An AI sales agent's seat comfort program quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a seat comfort content quote for a vehicle program, with a segment, seat counts, a seat package, comfort options, the electrical supply and the total seat current. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the content rules and returns a verdict and every reason.

Scope: Vehicle program seat comfort content: Climate Control Seat (CCS), Pneumatic Controlled Seat (PCS), Climate Control Interior (CCI), ClimateSense, Memory Seat Modules and the Intelligent Positioning System, plus seat heating. See everything this validator covers

This validator models seat comfort program content, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Seat packages and cells — seat heating, Climate Control Seats, Pneumatic Controlled Seats or both, with the pneumatic cells per seat each one allows, and the massage that needs enough of them.
  • Interior and positioning options — Climate Control Interior by vehicle segment, ClimateSense with the seat and interior content it depends on, and the Intelligent Positioning System with its Memory Seat Modules, including third-row climate control.
  • Supply, current and reviews — the 12 V rail a 48 V vehicle still needs, the total seat current against the vehicle budget, the total stated on the quote against the computed one, and the reviews that massage outside the luxury segment and climate control seats on many EV seats need.

Any seat comfort program quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Gentherm Medical, valves, battery thermal management, cables and prices. Product names follow Gentherm's public pages; the rules, current draws and limits are modeled, not published by Gentherm, and no prices are modeled.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Options that depend on other optionsOnly with care
ClimateSense needs the seat climate package and the interior option, and the positioning system needs memory modules, so each dependency is a separate rule.		All options are fields of one request, so a missing dependency is found in any order.
Pneumatic cells and massageOnly with care
The cells per seat have a limit, cells need a pneumatic package, and massage needs a minimum number of them.		The package, the cell count and the massage choice are checked together on every call.
Options that depend on the vehicle segmentOnly with care
Climate Control Interior is not offered on every segment, and massage outside the luxury segment needs a person to confirm.		The segment is one field of the request, and the approvals come back with the blocks.
Total current against the vehicle budgetOnly with workarounds
The draw depends on the package, the seat counts, the massage, the third row and the options, so any change has to be recomputed.		The total is computed from the whole request and compared with the budget on every call.
Stated current against the computed currentOnly with workarounds
A total typed into the quote goes stale when a seat or option changes.		The stated total is a field of the quote and is compared with the computed one on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The seat comfort content draws 56 A; the vehicle budget is 50 A.
221 pneumatic cells per seat is more than a PCS seat supports (20).
3Pneumatic cells are requested but the seat package has no Pneumatic Controlled Seat.
4The seat package includes a Pneumatic Controlled Seat but no cells are specified.
5Massage needs a Pneumatic Controlled Seat with at least 8 cells per seat.
6Massage is quoted for a non-luxury segment; a person should confirm the program specification.
7Climate Control Interior is not offered for this vehicle segment.
8ClimateSense needs Climate Control Seats and Climate Control Interior on the quote.
9The Intelligent Positioning System needs Memory Seat Modules.
10Climate control for the third row needs a CCS seat package.
11The seat controllers need a 12 V rail; the vehicle supply is 48 V only.
12The quote states 50 A for the seat content; the configuration draws 56 A.
13Climate control seats on 4 or more EV seats; a person should confirm the range impact.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a seat comfort content quote for a vehicle program, with a segment, seat counts, a seat package. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the content rules and returns a verdict and every reason.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote seat comfort content for a luxury vehicle program with 2 front seats, 3 rear seats and 3 third-row seats: Pneumatic Controlled Seats with 6 cells per seat. The quote states a total seat current of 92 A. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with seven findings, all in one answer. The seat comfort content draws 109 A; the vehicle budget is 100 A. Massage needs a Pneumatic Controlled Seat with at least 8 cells per seat. ClimateSense needs Climate Control Seats and Climate Control Interior on the quote. The other four are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned seven blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for total current against the vehicle budget, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the cells per seat to 10, the ClimateSense to no, the Memory Seat Modules to yes, the third-row climate control to no, the 12 V rail present to yes and the stated total current to 94 A.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All seven earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Seven problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
