Greg Cooper, Founder and CEO of ENGAGEDAI, will join automotive leaders and technology experts at Premier Auto Summit 2026 on October 8, 2026, at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Premier Auto Summit brings together leaders from across the automotive industry to explore new technology, share strategies, and discuss the changes shaping the future of automotive retail. The 2026 event is expected to bring together more than 150 automotive professionals, while the 2025 Summit attracted nearly 400 automotive executives, visionaries, and industry experts.
Exploring the Next Generation of Automotive AI
During the Premier Auto Summit, Cooper will discuss the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and how dealerships can put those advancements to work in real world automotive retail environments.
Artificial intelligence is quickly moving beyond basic chatbots and automated responses. The next generation of automotive AI is about connecting dealership data, CRM activity, inventory, customer conversations, appointments, follow up activity, and shopper intent so dealership teams can communicate more effectively and respond to opportunities faster.
For dealers, the opportunity is not simply to automate more tasks. It is to create stronger connections between the dealership, its employees, its data, and its customers.
Connecting Dealership Data, Customers, and Conversations
ENGAGEDAI is helping move automotive artificial intelligence from isolated tools into a connected dealership engagement platform.
At the center of the ENGAGEDAI platform is OTTO, an Automotive AI Sales Agent designed to integrate with dealership CRM systems and help manage customer communication, follow up, appointment scheduling, inventory matching, CRM activity, and other important dealership workflows.
Rather than treating every customer conversation as an isolated interaction, connected AI can use dealership data and previous customer activity to create more relevant communication throughout the buying journey.
ENGAGEDAI technology also extends beyond lead response. The platform includes tools for appointment management, customer engagement campaigns, SocialMining, Nudges, reputation and brand awareness, mobile technology, and additional AI solutions designed to connect dealership teams with customers and actionable data.
Turning Automotive AI Into Measurable Engagement
ENGAGEDAI has built its technology around a simple idea. Better engagement creates better opportunities.
The company's AI technology can work with dealership CRM data to support personalized customer communication, appointment activity, follow up, and ongoing engagement. This allows dealership employees to spend more time building relationships and working active opportunities while AI helps manage many of the repetitive communication and data tasks that can slow dealership teams down.
ENGAGEDAI has reported significant results from dealership implementations, including one Hyundai dealership that generated 168 appointments during its first month using the technology, with 92 of those appointments resulting in vehicle sales. Another dealership recorded a 450 percent increase in CRM appointments within 30 days.
ENGAGEDAI was also named Automotive AI Sales Agents Company of the Year for 2025 by Auto Tech Outlook, recognition of the company's growing role in bringing practical artificial intelligence into automotive retail.
AI Designed Around the Dealership
The next stage of automotive AI will be about connection.
Connecting CRM data with customer conversations. Connecting vehicle inventory with shopper intent. Connecting sales and service opportunities. Connecting online activity with dealership employees. Most importantly, connecting the enormous amount of data dealerships already possess with technology capable of turning that information into useful action.
That is the direction Greg Cooper and ENGAGEDAI will bring to the conversation at Premier Auto Summit 2026.
As dealerships evaluate the next generation of automotive technology, the discussion is shifting from whether dealerships should use artificial intelligence to how AI can be integrated into everyday dealership operations in ways that improve customer engagement and produce measurable business results.
