The $1.2T automotive industry is a pillar of American culture, driving people’s daily lives and 5% of the national GDP. However, it is also one of the most antiquated industries. 90% of car purchases still happen through traditional dealers that are stuck with 20th-century tech and consumer experiences that no one enjoys.
Dealers are struggling now more than ever—net margins have shrunk to 1-2%, driven by heavy competition, lower consumer spending, and rising operational costs. However, dealers can’t evolve their workforce and scale engagement with bad tech and data. It is no wonder that 2 out of 3 consumers do not return to their dealers after purchasing a car. Dealers that don’t modernize their consumer experience soon aren’t just behind—they’re facing an existential crisis.
There is a massive opportunity right now to change how dealers operate and interact with consumers across the entire customer lifecycle. There is no way that dealers in 10 years can compete with software built in the 80s. That is our mission—to evolve the consumer experience of buying and servicing cars to the 21st century.
Mia is the fastest and most humanlike customer service agent for dealerships. We started by rescuing inbound phone calls: Mia speaks like a human, answers the phone 24/7/365, and automates appointments so stores never miss a phone lead again. Mia is now rapidly expanding her communication abilities with additions like texting and outbound campaigns.
In the midterm, Mia will automate inbound & outbound consumer traffic across all digital channels as the modern communications engine for dealers. In the long term, Mia will be the general operating system driving broader dealer workflows—marking a shift from automating communications to automating the dealership itself.
Dealers will evolve to a fundamentally new operating model with consolidated, high-impact software that uplifts the workforce and drives unprecedented efficiencies. Consumers will receive an enjoyable car-buying and servicing experience that matches modern expectations and inspires dealer loyalty.
