what we build

AI Systems Built for Dealership Operations

Connected to your CRM, inventory system, and scheduling tools. Every inquiry gets an immediate, personalized response — and every lead gets followed up with until they buy or say no.

Instant AI Lead Response

Every inquiry from your website, AutoTrader, Cars.com, or manufacturer lead programs gets a personalized response within seconds — day or night. Acknowledges the specific vehicle they're interested in, asks a qualifying question, and moves toward a test drive or call.

📅

Test Drive & Appointment Booking

AI books test drives and sales appointments directly into your team's calendar via SMS or web link. Automated confirmations and reminders reduce no-shows. Leads who don't book receive a follow-up sequence that keeps the conversation alive.

🔁

Long-Cycle Sales Follow-Up

Car shoppers take weeks or months to decide. An automated SMS and email sequence follows up with every lead that hasn't converted — weekly, then monthly — until they buy, or tell you they're not interested. No lead goes cold by default.

🔧

Service Appointment Automation

Automated service reminders based on mileage milestones and time since last service. Recall outreach. Service booking via SMS. Post-service follow-up and review requests. Your service department runs on a full calendar without staff making manual calls.

📞

After-Hours Phone Coverage

An AI phone system handles inbound calls when the sales floor is closed — captures buyer information, answers inventory questions, and books test drives for the next morning. No inquiry goes to voicemail without a response.

⚙️

CRM & DMS Automation

Lead records updated automatically. Inventory inquiries matched to available stock. Follow-up tasks triggered based on buyer stage. Sales and service pipeline reports generated without anyone compiling data from multiple systems.
