Previewing Carwash Con East with Dave DuGoff and Mike Ashley | Episode 283
Q: Why did the NRCC rebrand to Carwash Con East?
The rebrand was driven by a need to stay current with how people search for carwash information; Google and search behavior favor the term carwash, so adopting Carwash Con East makes the event more discoverable and relevant.
Breaking down AI for carwash operators: A three-level guide with Nautilus | Episode 281
Q: First question, let's jump right into it. AI has a bunch of different levels. Talk to me about what these different levels of AI are, and tell me how they apply to carwashing.
There are three levels: Level one uses consumer-grade models for general guidance and marketing ideas; Level two adds full context from the business data, such as POS systems, for more personalized, data-driven guidance; Level three features autonomous agents that can act within the workflow, such as handling memberships or sending targeted communications, with the AI taking action and reporting back.
