How It Works

From Anonymous Browser
to Booked Appointment

1

It reads the page they're on

page.metadata
VDP: 2024 RAV4 XLE · $32,450 · in stock
2:14 on page · 3rd visit · came from Google

Every page carries metadata (model, trim, price, page type) and Chat AI reads it all, plus their path and past visits. Context first, so the experience is curated, not canned.

2

Greeted like a person, not a popup

Hi! 👋 That RAV4 you're looking at is in stock. Want the 60-second walkaround?✦ page-aware, not "How can I help?"

The opener matches the page: a VDP visitor hears about that car; a service page visitor gets offered a time. Beautiful, on-brand, and impossible to mistake for a generic widget.

Appointments booked in the thread, leads captured in conversation, and if they leave your site, AI Reply continues the same conversation over SMS.

The Tech Underneath

The Same Brain as AI Reply.
A Face Your Website Deserves.

Most auto dealer chatbots are a decision tree in a trench coat. Chat AI is the full Matador AI Engine™ (live inventory, real memory, verified answers) wrapped in the cleanest website chat experience in automotive.

The AI Reply model, on your website

Same reasoning, same live inventory, same next-best-car logic, same verification layers before anything is said. If it closes over SMS, it closes in the widget.

Curated by the page's own metadata

It reads the metadata of every page the shopper browses: model, trim, price, year, page type, plus their path and return visits. Every greeting, answer, and story is curated to exactly what they're looking at. That's what earns engagement.

Stories, built in

Instagram-style video stories at the top of the widget: new arrivals, team intros, promotions, service specials. Tap a story, land in a conversation about that exact car.

Measured on one thing: results

Appointments booked, leads captured, conversations converted. Every greeting and story is tracked against outcomes, and it recommends what to change to convert more.

Only in Matador Chat AI

Stories: Your Showroom,
Inside the Chat.

Shoppers watch stories all day, so put your inventory where their thumbs already are. Instagram-style video stories live at the top of the widget, turning a chat box into a storefront.

  • New arrivals: that just-landed Tacoma gets a story the day it hits the lot.
  • Promotions: seasonal events, trade-in bonuses, service specials, front and center on every page.
  • Intros: your team, your showroom, your story. Trust built before the first message.
  • Tap-to-talk: every story drops the viewer into a conversation about exactly what they just watched.
Configured to Your Store

Your Brand, Down to
the Last Pixel.

It should feel like your website grew a voice, not like a third-party widget landed on it. Every surface is yours to shape, and it integrates natively with the site you already have.

  • Fully brandable: your colors, your avatar, your greeting voice, your fonts. Native to your site, not bolted on.
  • Greetings per page type: VDPs, service pages, specials, homepage: each gets its own opener strategy.
  • Story scheduling: publish arrivals weekly, run promos on a calendar, retire expired offers automatically.
  • The same guardrails as AI Reply: pricing display rules, escalation to your live team, quiet-hours handoffs.
  • Conversion coaching: it reports which greetings and stories convert, and recommends what to change.
Results Are All We Care About

Built for the Highest
Engagement Rate on Your Site

Your website traffic is the most expensive audience you own. A beautiful widget that doesn't book is decoration. Chat AI is judged the way you judge your floor: conversations started, leads captured, appointments on the board.

Engagement isn't a vanity metric here: it's the top of the funnel you already paid for. More conversations started means more leads, more appointments, more sold, and every one of them flows straight into your CRM with the full transcript.

The Questions Dealers Ask

Straight Answers

What exactly is Chat AI?
Matador on your website: it chats with anonymous visitors who haven’t submitted any contact info yet. Matador, outside of Matador.
How is it different from AI Reply?
It answers questions the same way (same brain, same inventory) but its primary goal is lead capture: politely, persistently working toward a name and phone number so the conversation can move into Matador.
What happens once a visitor shares their info?
Instantly: a new conversation is created in Matador, Chat AI confirms (“I’ve shared your info with our sales team”) and the customer gets an SMS continuing the same thread, now on text instead of your website.
How fast does a human get involved?
About two minutes in observed cases: website chat at 1:38 PM, conversation in Matador, tagged salesperson notified and answering by 1:40 PM.
What does it do with pricing questions?
It won’t give out-the-door pricing. It offers a team member for that, and uses the moment to collect the name and number, then tags your designated person with the pricing intent.
Who takes over the conversation in Matador?
The tagged salesperson, if they jump in. If they don’t, AI Reply continues automatically: the customer never waits on an empty thread.
Can staff get notified of every chat conversation?
Yes, it’s a per-user setting. Tag someone on every Chat AI conversation, on unassigned conversations, or whenever an appointment is created.
Does it know our inventory?
Yes, it answers vehicle and inventory questions, shares browsing links, and handles specifics like “which EVs do you have in my budget?” with live answers.
What does Chat AI replace?
Your third-party chat widget (CarNow, Team Velocity’s chat, and the rest) folding website chat into the same platform, same phone number, and same AI brain as your texting and email.
Why isn’t my chat widget live yet?
Usually Twilio A2P registration: the carrier-side approval every texting business needs before the widget and its SMS can go live. Typically a 1–2 week wait during onboarding, and we handle the filing.
