So what originally started as a proof-of-concept from this thread kind of spiraled into a full blown commercial offering. I’ve been using different AI tools over the past 18 months or so to build out a vision for what a modern dealer platform *should* be. And so many of the things we’ve talked about here with other thought leaders is now a reality. I wouldn’t have the energy to make it all possible without AI. But I think the end result is pretty cool.

Here's the marketing site I'm working on:

Dealer Commerce — Turn Online Shoppers Into Showroom-Ready Customers

I have the platform feature complete now, and I'm going to spend the next month or so on polish and talking to dealers about it. More exciting things to come!
 
This looks great — really like the direction you're taking with the customer journey.

On my end, I work with live automotive market data — around 5 million dealer listings updated every single day, plus solid VIN decoders and spec/pricing data.

You can actually see my live inventory in action here: https://vehisales.com

If real-time market data would be useful for your project (pricing context, competitor inventory, VIN decoding, etc.), happy to help — just let me know.
 

✨ AI Highlights

DealerRefresh community member Chris Cachor announces Dealer Commerce, a new dealer website platform he built using AI tools over 18 months, evolving from a proof-of-concept discussed in a prior thread. The project aims to modernize the dealer website experience by turning online shoppers into showroom-ready customers, and Cachor states the platform is now feature complete and moving toward commercial launch. The thread marks an early-stage vendor announcement with roots in community-driven frustration over existing website providers.
