After-Hours Lead Response
Most car shopping happens after the store closes, when you are home and offline. Those nighttime and weekend leads are gold, and they usually wait until morning when the buyer has already moved on. JOEY closes that gap. It is conversational AI built for the individual car salesperson, not a call center, and it catches every after-hours lead on nights, weekends, and holidays the moment it lands. JOEY follows up within allowed messaging hours, engages the customer, answers basic questions, and holds the conversation until you clock back in, all while honoring quiet hours and opt-outs so your after-hours coverage stays compliant.
