DrivePK Bolo: Voice Search for Your Dream Car in Pakistan

Car hunting in Pakistan used to mean the same tired routine. You open five different apps, scroll through hundreds of listings, type the same search twice because autocorrect changed your spelling, and still end up calling a dealer who doesn't have the car you actually want. If you have ever sat in traffic thinking "I wish I could just ask someone to find me the right car," that wish is now closer to real life.

DrivePK, Pakistan's 1st AI power marketplace, has rolled out a new voice search feature called Bolo App. Instead of typing filters one by one, you speak. The app listens, understands, and pulls up matching cars in seconds. This piece walks through what the app does, how the interface works, and how to actually use the voice feature step by step.

Why this matters right now

Pakistan's auto market has changed a lot in the last two years. New brands keep entering, EVs and hybrids are showing up faster than most buyers can track, and prices shift with every currency move. Keeping up with all of it on your own is tiring. An app that lets you just say what you want, instead of scrolling for twenty minutes, solves a real problem.

DrivePK already built its name on verified listings, free ad posting for sellers, and a smart price checker that uses AI to help you figure out if a car is priced fairly. The app has thousands of listings across Pakistan, filters for city, make, model, and price, and price alerts so you get notified the moment a car matching your search goes live. Bolo builds on top of that. It does not replace the filters. It gives you a faster way to reach them.

A layout simple enough for anyone to use

One thing that stands out about the app is how little thinking it asks of you. Open it, and the interface is clean enough that even a kid could figure it out without help.

At the very top, you get two tabs: Car and Bike. Pick one, and everything below adjusts to match.

Right under that, you get a section that shows vehicles matching your lifestyle. This is not random. The app looks at what you have searched before and what fits your budget range, then shows you a short list instead of dumping every car in the country on your screen.

Below that comes a features section, where you narrow things down by what actually matters to you. Sunroof, leather seats, automatic transmission, fuel type, whatever you care about, you tap it and the list updates.

Further down, the app shows trending and recently launched vehicles. This is useful if you are the type who wants to know what just hit the market before everyone else does. New EVs, new SUVs, new bikes, they all show up here as soon as they launch.

At the bottom, there is a simple navigation bar. Your profile sits there, along with chat and search. Chat lets you message sellers directly once you find something you like, without leaving the app or hunting for a phone number.

The plus button is where things get interesting

In the middle of that bottom bar sits a plus button. Tap it, and it opens your voice command tool, the Bolo feature.

This is where the app tries to act less like a search bar and more like a person helping you shop. You do not need to know exact filter names or scroll through dropdown menus. You just talk.

Say something like, "Hi, can you find me a white Corolla, 2022 model." The app processes what you said, breaks it into search terms, color, make, model, year, and pulls up a list of matching white Corollas from the 2022 lineup right in front of you. No typing, no menus, no guessing which filter combination will get you the right result.

And that is really the whole idea behind it. You describe the car the way you would describe it to a friend, and the app does the sorting for you.

Step by step: how to use the voice search

Here is how it actually works, from opening the app to seeing your results.

Step 1: Open the app and pick Car or Bike.

Tap whichever tab matches what you are shopping for. This sets the context for everything that follows.

Step 2: Tap the plus button at the bottom.

This opens the voice command tool. You will see a mic icon and a prompt to speak.

Step 3: Say what you want, in plain words.

You do not need formal language. "Find me a white Corolla 2022 model" works just as well as a longer sentence. You can add more details too, like budget, city, or transmission type, and the app will factor those in.

Step 4: Wait a few seconds while it processes.

The app converts your speech into search filters behind the scenes. This takes a moment, not long.

Step 5: Review the results.

A list of matching vehicles appears, the same way it would if you had typed and filtered manually. You can tap into any listing for full details, photos, and seller contact.

Step 6: Refine if needed.

If the results are close but not exact, you can either speak again with more detail or switch to manual filters to fine-tune things like price range or mileage.

Step 7: Message the seller.

Once you find a listing you like, use the chat tab to reach out directly. No need to leave the app or dig up a phone number separately.

That is the entire flow. Six or seven steps, most of them just a tap or a sentence.

Who actually benefits from this

Voice search is not just a gimmick for people who like talking to their phones. It genuinely helps a few groups more than others.

Older buyers who are less comfortable typing long search queries or navigating filter menus will find this far easier. Parents shopping for a family car while managing a toddler in the back seat can search hands-free. And people who are simply in a hurry, standing in a dealership, walking somewhere, or driving as a passenger, can search without stopping to type.

It also helps with typos. If you are searching for a car model with a tricky spelling, speaking it out loud often gets better results than trying to type it correctly on a small keyboard.

A fair word on limitations

Voice recognition tools are not perfect everywhere. Background noise, strong accents, or mixing Urdu and English mid-sentence can sometimes trip up any voice system, not just this one. If a search does not return what you expected, switching to manual filters is always there as a backup. The app is built so you are never stuck with just one way to search.

The bottom line

DrivePK's Bolo App feature is a straightforward attempt to make car shopping less of a chore. You still get the same verified listings, price checker, and seller chat that made the app useful in the first place. What changes is how fast you get there. Instead of tapping through filters, you say what you want, and the results come to you.

For a market where buyers are already juggling rising prices, new EV options, and constant new launches, cutting down the time spent searching is not a small thing. It is one less headache in a process that already has plenty of them. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
