No generic hosting advice, no made-up numbers. Ask what to charge this weekend and get an answer specific to your listing, with the figures it used cited back to you.
Why it's different from asking ChatGPT
Ask a general chatbot “what should my Corvette rent for in Dallas?” and it will invent a plausible number. It has never seen your calendar, your market, or your costs. The Pricing Lab assistant works the other way around:
- Grounded. It answers only from the data on your device: your calendar scan, your guardrail settings and floors, and the competitor stats you captured with Compare. If something isn't in your data, it says so instead of guessing.
- Cited. Every answer names the figures it used, like your $95 Friday, your $130 weekend floor, or the $174 local median you captured, so you can check its work in two seconds.
- Yours. Two hosts asking the same question get different answers, because they have different calendars and different markets. That's the point.
Before you start: give it something to work with
The assistant is only as good as the data on your device. Two minutes of setup makes every answer sharper:
Open the popup on your Turo host Trips → Calendar page. Now the assistant knows every upcoming day: price, who set it, and what's booked. How to scan →
Enter your weekday, weekend, and holiday floors and pick your earnings plan. Now “is this day underpriced?” has a real reference point. How to set floors →
One click captures your local market: the same make and model near you, the median, and your rank. Now “vs. competitors” questions are backed by your own market data. How to run Compare →
How to use it
Click the Pricing Lab icon on any Turo page and switch to Assistant.
Chips like “Underpriced days?”, “Vs. competitors”, and “Weekend check” cover the everyday questions. Or type anything: “What should I charge for Labor Day weekend?”
You decide what accompanies the question: your calendar summary, your guardrail settings, your captured competitor stats. Nothing is sent until you ask.
The answer arrives with your numbers in it. If it suggests a price you like, use guided apply to put it on your calendar in one approved click. The assistant never changes prices itself.
The one-tap questions, explained
| Chip | What it asks | What you get back |
|---|---|---|
| Underpriced days? | Which open days sit below your floors or well under your market? | A day-by-day list, each with the price, the floor or median it's measured against, and the gap in dollars. |
| Vs. competitors | Where does your price sit against the direct competitors you captured? | Your price vs. the local median, your rank, and how much headroom (or exposure) that implies per day. |
| Weekend check | Is the coming weekend priced right? | Friday–Sunday prices vs. your weekend floor and market data, with a concrete raise/hold/trim suggestion per day. |
Example conversations
Both examples use the same example data as the rest of this site: a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette at $137/day in Dallas, a captured local median of $174 across 7 direct competitors, and a $130 weekend floor.
“Am I leaving money on the table this weekend?”
Notice what happened: it pulled Friday and Saturday from your calendar scan, your floor from the guardrail, and the median from your Compare capture, then did the arithmetic in the open.
“Where should my base price sit vs. my competitors?”
The assistant lays out the options with your numbers. You pick a strategy, then apply it to the week in one click.
What it will never do
- Never changes a price. The assistant recommends; the only way a price reaches Turo is the guided-apply flow, where you preview every change and click Apply yourself.
- Never guesses. No data, no number. It tells you what to capture instead.
- Never runs in the background. It only does anything when you open the tab and ask.
- Never sees your password. Same rule as the rest of the extension: no login capture, no cookies, no session data.
Privacy, in plain English
The assistant is the only Pricing Lab feature that sends data off your device, and only when you ask a question. Here's exactly what happens:
- What's sent: the question you typed plus a compact summary of the context you chose (pricing, calendar, competitor stats). Nothing else.
- Where it goes: to our own proxy server (hosted on Vercel), which relays it to Anthropic's Claude API for the answer, bounded by hard per-user and global monthly spend caps.
- What it's used for: answering your question. Never sold, never used for advertising.
- If you never open the assistant: none of your captured data is ever transmitted. Every other feature runs 100% on your device.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| The Assistant tab shows 🔒 | It's a Pro feature. Upgrade from the popup ($6/mo or $48/yr); the tab unlocks on the next open. |
| Answers say “I don't see…” a lot | That's honesty, not a bug. Run a calendar scan and a Compare search first (see Before you start) so it has data to cite. |
| The answer cites stale prices | It only knows your latest captures. Re-scan your calendar or re-run Compare, then ask again. |
| Nothing happens when you ask | Check your connection; the assistant is the one feature that needs one. If the monthly usage cap is reached you'll see a clear message rather than a silent failure. |
FAQ
Which AI model answers my questions?
Anthropic's Claude, reached through Pricing Lab's own proxy. The extension never talks to the AI provider directly from your data; the proxy relays only the question and the context summary you chose.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your question and context are used to generate your answer, and that's it. Nothing is sold, nothing is used for advertising, and your captured data stays in Chrome's local storage on your device.
Does it work without Compare data?
Yes, it can answer from your calendar and floors alone, for example flagging days below your own minimums. But market questions (“vs. competitors”) need at least one Compare capture, and it will tell you so rather than invent a market.
Can it change my prices automatically?
No, by design. Recommendations flow into the same guided-apply preview as everything else in Pricing Lab: you see every current → new price and nothing saves until you click Apply on the Turo page.
How much does it cost?
It's included in Pro: $6/mo or $48/yr flat per host, alongside Compare, floors with breach alerts, price-change watch, and full history export. Fair-use caps keep it available for everyone; you'll see a message if you hit one.
