Keyloop AIME and other AI tools for car dealerships: what each does today.
Keyloop AIME is a website sales agent inside Keyloop's Fusion platform: it searches live stock, values part-exchanges, gives finance quotes and passes qualified leads to the sales team. A WhatsApp contact-centre version and full aftersales capability were announced for 2026; Keyloop's AIME pages do not yet describe service booking, WhatsApp or the languages it speaks. Salesteq writes service appointments into Keyloop and Autoline in production, 15,000+ bookings at 29 service centres, on WhatsApp, in Gulf Arabic and English. You do not have to choose: Salesteq sits in front of Keyloop, not instead of it.

What Keyloop AIME is
AIME was built by Motortech.ai, a UK company. Keyloop agreed to buy it in January 2026 and completed the deal on 1 April 2026. Keyloop is integrating AIME into Fusion, its automotive retail platform, across Vehicle Hub (stock), Acquisition Hub (dealer websites) and Sales Hub.
Keyloop describes AIME as an agent that "answers every sales and service enquiry 24/7 using your live stock and data". On its product page the named tasks are sales tasks: search and compare live stock, value a part-exchange, give finance quotes and capture application details, and pass qualified leads with a conversation summary. The acquisition release adds test-drive preferences and booking appointments; Motortech.ai lists test-drive and callback booking as live in April 2026.
Keyloop publishes results from one unnamed UK dealer using AIME on its website: web conversion up fourfold to 14.5% over three months, and GBP 18 returned per GBP 1 invested.

When Keyloop AIME is the better fit
If you are a UK dealer on Fusion and your main problem is website sales leads, AIME is the natural choice. It reads your Fusion stock and specification data directly, values part-exchanges and quotes finance in the conversation, and it comes from the vendor you already contract with: one supplier, one data agreement, one support line. Salesteq does not value part-exchanges or produce finance quotes.
When Salesteq is the better fit
If your customers write on WhatsApp, speak Arabic or switch between Arabic and English, and you want the agent to book real service visits into the Keyloop or Autoline diary today, not after a roadmap date. Salesteq runs that in production: about 1,000 real customer conversations a day, appointments with the right branch, advisor and workshop time, moved and cancelled on request, and "is my car ready?" answered from the repair order.
The same agent covers the showroom side: stock answers, verified test drives and leads into the CRM, with one inbox for the team when a person takes over.
Should you wait for AIME?
Ask Keyloop three things for your own branches: the date aftersales booking into your diary is live, the date WhatsApp is live on your own number, and which languages AIME answers in. If all three are dates you can wait for, waiting is reasonable. If not, the cost of waiting is every service call and WhatsApp message that is not answered in the evening: 48% of our customer conversations arrive outside 08:00 to 18:00.
Running a third-party agent does not lock you out of AIME later. Salesteq connects through Keyloop's own partner API, the same gateway Keyloop's partner apps use, and writes into the same diary. A dealer can run AIME on the Fusion website and Salesteq on WhatsApp and service booking, or switch either off, without touching the DMS.
Questions about Keyloop AIME
What is Keyloop AIME?+
AIME is an AI customer agent for car dealers, built by Motortech.ai and owned by Keyloop since 1 April 2026. It is being integrated into Keyloop's Fusion platform. On Keyloop's product page it searches live stock, values part-exchanges, gives finance quotes and passes qualified leads to the sales team, 24/7.
How does Keyloop AIME compare to other AI communication tools for car dealerships?+
AIME is strongest on website sales inside Fusion: stock, part-exchange and finance in one conversation. Its WhatsApp contact-centre version and full aftersales capability were announced for 2026, and its languages are not published. Salesteq is live on WhatsApp, the website and the phone menu, in Arabic including Gulf dialects and English, and writes service appointments into Keyloop and Autoline at 29 service centres.
Can Keyloop AIME book service appointments?+
Keyloop's acquisition release says AIME can book appointments, and Motortech.ai lists test-drive and callback booking as live. Full aftersales capability was announced for later in 2026. Keyloop's AIME product page does not describe service booking into the workshop diary; ask Keyloop for the status at your branches.
Does Keyloop AIME work on WhatsApp?+
Keyloop announced in January 2026 that AIME would be extended into a contact-centre solution for social channels, WhatsApp, SMS and email. As of November 2026 no launch is published on Keyloop's AIME pages.
Which languages does Keyloop AIME speak?+
Not published. Salesteq runs in Arabic including Gulf dialects, English, German, French, Russian and Tajik in production.
Can we run Salesteq and Keyloop AIME together?+
Yes. Both write into Keyloop; neither replaces the DMS. A common split is AIME for website sales on Fusion and Salesteq for WhatsApp, Arabic and service booking. Each channel gets one agent, so a customer never talks to two.
Should we wait for AIME instead of buying a third-party agent?+
Wait if Keyloop gives you dates for service booking, WhatsApp and your languages that you can live with. If not, a third-party agent that already books into Keyloop answers your customers now and can be switched off later without changes in the DMS.
Do we need Fusion to use Salesteq?+
No. Salesteq connects to Keyloop Autoline and the Keyloop diary through Keyloop's partner API, per contract and dealer code. Sales advice, lead capture and the team inbox also run without a DMS connection.
