Part of our Founders & Executives agents
AI agents for founders and executives in automotive
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps automotive founders and executives already use, from stitching Monday's numbers together to a scorecard and decision memos waiting before the meeting.
Dealer principals and shop owners get back the hours lost to scorecards, factory paperwork, and stock reviews.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
A principal's week is split between the showroom, the workshop, the factory, and the lender, and each wants a different set of numbers. Most of those numbers sit in the DMS, the books, and a stack of spreadsheets that someone has to reconcile.
Actionist agents read those sources on a schedule and draft the brief, the memo, or the pack. They prepare; you decide on pricing, spend, staffing, and anything that goes to the factory or a lender.
- A scorecard before the sales meetingUnits, gross, and service hours from the DMS export, set against target before the managers sit down.
- Factory targets you can see at midweekStair-step tiers, incentive changes, and CSI movement summarised while there is still time to act.
- Aged stock laid out for a decisionEvery unit past 60 and 90 days with its carrying cost beside current market prices.
- Capex requests with the numbers attachedLift, scanner, and calibration requests arrive with quotes and payback, ready to approve or decline.
- Renewals and audits that never sneak upLicence, bond, insurance, and Safeguards file dates flagged weeks ahead, with the documents listed.
- Hours for the lot, the bay, and the peopleSpend your time on the calls only a principal can make, not on assembling the figures behind them.
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 Automotive Founders & Executives team's day.
Where the hours go
Monday's sales meeting starts on stale numbers because the scorecard is rebuilt from the DMS export and four sheets on Sunday night, and by Wednesday nobody trusts it.
An agent reads the export and the books before the meeting, drafts the one-page scorecard against target, and marks the variances, so the principal edits rather than builds.
Factory bulletins change a cash offer or a bonus rule and the stock on the lot is priced on last month's terms, because nobody had time to read the portal and work out which units were touched.
An agent reads each bulletin, lists the units it affects, and tracks the stair-step count week by week, so the principal knows by Wednesday whether the bonus is within reach.
Aged cars sit past 90 days with interest running while the reprice or wholesale decision waits for someone to pull comps and carrying cost into one place.
An agent builds the aged stock list with carrying cost and market comps each Friday, and the principal makes the call in minutes instead of building the case.
Licence, bond, and Safeguards file dates live in a spreadsheet nobody opens until an auditor, a lender, or the factory asks for the paper.
An agent tracks every renewal and spot-checks the deal and program files on a schedule, listing the gaps by owner so they are fixed before anyone asks.

You stay in control
An agent reading your DMS export, your books, and your lender paperwork only earns its place if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you see what it touched, approve anything that leaves the building, and own every record.
Replies to the OEM, floorplan lenders, landlords, and partners are drafted first and wait for your approval. Widen that autonomy yourself, step by step, if you choose.
Pricing, wholesale, spend, hiring, and strategy stay with you. The agent lays out the numbers and the options; it never commits money.
Deleting a record, voiding a document, or cancelling anything stops for explicit approval, whatever autonomy you have granted elsewhere.
Every file the agent read and every draft it wrote is logged. Your figures are encrypted and never used to train a model; self-host if the data must stay on your own infrastructure.
