An automated intelligence dispatch on the artificial intelligence reshaping how automotive dealerships sell, service, and operate — three times a week, in plain language, for the people running the store.
The Garage AI tracks the intersection of artificial intelligence and dealership operations — the software, services, and strategies reshaping how stores sell, service, and merchandise vehicles. Voice AI on the service drive, machine-learning desking and inventory pricing, autonomous BDC and CRM follow-up, generative merchandising on the VDP.
We stay in one niche: AI as the dealership operating system, told department by department. No OEM/manufacturing, no connected-vehicle data, no consumer reviews — just what the people running the store actually need to know.
Three times a week at 08:00, an automated pipeline produces a dispatch. Monday and Thursday it queries Perplexity Sonar for recent dealership-AI news, ranks the most operator-relevant developments of the week, and sends those sources to Claude to synthesize — a 2-minute Brief on Monday, a longer Deep Dive on Thursday. Friday produces a Roundup of the week's own coverage.
There is no human journalist in the loop; the editorial judgment lives in the pipeline. Every dispatch lists its sources, because being transparent about how the content is made is part of the contract with the reader.
Every dispatch answers one question: what does this actually mean for my store — will it make money, save time, retain customers — and does it work, or is it vendor noise? Claims are concrete and measurable, never aspirational fluff. Two dispatches of signal, one of synthesis, zero hype.
