What you get

## From a question to a real next step

One conversation, from finding a vehicle to asking your team for a visit.

### See an example shopper conversation

1. 01 · Search

   > Find me a used four-wheel-drive truck under $45,000 with fewer than 60,000 miles near Dallas.

   The assistant searches your current inventory and applies the shopper’s exact filters.
2. 02 · Verify

   > Does the black F-150 have heated seats and the 3.5-liter EcoBoost?

   It retrieves exact VIN-level details, synced from your feed and priced the way you priced it.
3. 03 · Consent

   > I want to see it Saturday afternoon. I also have a 2019 Silverado to trade.

   The assistant asks permission before sharing anything. Nothing is sent until the shopper says yes.
4. 04 · Deliver

   ### A request in your CRM

   - **Vehicle inquiry:** Black Ford F-150
   - **Visit requested:** Saturday afternoon
   - **Trade-in interest:** 2019 Silverado
   - **Delivery:** ADF lead, with the consent record attached

   Your team confirms the appointment and follows up. Nothing is booked automatically.

Illustrative conversation. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity work through supported connections; each assistant controls its availability and behavior.

## One connection. Your choice of channels.

Your website’s agent card describes the connection and its capabilities. Publishing inventory through Car Handshake requires separate dealer authorization. You can pause the connection anytime.
