Been working with dealerships on their lead handling for a while, and the same problem kept coming up: after-hours enquiries and missed calls just… die. No follow-up, no booking, gone.

So we built Deal-IQ — an AI agent that:
•Handles inbound WhatsApp, email, and missed calls 24/7
•For sellers: collects vehicle details, verifies them, creates the listing in your CRM
•For buyers: answers questions, books viewings/test drives, schedules servicing
•Your team only gets pulled in when it’s time to actually close

We’re live with a few dealerships already and wanted to get this in front of people who actually run these businesses — not just marketers.

Genuinely curious: is missed-call/after-hours follow-up actually a pain point for you, or is this solving a problem that doesn’t exist day-to-day? Happy to answer questions or show a quick demo if useful.
 

✨ AI Highlights

The founder of Deal-IQ introduces an AI agent built to handle after-hours inbound leads via WhatsApp, email, and missed calls for car dealerships, automating listing creation, test drive booking, and service scheduling until a human is needed to close. The post is framed as a genuine question to dealers about whether missed-call and after-hours lead loss is a real operational pain point worth solving. The thread is essentially a product introduction seeking validation from practitioners rather than a deep community debate.
