Nick Perdikis is on the AIDAC stage this afternoon. Before he is, here he is on Daily Dealer Live breaking down what "agentic AI" actually looks like inside a dealership.

The idea: dealers are starting to use AI to pre-qualify used-car acquisition leads before competitors ever reach them.

"The pain point we solve is about acquisition. If you can identify which customers are ready to sell... and take them out of the loop of other competitors... the response rates were very high." — Nick Perdikis, CEO, inride

That's the exact conversation Nick is bringing to the panel today: "Integrating AI in the Dealership: The AI Playbook for Dealer Agents," 3:00 PM, alongside leaders from JD Power, APCO Holdings, Siro, and Allstate Dealer Services.

Come find Nick at the show to discuss dealership-proven AI.

Koons Motors' COO was spending $12K a month on software to move used cars. It still wasn't enough.

So they replaced the stack with one agent. Trade Agent AI works their own past buyers, finds the ones in equity, and books the trade-in appointments on autopilot. 53 deals, acquired direct.

Then the other tools came off the books.

The deals are only half the savings. The software you cut stacks on top.

Used car acquisition. Highest margin on the P&L, cheapest to run.

One conversation. Two deals.

Trade Agent AI texted a past customer at 7:12 in the morning about her truck. She took a number, and by that afternoon she had bought a newer one. Ten days later, her trade sold to the next buyer.

One conversation your team never had to run, two deals from it. That is autonomous used car acquisition, working the customers you already have.

One customer, two deals, $16,188 in gross.

A store sold her a used 2022 Grand Cherokee L, then Trade Agent AI brought her back for a new one and took the 2022 as a trade ($6,590). Ten days later they resold that trade ($9,598). One customer they already had, working twice.
