Ravin.AI offers an ai-enabled vehicle inspection platform that detects, analyzes, and records damage in vehicles via standard cameras. Ravin seamlessly captures vehicle images through a mobile phone web app or by connecting remotely to CCTV cameras on a driveway. Proprietary computer vision algorithms create a 360° model of the vehicle and help generate a condition report. This includes, but is not limited to; rentals, off-lease remarketing, vehicle logistics and transport, insurance claims, and collision repair assessments.

Ravin.AI have been founded by Eliron Ekstein, Co-Founder & CEO and Roman Sandler, Co-Founder & CTO.

This article is a part of a series of articles presenting the Israeli delegation to the ITC conference.

What problem is Ravin.AI meant to solve?

Ravin ensures trust wherever a vehicle changes hands by accurately scanning, analyzing, and reporting damages, while ensuring full transparency, reducing costs, and saving time. Ravin AI simplifies, expedites, and automates that vehicle inspection process, working alongside insurance and automotive companies.

Ravin’s primary value is in helping non-professionals (such as fleet managers, rental companies, and insurance customers) capture the condition of a vehicle and automatically create a condition report or repair estimate. This in turns helps insurers, individuals, or companies assess the damage, settle a claim quickly, save on cost, or prepare a thorough report.
