AI lead response for dealerships
The only AI that sends a real video of the car.
Every other AI in auto sends text. LotVideo sends a custom walkaround video of the exact car your lead asked about, in under 8 minutes. Each video is customized with the customer's name and answers any question they asked during the lead inquiry. Day, night, weekends. No work for your BDC.

The problem
You're paying for leads that die in the inbox.
Most internet leads go cold because nobody answers fast enough, especially after hours. Your BDC can't be everywhere. So the customer buys from whoever replied first, and the leads you already paid for quietly disappear.
Other AI tools try to fix this with text. A customer who's looking at a $40,000 vehicle doesn't want a chatbot. They want to see the car.
How it works

Exclusivity
Your market advantage, locked by contract
LotVideo only works if your competitors don't have it. So we built the cap into the contract: when you sign, you name two competing dealerships in your market — and we're barred from ever selling to them. Every dealership that joins closes the door behind them. That's why LotVideo can never be everywhere, and why markets fill permanently.
- Name two competitors we can never sell to — in writing
- First dealer in a market locks their rate for life
- Dealers entering a market where LotVideo already operates pay $1,497/mo — if their market is open at all
- Access requires a completed demo
- Cancel anytime

Proof
Built on a real dealership floor
I ran the internet department at a Hyundai store in Vancouver and watched leads go cold every night and weekend. So I built the system I wished existed: every lead gets a personalized video of their exact car within minutes — automatically. LotVideo runs live on my floor today. Now I'm opening it to dealerships that want the same advantage — one market at a time.
