AI agents for finance teams in automotive
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your automotive finance team already uses, from hunting down funding by hand to schedules that build themselves for review.
Dealer and shop finance desks get back the hours lost to funding hunts, floorplan checks, and month-end schedules.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
- Every delivered car turns into cashLender funding is matched to each delivered deal, so a contract in transit never ages in silence.
- Floorplan interest stops on sold carsPayoffs and curtailment dates are watched, so you never pay interest on a unit that left the lot.
- Warranty claims get paid, not forgottenEach factory claim is paired with its repair order and followed until the credit posts.
- Month-end schedules ready for the controllerReceivables, payables, parts, and gross schedules are built before the factory statement deadline.
- Parts and sublet bills matched to the jobSupplier statements are checked against repair orders, so nobody pays twice or loses a credit.
- Built around your deskThese are examples. Build a custom agent for any finance job you repeat.
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 Finance team's day.
Where the hours go
A car leaves on a spot delivery, the lender's funding notice lands in a portal nobody opens until the contracts-in-transit list is a week old, and earned cash sits in limbo while a deal the lender will not buy gets unwound far too late.
An agent reads the lender notices and the delivery log on a schedule, matches funded deals to the ledger, and flags any contract past its stipulation or unwind window, so the controller reviews an aging list instead of building one.
Floorplan interest keeps running on cars that sold days ago because the payoff request waited behind a busy week, and the curtailment debit arrives before anyone set cash aside for it.
An agent compares sold units with the floorplan statement each morning, drafts the payoff request for approval, and posts the curtailment calendar to the finance channel so the money is ready before the debit.
Warranty and factory claims get filed from repair orders by whoever has a spare hour, so some slip past the manufacturer's window and others come back rejected with a reason code nobody reads for weeks.
An agent pairs each closed repair order with its claim, lists the ones still unfiled or unpaid, and logs every rejection reason against the job so the service manager can fix and resubmit.
Month-end means the controller rebuilding the same receivables, payables, parts, and gross schedules by hand in Excel while the factory statement deadline closes in and parts inventory refuses to match the ledger.
An agent builds each schedule on the first business day, lists every variance line, and leaves the controller to explain the differences and sign off, not to assemble the pack.

You stay in control
An agent that touches funding, floorplan, and the ledger only earns its place if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you see what it opened, approve anything that leaves the building, and keep every deal record as your own.
Payoff requests, claim resubmissions, and customer statements are drafted and queued for sign-off. Nothing goes out on its own unless you widen autonomy through Approval Modes.
The agent prepares entries, schedules, and payment batches. A person approves every journal entry, tax return, and payment release.
An audit trail shows what the agent read, what it drafted, and when, so your auditor or lender can follow the work.
You choose which accounts and DMS screens the agent can open, and none of your deal data is used to train AI models.
