Built in AI Assistant Snapanna will be soon built into Intelligent Diagnostics software and She will do the diagnostics for you with commands for you to put which probe where and continue doing things for her to carry out things in an automated fashion. She will becoming the Mentor for all kids fresh out of tech school instead of some Crabby old shop ownersComment

watched the stream....first off, I like that snap on is doing something like this on some level, putting effort out and attempting to get more engaged with customers is always a great thing.
second. the scenario they showed with a truck with a lean running code ( P0171) was very silly.
they go into depth on showing how you can narrow down pids, graph them, ect. ect. to find the problem... and the problem was a major crack in the exhaust manifold near the flange that bolts to the cyl. head..
now.. this situation was absolutely silly, no one would ever go and do this, because they would of obviously of heard a giant exhaust leak, in fact the engine would of been so loud you probably couldn't even talk to one another if standing by the engine.
obviously they didn't care about the actual problem, ( because this was pre recorded ) and was just using it as a vice to sell the ( features ) of the new scan tool and its services. but you failed because anyone would not need any of that to diagnose that problem.
solution...actually use a real complicated problem where the features would of saved hours and hours of time and the problem wasn't obvious..
good try guys. less product selling next time, and more showing how your tools can help in complex problems that anyone with ears and generic scan tool couldn't fix.Comment

Sounds like a pretty good summary of the "diagnose" button to me. Lots of help and info for problems whose solution is already obvious to an apprentice and pretty much no help for codes and issues no one in the shop has seen or heard of before. Sounds like they nailed it.Comment

I would have asked , For someone that works mostly on cars that are older than 10 years old who picks up a used Snap On Scanners several years later that is out of subscription,that be left as it is, would a Verus Edge running 17.2 or 17.4 be a better choice for me then buying a Zuess that has expired 19.2 or 19.4 because so much in it rides on the Altus Intelligent Diagnostics cloud that gets turned off after update expires, and the non functioning windows with update Nag messages would be Intrusive and irritating?Comment

With the Edge series suretrack/guided component tests is internet based and only with a current subscription as far as I know.Something pre-Edge would probably work best for a expired subscription as the info is actually on the scanner.

I have a modis edge with 18.4, it has the suretrack which is only available with a subscription but also still has the old troubleshooting guide on the scanner itself. no wifi or subscription needed. I assume the verus platform would be the same way.Comment

From what I have read wifi access is only required for suretrack on the Pro.
If out of paid subscription time , if the SureTrak trouble shooter is no longer useable , you might as well just buy yourself a new wireless Chinaman tool for what it cost you to buy a used Snappy cabled scanner without access to SureTrak anymore when you can sit in air conditioned comfort drinking a cold one and googling things indoors while the car is getting all module scan wirelessly from your hot garage.
Making (former built in ) SureTrak troubleshooter internet based and dependent on maintaining a current update to access trouble shooter diminishes it's perceived value IMO even if what it does is less hit or miss at times than Chinaman stuff.Comment
