Who We Are

Car Genius AI is building the infrastructure that makes dealers transactable in AI shopping flows. We're creating the rails that connect dealer inventory, pricing, and operations directly to AI agents—so the best dealers win on experience, not ad spend.

Our Story

We've known each other for over a decade, building companies in parallel. Now we're building the future of automotive buying together.
