Sarah AI ReceptionistPilot

    When your team can’t answer, Sarah can start the conversation.

    Sarah answers selected calls when staff cannot, understands why the customer is calling, captures the useful details and sends the right team a clean summary.

    Start with overflow, after-hours or one department. Your staff still confirms appointments, availability, pricing and advice.

    Sarah, at a glance.

    What it is
    A human-controlled AI receptionist for selected dealership overflow and after-hours calls.
    Who it helps
    Sales, service, parts and reception teams that need a clear handoff when staff cannot answer.
    Problem it solves
    Important call context can disappear before the right dealership employee follows up.
    How it works
    Sarah follows an approved call scope, captures the reason for the call and sends a structured summary to a dealership-owned destination.
    Current status
    Pilot or custom build. The neutral public browser demo is still being prepared.
    Data and integrations
    A first pilot can use an approved inbox or queue. CRM, DMS, scheduling or phone connections depend on supported access and separate testing.
    What it does not claim
    Sarah does not confirm appointments, diagnose vehicles, quote repairs, make finance decisions or make customer commitments unless a later workflow is explicitly approved and tested.

    The neutral demo will use your browser microphone so you can try a simple dealership call without connecting to a real store. Until its separate voice agent is ready, we can walk you through the experience privately.

    Use made-up details only. Do not share a real customer name, phone number, VIN, payment information or sensitive vehicle concern.

    Two-minute maximum. Evoworks will not save a transcript by default; provider processing must be reviewed before launch.

    Across the store

    One front door. Better handoffs by department.

    Sarah does not need to solve the whole call. Her job is to understand the request, collect the right context and make the next conversation easier.

    Service

    Capture the concern, vehicle details, timing and callback preference, then send the service team a clean summary.

    What happens on a call

    From ringing phone to useful follow-up.

    The setup stays simple enough for staff to understand who receives the call, what Sarah asks and what happens next.

    1. 01

      Sarah answers.

      Use Sarah for selected overflow or after-hours calls when your team cannot pick up.

    2. 02

      She finds the reason.

      Sarah asks which department the caller needs and listens for the purpose of the call.

    3. 03

      She captures the details.

      Approved questions collect the contact, vehicle and timing information your team needs.

    4. 04

      Your team gets the handoff.

      A short summary goes to the agreed inbox, queue or dashboard for staff follow-up.

    Optional operations dashboard

    See why customers call—and what still needs attention.

    A dashboard can be scoped with the pilot to make calls searchable and show volume, reason, department, outcome and follow-up state. The interface below is a concept, not a finished store deployment.

    Where it helps

    Save the opportunity—and the back-and-forth.

    Sarah is most useful where missed calls create extra work or leave a customer waiting without a clear owner.

    Fewer calls disappear into voicemail

    Give selected callers a useful first response when the store is busy or closed.

    Better-prepared callbacks

    Staff can see why the customer called before picking up the phone.

    Less note taking

    Every handled call follows the same capture format instead of relying on memory or a rushed message.

    Better manager visibility

    An optional dashboard can show common call reasons and follow-up that still needs an owner.

    FAQ

    Questions before Sarah answers the first call.

    The pilot scope is set around the dealership’s real phone setup and staff responsibilities.

    Can Sarah book service or sales appointments?
    Not in the first pilot. Sarah can capture the caller's preferred timing and send it to staff, but the dealership confirms the appointment. Direct booking would only be considered after scheduler access, availability rules, conflicts and fallback handling are verified.
    Does Sarah replace our receptionist, BDC or advisors?
    No. Sarah covers selected first-response lanes when staff cannot answer. Your team still handles advice, availability, customer commitments and exceptions.
    What kinds of calls can Sarah handle?
    A pilot can cover selected service, sales, parts, finance or general inquiries. The exact call types and questions are agreed with the dealership before testing.
    Can Sarah connect to our phone system?
    That depends on the provider and routing options already in place. Evoworks checks the actual phone setup before confirming how calls can be sent to Sarah.
    Does Sarah need access to our CRM or DMS?
    No. A first pilot can send structured summaries to an approved inbox or queue without CRM or DMS access. Any deeper connection is a separate step that requires supported access and testing.
    Is the operations dashboard included?
    It is an optional capability that can be scoped with the pilot. The dashboard shown on this page is an illustrative concept, not a claim that your store's finished dashboard already exists.
    What happens with urgent or sensitive calls?
    Sarah follows an approved message and escalation path for the call types the dealership identifies. She does not diagnose vehicle issues, quote repairs, make finance decisions or improvise advice.
