DriveCentric Launches Autonomous AI Agents for Dealerships
DriveCentric announced a suite of autonomous AI agents built natively into its Customer Engagement Platform to augment dealership operations across departments. The release introduces three purpose-built agents — Nurture Agent, Prospect Agent and Sales Agent — that autonomously execute workflows such as after-hours lead response, proactive database outreach and post-sale retention. The agents are managed via a new experience layer with dashboards and coaching tools, and the company says the models are trained on over a decade of dealership engagement data and ownership lifecycle signals. Early results cited include faster lead responses, higher show rates and more reactivated opportunities. Matt Leone, DriveCentric CEO, said the company plans additional agents later in the year and centralizes context on its Customer Card.
Optimove Launches Optimove AI Marketing Suite
Optimove announced Optimove AI, a marketing AI suite designed to operate inside its platform, within third-party AI tools, and on top as custom applications. The product is built around three pillars — Native AI (in-platform AI agents and Decisioning Studio), the Optimove MCP (Model Context Protocol) which connects Optimove to AI surfaces like Claude and ChatGPT, and Optimove Custom Apps for bespoke client workflows. The suite preserves governance and activation controls across entry points. The announcement cites industry research (Forrester May 2025 and Gartner May 2026) highlighting a gap between AI budget allocation and organizational AI readiness. Pini Yakuel, Optimove CEO, is quoted describing the launch as an extension of Optimove’s Positionless Marketing approach.
