Part of our Admin & Front Office agents
AI agents for admin teams in auto dealers and repair shops
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the phone system logs, shared inbox, and filing your admin team already uses, from chasing every title by hand to an agent that tracks each one to the plate.
Admin teams at dealers and shops get back the hours lost to filing, title chasing, loaner logs, and rota drafting.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
- Nothing sits unread in the shared inboxParts replies, OEM notices, and customer mail are sorted to the right desk each morning with a draft reply attached.
- Voicemail transcripts reach the right deskOvernight messages your phone system transcribed are routed to sales, service, or parts before the doors open.
- Every deal jacket is complete before filingMissing signatures and documents are listed against each delivered car, so the jacket is not found short at audit.
- Titles are chased until the plate is issuedEach title and registration is tracked to its next step with the lender or DMV, and stalled ones are flagged weekly.
- The loaner log matches the cars on the roadWho has which courtesy car, with licence and insurance copies on file, is current without a clipboard.
- The rota is drafted, not rebuilt each FridayNext week's desk and showroom cover is drafted from availability and leave for the manager to confirm.
And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..
An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Auto Dealer & Repair Shop Admin & Front Office team's day.
Where the hours go
The shared inbox, the voicemail transcripts, and the walk-in sheet all pile up overnight, and the first hour of the day goes on working out which desk each message belongs to instead of getting the doors open.
An agent reads the inbox and the phone system's transcripts before opening, sorts each item to sales, service, or parts, and drafts the reply for the desk owner to approve.
Deal jackets are filed with a signature missing, and nobody finds out until a lender or the manufacturer audits the file weeks later, while titles sit with a lien holder with no one tracking who last chased.
An agent compares every delivered jacket with your checklist, lists what is missing, and tracks each title and registration to its next step, so chases are drafted before a deal goes stale.
The courtesy cars live on a paper sheet, the licence copies are somewhere in a drawer, and nobody is sure which loaner is out with whom until a customer walks in asking for the one that is not there.
An agent keeps the loaner log current from the repair orders and the return times, checks that licence and insurance copies are on file, and flags any car overdue back.
The weekly rota is rebuilt every Friday from texts and leave notes, a sick call scrambles the cover, and a dealer licence or insurance certificate quietly goes out of date in a folder nobody opens.
An agent drafts next week's rota from availability and leave for the manager to confirm, and keeps a renewal list that raises each licence and certificate well before its expiry.

You stay in control
Your front office handles customer mail, lender contacts, and legal paperwork, so an agent there only earns trust if you stay in charge. Actionist shows what it touched, holds anything sent outside the building for approval, and keeps your records yours.
An answer to a buyer, a service customer, or a supplier is drafted and queued for the right person. Nothing leaves the dealership on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.
Title chases, lien release requests, and registration notes are prepared for review. A person decides what the dealership says to a lender or a registration office.
The agent drafts the rota and the renewal list. The manager confirms who works, and the licence holder signs and submits any renewal.
You can review each document it read, filed, or drafted. Destructive actions such as deleting a file always ask first, and your documents are not used to train any model.
