Follow up with every lead. Around the clock.
An AI agent that responds to every web form, every chat, every Marketplace inquiry — qualifies trade-in, financing, and timeline — and books the test drive while your BDC is on lunch.
Custom AI agent · Illustrative workflow
PreviewSample flow. No client data or outcome metrics.
Actual routing rules and success measures are set during scoping.
Speed-to-lead is everything. Your BDC is losing every minute.
When internet leads sit unanswered, buyers keep shopping. These are the follow-up gaps an approved workflow is built to cover.
The Unanswered Internet Lead
A vehicle inquiry arrives after the showroom closes. If it waits until the next shift, the buyer may continue the conversation with another dealership.
The Tire-Kicker Drain
Your BDC spends time on inquiries with different budgets, timelines, financing needs, and trade details. The agent asks your approved questions before routing the lead to a sales rep.
The Sunday Lot-Walker
Buyer walks the lot Sunday afternoon. Showroom's closed. They text the number on the window sticker — and it goes to a phone tree until Monday. By then they're test-driving somewhere else. See what missed calls cost a dealership.

Auto dealer AI agent FAQ
What does the auto dealer AI agent do?
It responds to sales and service inquiries in seconds, answers vehicle and availability questions, and books test drives or service appointments 24/7 — so internet leads don't sit unanswered.
Can it follow up on internet leads?
Yes. It replies instantly, qualifies the buyer, and nurtures cold leads with automated follow-ups so they don't buy from the dealer who answered first.
How fast is it live and do we own it?
The timeline depends on integrations, data access, approval, and workflow risk. We confirm the build plan before work starts. Delivery terms, credentials, language support, and maintenance are defined in the scope.
