A customer calls.
Sophia answers.
Your team gets the appointment.
Dealership, garage, body shop: Sophia answers every call, 24/7, in the caller’s language, as well as your website visitors and your emails. She books into your calendars, updates your CRM and turns every enquiry into an appointment. Even on a Saturday evening.
Live in your browser, in your company’s name. 3 minutes, no email or phone number needed.
An assistant who already knows your trade.
She knows a service can turn into a test drive, that winter tyres get booked before the first snow, that a trade-in is priced at an appointment and that a claim runs through the assessor and the insurer. We sold cars before we built her.

You decide when Sophia answers.
Sophia is switched on with simple call forwarding. You keep your number and your switchboard, and you choose when she takes over.
Nobody picks up? The call goes to Sophia.
Your switchboard rings first. If nobody answers or the line is busy, the call is forwarded to Sophia instead of voicemail.
- Your team always picks up first
- No more calls going to voicemail
Every call goes to Sophia.
She answers every call, routes it and resolves what she can. The rest goes to the right department, with the summary, before your colleague even picks up.
- Your switchboard is never overloaded
- Your teams only handle what matters
Generic AI switchboard or Kardanos
An AI switchboard answers. Sophia grows your business.
What you really get, line by line. A generic AI switchboard answers the phone; Sophia answers your calls and your emails, organises, follows up and brings you revenue.
Included Partial or depending on plan Usually not included
Comparison with generic self-service AI phone switchboards on the market. Kardanos features depend on the chosen plan (“from Start”, “from Pro”).
What if Sophia gets it wrong?
An AI on your company’s phone is your image. So she works within limits you set, and a human takes over whenever it helps.
She never makes things up
No price, lead time or promise beyond what you’ve given her. If she doesn’t know, she says so and hands over.
A human in an instant
The customer asks for someone? Transfer to the right department, with the summary before they pick up. Nobody free: message and call-back task.
Your rules, approved by you
We write the scenarios with you: services, opening hours, models, tone. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Everything is visible
Every call is summarised in Cockpit, with every action taken. Sophia introduces herself as an AI from the very first sentence.
What business owners ask us before getting started.
Won’t offering a test drive at every workshop appointment annoy customers?
Sophia offers it once, as a service, when the customer has already planned to wait. If they decline, she notes it and doesn’t push. You choose which customers, models and slots it applies to.
Will my customers know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. Sophia introduces herself as your dealership’s AI assistant from the very first sentence, as EU regulations require. What your customers remember: an immediate answer and an appointment without waiting.
Do I need to change my number?
No. Sophia is switched on by forwarding calls from your current line, either when unanswered or immediately. We guide you through the setup.
Does she work with our DMS and our CRM?
We connect Kardanos to your workshop calendars, DMS, CRM and used-car listing feeds, through their APIs or our workflows. You have nothing to develop. We check compatibility during the demo.
We have several brands and several sites.
One number per site or a shared switchboard: Sophia routes by brand, site and department, and each team only sees what concerns them in Cockpit.
What if several customers call at the same time?
Sophia takes them in parallel. No busy line, no queue at the switchboard: each customer gets their own conversation, appointment and summary in Cockpit. Monday mornings and lunchtime are exactly when she makes the difference.
What if the customer wants to speak to someone?
She transfers the call to the right department, which gets the summary before picking up. If nobody is available, she takes a message and creates the call-back task.
