From the first question to the next step
A useful conversation. A clearer handoff.
See the sales workflows demonstrated today. A dealership pilot defines how they fit your real data, team, and processes.
Inventory & vehicle questions
Help shoppers explore vehicles, ask about listed availability, and narrow their interests using the inventory information supplied to the assistant. The public demo uses sample inventory; live inventory access is scoped during pilot.
Vehicle-specific Q&A
Answer questions about a selected vehicle’s equipment, drivetrain, seating, and other supplied specifications. Missing details stay unknown. Dealership staff confirm final availability, equipment, pricing, financing, and trade-in values.
Test-drive scheduling
Move from vehicle interest to a selected time and a test-drive booking in the demo calendar. The public demo books fictional appointments only. Real scheduling rules and calendar connections are scoped during pilot.
Structured Lead Capture
Collect a shopper’s name, email or phone, vehicle interest, preferred visit time, purchase timeline, and trade-in interest when provided. Prepare a conversation summary and next step for a salesperson.
Sales Lead Inbox / Calendar
Review captured interests and follow-up information in the demo Sales Lead Inbox, alongside scheduled demo visits in the Sales Calendar. Both show only the current private demo session; they are not a connected production CRM.

Inside the demo
Give the sales team context for the next conversation.
The Sales Lead Inbox and Calendar demonstrate the handoff from inquiry to follow-up. These are actual demo interface screenshots with fictional data and illustrative metrics; Northline Motors is a fictional dealership, not an ASTERHOP customer.
Demo leads and appointments are temporary, session-specific examples. Use fictional personal information when trying the demo.
FAQ
Questions before your first conversation.
What the demo does today, and what we scope together for a dealership pilot.
What can ASTERHOP answer on a dealership website?
ASTERHOP Dealer Assistant handles initial sales inquiries, inventory questions, vehicle-specific questions based on supplied information, test-drive interest, and sales follow-up details. The public demo shows these workflows using fictional vehicles and sample appointment slots. Details outside the supplied information need confirmation from dealership staff.
Can ASTERHOP respond when the dealership is closed?
The assistant can handle initial website inquiries without waiting for a salesperson, including after-hours inquiries when the service is available. Pilot availability and handoff arrangements are agreed with the dealership. The public demo has usage limits and may be temporarily unavailable; it is not a production uptime guarantee.
Can ASTERHOP answer questions about a specific vehicle?
Yes. The demo can keep track of a shopper’s selected vehicle and answer from its supplied specifications, including equipment and drivetrain details. Its inventory is fictional and is not verified against real VINs. Unknown specifications are identified rather than invented.
Can shoppers schedule a test drive through the AI assistant?
Yes, in the demo a shopper can select a sample slot and provide a name plus an email or valid phone number to book a fictional test drive. The booking appears in the demo Inbox and Calendar. No real dealership calendar is connected; production scheduling and confirmation rules are scoped during pilot.
What information does ASTERHOP collect for the sales team?
The demo captures information the shopper provides, such as name, email or phone, interested vehicle, visit timing, purchase timeline, and trade-in interest, with a summary for follow-up. Demo data is temporary and held in the private browser session’s server memory; it is not delivered to a real sales team or CRM. Please use fictional contact details in the demo. Data handling and handoff requirements are scoped during pilot.
Does ASTERHOP replace dealership sales staff?
No. It supports the initial conversation and organizes information for human follow-up. Sales staff remain responsible for confirming vehicle details, availability, pricing, finance terms, trade-in values, appointments, and the sale.
How does ASTERHOP work with dealership inventory?
The current public demo uses sample, fictional inventory supplied to the assistant. It has no real dealer production integration. A pilot scopes the inventory source, field coverage, refresh process, availability checks, and the questions that should be handed to staff before any live dealership rollout.
Can ASTERHOP connect with our CRM or scheduling system?
CRM, calendar, and inventory production integrations are scoped during pilot. The current public demo has no real dealer production integration, and ASTERHOP does not claim support for every CRM or DMS. Contact us to review your systems and agree on a feasible pilot scope.
