Pulp AI Studio launches an AI-powered automotive answering service designed to help dealerships avoid losing after-hours internet leads and missed sales calls, engaging prospective buyers and booking appointments around the clock.
-- Pulp AI Studio has launched a purpose-built automotive answering service for car, RV, and powersports dealerships across the United States, designed to help dealerships address the after-hours lead gap that can result in missed appointments and sales opportunities. The AI-powered tool responds to internet leads and missed sales calls in under a minute, follows up on vehicle interest via text, schedules test drives and service appointments, and automatically records every lead in the dealership’s existing CRM.

The launch targets a key gap in dealership lead handling, says the team. The 2025 DAS Technology Lead Response Study found that 19% of dealers take over an hour to respond to new leads and 4% never respond. Cox Automotive reports that car buyers spend over 14 hours researching online, often outside business hours, before reaching out to a dealership. This suggests that dealerships risk missing valuable opportunities if they cannot respond promptly to prospective customers.
Against that backdrop, Pulp AI Studio says its automotive answering service helps dealerships maintain customer engagement beyond the hours when Business Development Center (BDC) teams are typically available. Unlike outsourced BDCs or traditional answering services, which charge monthly subscriptions or per-lead and per-minute fees, Pulp AI Studio delivers its solution as a scoped, two-week build. After deployment, dealerships own the entire system, including the prompts, phone number, and SMS provider, with optional ongoing support.
“For many dealerships, the challenge isn’t generating interest but maintaining engagement when buyer inquiries arrive after hours,” said a Pulp AI Studio representative. “Our AI system helps keep those conversations moving until staff are available.”
According to Pulp AI Studio, the system keeps prospective buyers engaged until staff are available. Each interaction is automatically recorded in the dealership’s CRM, such as VinSolutions, DealerSocket, Elead, or HubSpot, including details like vehicle interest, timeline, and financing intent.
