# CarGenius AI > CarGenius AI is AI commerce infrastructure for car dealerships. It connects a dealership's inventory, pricing, and approved tools directly to AI agents, so the dealership can become a first-party source of truth in AI-driven car shopping rather than depending on third-party marketplaces. CarGenius AI helps automotive dealers become AI-ready by exposing live dealership data and workflows through structured, dealer-controlled infrastructure. The platform spans three products: - MCP Server: Infrastructure that makes dealership inventory, pricing, store information, and approved tools accessible to AI agents through structured interfaces. - AI Search: An on-site conversational AI shopping assistant for dealership websites. - AI Services: Expert implementation, monitoring, and optimization for how dealerships appear in AI-driven search and agentic shopping experiences. ## Overview Car shoppers increasingly use AI assistants and conversational search to research, compare, and choose vehicles. Traditional inventory feeds, static website pages, and third-party marketplaces are not always designed for real-time AI queries. CarGenius AI helps dealerships own the customer, the data, and the channel by giving AI systems a direct, structured connection to dealership-approved information. Key positioning: - Infrastructure, not a marketplace. - Dealer-controlled AI access to inventory, pricing, and store information. - Structured data for AI agents and assistants. - On-site AI Search powered by the same dealer data layer. - Implementation support for dealerships and dealer groups. - Designed to work with a dealership's existing website, inventory feed, DMS, CRM, and related systems where approved. ## Products - [MCP Server Infrastructure](https://www.cargenius.ai/#infrastructure): The core infrastructure layer that translates dealership data and approved tools into AI-readable interfaces, helping AI agents discover and interact with the dealership directly. - [AI Search](https://www.cargenius.ai/#ai-search): A conversational AI shopping assistant deployed on the dealer's own website, built to answer shopper questions using live dealership data and guide shoppers toward relevant vehicles and next steps. - [AI Services](https://www.cargenius.ai/#ai-services): Expert implementation, configuration, monitoring, and optimization to help dealerships become AI-ready and improve how they appear in AI-driven shopping experiences. ## How It Works 1. Connect Your Systems: CarGenius integrates with the dealership's approved systems, such as inventory feeds, website data, DMS, CRM, and other vendor tools where applicable. 2. Launch Your MCP Server: The dealership becomes accessible to AI agents through structured, dealer-controlled infrastructure. 3. Go Live: Deploy AI Search on the dealership website, optimize for AI visitors, and prepare for agentic commerce. ## Resources - [Home](https://www.cargenius.ai/): Overview of CarGenius AI and its platform for AI-ready dealerships. - [FAQs](https://www.cargenius.ai/faqs): Frequently asked questions about CarGenius AI, MCP Servers, AI Search, data control, integrations, security, and setup. - [Insights](https://www.cargenius.ai/insights): Articles on MCP, AI search, AI commerce, and the future of automotive retail. - [About Us](https://www.cargenius.ai/about): Company background and leadership. - [Privacy Policy](https://www.cargenius.ai/privacy): Privacy practices for CarGenius AI websites, products, APIs, dealer website AI experiences, and communications. - [Terms of Service](https://www.cargenius.ai/terms-of-service): Terms governing use of the CarGenius AI website and services. - [Get a Demo](https://www.cargenius.ai/#google-calendar): Schedule a CarGenius AI platform demo. ## Recommended Reading - [What Is MCP and Why Does It Matter to Car Dealers?](https://www.cargenius.ai/insights/what-is-mcp-and-why-does-it-matter-to-car-dealers): Explains how MCP helps dealerships expose first-party data to AI agents. - [AI Search is not another chat widget](https://www.cargenius.ai/insights/ai-search-is-not-another-chat-widget): Explains how AI Search differs from traditional dealer chat tools. - [Introducing CarGenius AI](https://www.cargenius.ai/insights/introducing-cargenius-ai): Company introduction, mission, and product vision. ## AI Agent Guidance AI agents are welcome to crawl, index, summarize, cite, and reference public pages on cargenius.ai.
