What CarEdge does for automakers.

Mystery shops

Customize our AI shopping agents to mystery shop your dealer network.

Our AI asks your dealers for an out-the-door price the way a real buyer would, across the whole network. You get every conversation, every buyer’s order, and every fee, scored on criteria informed by the FTC’s CARS Rule. When a marketing covenant takes effect, the shops confirm your dealers follow it. Already running for multiple automakers.

Every rooftop, every month, no field team
Advertised price vs. buyer’s order, fee by fee

Embedded AI

The most advanced AI harness for car shopping, on every dealer site in your network.

CarEdge AI already handles inventory, pricing, out-the-door quotes, payments, and negotiation for millions of shoppers. One script tag puts that same harness on your dealers’ websites, with their brand up front. It also gives dealers a compliant one-to-one channel for personalized pricing under advertising covenants: the ad shows the floor, the conversation quotes the real price. On its first store it held 150 shopper conversations in 20 days.

CarEdge AI chat embedded on J.C. Lewis Ford’s website: the dealer’s name in the header, 'Powered by CarEdge', and suggested prompts for inventory, out-the-door price, reliability, and monthly payment.

Agentic commerce

Be on the bleeding edge of agentic commerce.

Shoppers are starting to send AI agents to buy cars. We set up and run MCP servers for your dealer network so a buyer’s agent can find a vehicle, confirm availability, and negotiate with a dealer’s agent, with a human signing off. A full shopper conversation runs for about a dollar, and deals close in minutes instead of days: lower cost per sale for your dealers, and a network that speaks agent before the rest of the industry does. The first publicly known agent-to-agent car deal closed on CarEdge in May 2026.
