lumika answers your customers 24/7 across voice, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, web, and the Auto Agent Protocol. We capture conversions on whichever channel the customer actually uses, and sit on top of any dealer CRM without replacing it.
Founders of the Auto Agent Protocol
The open standard so ChatGPT and other AI assistants can find inventory and book appointments at our dealers.
What lumika does
lumika handles inbound and outbound conversations for sales, reception, and service — wherever your customers actually reach out.
Capture every inbound lead, qualify trade-ins, answer financing questions, and book test drives — across every channel a customer might use.
Never miss a call. lumika answers in seconds, routes complex requests to the right person, and handles the repetitive questions that today consume your BDC's hours.
Confirm, reschedule, and remind. lumika reduces no-shows and keeps the service lane full with proactive outreach and instant answers about appointments and status.
Why lumika
Every dealership feels these. lumika turns each one into recovered revenue, recovered hours, and a calmer BDC.
Every missed call, unanswered DM, and forgotten follow-up is a deal a competitor closes for you.
