Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a pivotal role in enhancing dealership operations and customer service. myKaarma is using AI-driven tools to simplify dealership communication, improve customer interactions, and ensure that no critical message is missed.
This blog explores how myKaarma’s AI-powered tools transform dealership communications, enabling service teams to respond more efficiently and effectively to customer needs.
AI and Message Filtering: Prioritizing What Matters Most
At the heart of myKaarma’s AI augmentation is its message filtering system, which helps service advisors focus on customer messages that require immediate attention. With dealerships handling an increasing volume of communications daily, it’s easy for important customer inquiries to get lost in the mix. myKaarma’s AI-powered prevents this, automatically filtering incoming messages into relevant categories such as “waiting for response” and “not waiting for response.”
The “waiting for response” category highlights messages that require immediate attention from the dealership, ensuring no customer is left waiting too long for a response. With AI assistance, service advisors can prioritize their time more effectively and ensure they are addressing the most urgent customer needs first.
The AI engine filters messages further. For example, if a customer sends a call that lasts fewer than 15 seconds, the AI engine flags it as a missed call and places it in the appropriate category. The system also detects and transcribes voicemails, helping advisors categorize and manage call customer communication more efficiently.
Opt-In and Opt-Out Management Made Easy with AI
One of the most complex areas of customer communication is the management of opt-in and opt-out requests. Ensuring compliance with customer preferences while maintaining communication can be challenging. myKaarma’s AI tools simplify this process, making it easier for dealerships to record and respect customer communication preferences.
For example, myKaarma’s AI engine can detect when a customer sends an opt-out request, even if they don’t explicitly say “stop” but instead respond with “wrong number” or “I don’t want texts anymore.” The system recognizes this as an intent to opt-out and processes the request accordingly. This reduces the need for manual intervention and ensures that customer preferences are honored in real-time.
Additionally, myKaarma’s double opt-in system offers an extra layer of protection for dealerships. If a dealership attempts to manually add a customer’s phone number and send a message, the AI system steps in, preventing the message from going through until the customer explicitly opts in. This ensures compliance with industry regulations and safeguards dealerships from potential legal risks associated with unsolicited messages.
Sentiment Analysis: Identifying Upset Customers
Another exciting area where myKaarma is leveraging AI is sentiment analysis. Although still in early development, AI is gaining the ability to detect negative customer sentiments by analyzing message content. For instance, if a customer sends a message such as, “My car broke down again,” the system recognizes this as a negative sentiment and flags the customer as potentially upset so that the dealership can respond accordingly.
While sentiment analysis is still being refined, it holds great potential for dealerships looking to improve customer satisfaction. By automatically alerting the dealership to unhappy customers, myKaarma enables service teams to intervene quickly and address issues before they escalate. In the future, AI-driven sentiment analysis will help dealerships proactively manage customer relationships and ensure more positive outcomes.
Looking Forward: AI in the Future of Dealership Communication
While myKaarma has already made significant progress in integrating AI into dealership communications, the future holds even greater potential. As technology evolves, we are committed to expanding its AI-driven capabilities to enhance customer engagement and streamline dealership operations.
From sentiment analysis to more advanced opt-out detection, AI will play an increasingly crucial role in helping dealerships provide more personalized and efficient customer service. By leveraging AI to manage communication, dealerships can focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences while ensuring they comply with industry regulations.
