ChatGPT — DealerRefresh Vendor Library
About suggest a correction →
ChatGPT is an AI-powered conversational platform developed and operated by OpenAI that uses large language model (LLM) technology to generate human-like text and engage in natural dialogue. Dealerships use ChatGPT to automate customer communications, generate marketing content, handle 24/7 chat inquiries, and assist with tasks like drafting emails and explaining vehicle or financing information. It is a general-purpose AI tool—not purpose-built for automotive retail—but is widely adopted by dealership staff as a productivity and communication aid.
