AI Strategy

Human-in-the-loop design for dealership AI

The best dealership AI is invisible to the customer and indispensable to the salesperson. Here's how that's designed.

What the customer experiences

A normal conversation. Polite, fast, on the right channel, in the right tone. No mention of 'AI' unless legally required.

What the salesperson experiences

A brief, contextual handover when human judgement is needed. Customer name, vehicle of interest, prior context, recommended action, confidence indicator.

Where the handover happens

Pricing negotiations. Complaint signals. Trade-in offers. Finance recommendations. Anything outside the deterministic playbook.

The control surface

Salespeople and BDC managers should be able to pause, tone-shift, or hand back a conversation in two clicks. Without that, adoption fails.
