Badco.AI: product details

BadCo.AI says it captures customer intent across voice, text, chat and call center channels and then activates it through department-specific systems for sales desking, parts, service scheduling and inventory acquisition. Its communication layer, named Arya, is described as understanding, deciding, acting and remembering across channels and launching the right agent or a live team response.

The agents listed are sales, call center, voice, service, BDC, text, parts orchestration and a for-sale-by-owner chat tool. Quotes on the page come from its chief executive, Jim Schrull, and from a chief operating officer at Call Team Six.

The home page cites statistics on shoppers: 44 percent of car shoppers have used AI tools during buying, 97 percent of those expect it to influence future purchases, one in four buyers use ChatGPT or similar tools, 40 percent of future buyers plan to, and 88 percent found AI helpful. It also claims department gains of 25 percent more sales appointments, 30 percent more service bookings, 28 percent faster parts quote responses and 35 percent more inventory sold.

None of the figures is sourced on the page.

It announces a patent-pending intelligent desking engine that structures payments from live inventory, lender programs, incentives and credit insights so shoppers can explore on their own, and a parts orchestration engine for inbound parts calls. A dealer should ask for the source of each statistic and result, which DMS and desking systems the engine reads, what lenders are included and how calls and chats are recorded.

The page names a parts orchestration engine meant to answer inbound parts calls and speed quote follow-up, and an intelligent desking engine meant to give shoppers payment options built from live inventory, lender programs, incentives and credit signals. A dealer should ask which lenders and incentive feeds sit behind the payment numbers, how often they refresh and how the engine hands a shopper to a person.
