The parking problem, quantified.

Vancouver drivers lose 17 minutes and $1,200 a year to parking. We built SpotAI to fix that.

Real-time parking occupancy

Downtown Vancouver hits 85-90% occupancy between 12-6pm. Finding a spot during peak hours is a gamble.

Why SpotAI

Everything Google Maps skips.

Three things SpotAI does that your maps app doesn't.

AI-Powered Rankings

Tell us where you're going and when. Gemini reads your constraints — budget, EV, time limit — and picks one spot. With a reason.

Real-Time Data

Every search queries live city data. No cached results, no stale meters, no surprises when you arrive.

Multi-Source Coverage

Google Maps shows you Impark. We also show you the free street spot two blocks east, the EV charger around the corner, and how long each takes to walk to.

How It Works

Four steps. Zero stress.

Search to parked in under a minute.

Step 1

Type where you're going
