About

Built Different

Where automotive expertise meets AI innovation.

I'm Atlas J. Smith — Founder & CEO of SPECD.AI, one of the top AI car valuation platforms on the market. I've helped users save over $3,000,000 in car purchases and built a certified app on the Fortellis platform.

Before SPECD.AI, I cut my teeth in private car sales — moving $1M+ in vehicles including a $250K sale, and selling directly to a well-known automotive group owner. That hands-on experience in appraisal, negotiation, and deal-making is what powers everything I build.

I'm also a FAA-certified Private Pilot and Advanced Scuba Diver — I don't just talk about pushing limits, I live it. Currently finishing my B.B.A. in Sales Management at Liberty University.
