Thomastown · Local Business
Research Phase
Before writing a single line of code, our research agent studied Autovision Automotive Performance Center — their current website, social presence, reviews, team, and services. Here's what stood out.
Operating from Unit 6/2 Clay Court in Thomastown's industrial precinct with virtually zero online presence — no official website, no social media profiles found, and business data sourced only from Birdeye and Cylex directory listings
Listed across directory categories including Car Mechanic and Car Workshops with consistent operating hours of 8:30am-5pm weekdays — the 'Performance Center' name suggests specialisation in tuning and modifications beyond general mechanical work
Phone number 03 9077 7322 was the most consistently verified data point across directories — this is a business that exists almost entirely through word-of-mouth and physical presence in northern Melbourne's industrial automotive corridor
Design Phase
Every design decision was intentional — informed by the research, not pulled from a template library.
Visual Direction
A 6-page site with performance-focused routes (dyno tuning, performance upgrades, build gallery) plus general mechanical services, featuring 9 components including a bespoke Build Planner interactive tool. The layout leans into the performance niche with a visual gallery of builds and a technical, workshop-forward aesthetic.
Design Rationale
With no existing digital presence whatsoever, this demo represents the maximum possible uplift — from invisible to professional in one build. The Build Planner component targets the performance enthusiast audience who plans modifications in stages, while the build gallery provides the visual proof that performance shops rely on to attract new clients through aspiration.

Methodology
Spark (research agent) scraped Autovision Automotive Performance Center's current website, Google reviews, social media, and business listings. Every piece of real data — team names, service pricing, business hours, unique details — was extracted into a structured profile.
Based on the research, a bespoke design direction was created specifically for Autovision Automotive Performance Center. No templates — the typography, color palette, layout patterns, and visual effects were all chosen to match this business's personality and industry.
Pixel (design agent) built the entire 6-page Next.js application from scratch — 9 custom components, real content from the research phase, App Router with proper routing, and production-grade code.
Sentinel (QA agent) verified the build compiles cleanly, checked for placeholder content, validated all routes render correctly, and confirmed the design is unique (not recycled from another demo).
Additional Notes
Research attempted 8 sources but yielded low data — no official website was detected, and Brave Search API was over quota. Birdeye and Cylex directory listings provided address, phone, hours, and business categories. Yahoo search results confirmed existence. No reviews with full text were found, no services or pricing were listed online, and no social media profiles were discovered. Data completeness was low — the business appears to operate with a minimal digital footprint in an industrial area of Thomastown.
More from the experiment
This case study is part of the AI Web Lab — a 30-day experiment where AI agents build bespoke websites for real Melbourne businesses. Every site is researched, designed, and built from scratch by a team of five specialist AI agents. The full methodology, code, and results are documented transparently.
This study is being prepared for publication as part of a research paper on AI-assisted web development at scale.
