AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use language models to draft post copy and natural replies, and image generation to create local landmark visuals. Keep vehicle pricing and availability in structured fields from the inventory feed. A human marketing manager approves all posts and replies before publishing; billing and maintenance actions require explicit confirmation.

What your team sees

Key screens: Inventory feed, content calendar, lead inbox, subscription dashboard. Use a central calendar showing scheduled posts with preview thumbnails, a left-hand inventory panel for vehicle selection, and a right-hand conversation view for lead replies. Show subscription vehicles with billing and service status. Display post performance metrics and lead conversion flags. In this product, the first view is inventory feed, followed by content calendar, lead inbox and subscription dashboard.

Accounts and administration

Dealership owner and marketing manager roles, post approval workflow, reply templates with version history, subscription contract records, audit trail for all customer-facing actions and billing changes.

Integrations and data access

Facebook and Instagram APIs, dealership inventory management systems, calendar booking tools, payment gateways for subscriptions, and service scheduling software.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will digital marketing and sales leads at independent car dealerships use it to solve "dealership social media rarely brings in ready buyers and subscription fleets need constant manual attention"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Run a paid pilot with one dealership for 30 days, measuring baseline weekly social engagement and test-drive bookings versus pilot results.
4. Measure, then decide. Track two measurable outcomes: 30% increase in test-drive bookings from social leads and and 20% reduction in staff time spent on social media and subscription administration. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. One dealership with Facebook and Instagram, one use case of daily car spotlight posts with auto-replies, first two modules of content generation and lead response, manual review of all posts and replies before publishing.

After the MVP. Automate subscription onboarding, billing cycles and maintenance scheduling after the paid pilot, then add multi-location support and advanced lead scoring.

What the build depends on. Reliable access to dealership inventory feeds, social platform API permissions, and a service scheduling system with open APIs.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

A rough indication of monthly hosting and AI model costs once it is live, not tested. Real costs depend on usage, file sizes and the models chosen.

Your brand, or this one

Run it under your own brand, or start from this concept style.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test pricing at USD 1,200 per month per dealership, tiered by number of social accounts and active subscription vehicles.

Message to test

Turn your dealership's social media into a 24/7 sales assistant and your subscription fleet into hands-off recurring revenue.

Where to find buyers

Dealer associations, automotive industry conferences, targeted LinkedIn ads to dealership owners, and partnerships with dealership software vendors.

Lead magnet

A free social media audit showing how many leads are missed and a sample week of AI-generated posts for their inventory.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: Build inventory feed integration and content calendar.
2. Week 2: Develop AI post generation with local landmark images.
3. Week 3: Implement lead auto-replies and test-drive booking links.
4. Week 4: Pilot with one dealership, review posts and replies manually, and refine response accuracy.

Paid pilot

Run a paid pilot with one dealership for 30 days, measuring baseline weekly social engagement and test-drive bookings versus pilot results. Decision to proceed if test-drive bookings increase by 30% and the dealer approves the subscription module expansion.

Success metrics

Two measurable outcomes: 30% increase in test-drive bookings from social leads, and 20% reduction in staff time spent on social media and subscription administration.

Retention and expansion

Continues earning through monthly subscription fees, with increasing value as the system learns the dealership's style and local context, making switching costs high.

Why clients would pick it

Accumulates dealership-specific content style, local landmark data and lead response patterns, making the system more accurate and harder to replicate for each new dealer.

Alternatives and positioning

Dealerships use manual social media posting, generic scheduling tools or outsourced marketing agencies; this differs by automating content creation, lead response and subscription management in one integrated system.

Main delivery costs

AI inference for image generation and language models, integration development for inventory feeds and social APIs, and ongoing support and training.

Role-based permissions for posting and billing, mandatory human approval for all customer-facing content, limits on reply scope to inventory and pricing only, and safety checks to prevent incorrect pricing or availability claims. It must not make financial commitments or schedule maintenance without dealer confirmation.
