Tool-O may update the AI Centre from time to time as Platform functionality and AI capabilities evolve.

The latest published version replaces previous versions.

2.1 AI-Assisted Features

Tool-O may use AI-assisted technology to help improve the Platform in areas including:

• claims support;

• image analysis;

• fraud detection;

• customer support assistance;

• marketplace integrity;

• safety monitoring;

• search improvements;

• operational efficiency.

AI is intended to assist Platform processes and improve the User experience.

2.2 Claims Support

Where appropriate, AI may assist by reviewing information such as:

• handover photographs;

• return photographs;

• Booking information;

• claim descriptions;

• Platform communications;

• supporting documentation.

AI-assisted review helps identify relevant information but may not determine the final outcome of every claim.

2.3 Image Analysis

AI may assist in analysing photographs submitted through the Platform to:

• compare equipment condition;

• identify potential damage;

• detect missing accessories;

• highlight inconsistencies;

• support evidence review.

Image analysis forms only one part of the overall assessment process.

2.4 Fraud Detection

AI may assist Tool-O by identifying activity that may indicate:

• fraudulent behaviour;

• unusual Booking patterns;

• identity risks;

• suspicious transactions;

• misuse of the Platform.

Where appropriate, identified activity may receive additional review.

2.5 Customer Support

AI-assisted systems may help Users by:

• answering common questions;

• directing Users to relevant guidance;

• recommending Help Centre articles;

• assisting with routine support enquiries.

Where necessary, Users may also receive assistance through other available support processes.

2.6 Human Oversight

Where appropriate, Tool-O may supplement AI-assisted processes with human review, particularly where:

• evidence is incomplete;

• claims are complex;

• AI confidence is insufficient;

• Platform policies require additional assessment.

Human oversight helps support fair and balanced outcomes.

2.7 Continuous Learning

Tool-O may continually improve AI-assisted systems by considering:

• operational experience;

• User feedback;

• Platform improvements;

• legal developments;

• technological advancements;

• marketplace trends.

2.8 Privacy

AI-assisted functionality is designed to operate consistently with the Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

The use of AI does not reduce Tool-O's commitment to protecting Personal Information.

2.9 Responsible AI

Tool-O seeks to use AI responsibly by ensuring that AI supports rather than replaces fair decision-making, transparency and appropriate human oversight where required.

2.10 AI Supporting People

Artificial intelligence is intended to help Owners, Borrowers and Tool-O make better-informed decisions.

The goal of AI on the Platform is not to replace people, but to improve efficiency, consistency and the overall User experience while maintaining fairness and trust.

3.1 Transparency

Tool-O seeks to be transparent about where AI-assisted technology is used throughout the Platform.

Where appropriate, Users will be informed when AI supports particular Platform processes.

3.2 Fairness

AI-assisted systems are intended to support fair, consistent and evidence-based outcomes.

Tool-O seeks to minimise unintended bias by:

• continually reviewing AI performance;

• monitoring operational outcomes;

• improving AI models over time;

• applying human oversight where appropriate.

3.3 Human Review

Certain Platform processes may involve additional human review, particularly where:

• evidence is conflicting;

• claims are complex;

• AI confidence is below applicable thresholds;

• additional assessment is considered appropriate;

• Platform policies require further review.

Human review helps ensure that important decisions receive appropriate consideration.

3.4 User Responsibility

Users remain responsible for:

• providing accurate information;

• submitting genuine evidence;

• communicating honestly;

• complying with Platform policies;

• using the Platform responsibly.

AI-assisted systems rely upon the quality and accuracy of the information provided.

3.5 Continuous Improvement

Tool-O continually reviews AI-assisted functionality by considering:

• User feedback;

• operational experience;

• technological developments;

• legal developments;

• marketplace trends;

• improvements to AI performance.

These reviews help improve accuracy, consistency and User experience over time.

3.6 AI Limitations

AI-assisted systems are designed to support Platform operations but have limitations.

AI may not:

• understand every circumstance;

• identify every issue;

• perfectly interpret every photograph;

• replace human judgment in all situations;

• guarantee a particular outcome.

Users should not assume that AI alone determines every Platform decision.

3.7 Privacy and Security

Tool-O seeks to ensure that AI-assisted functionality operates consistently with:

• the Privacy Policy;

• the Security Policy;

• applicable privacy legislation;

• responsible information handling practices.

Protecting User information remains a fundamental priority.
