Use cases · After hours
The buyer writes at 11 pm. The showroom opens at 9. The agent is already done.
Car buyers compare at night, on the sofa, on WhatsApp and Instagram. Dealers answer the next morning, by which time the buyer has three other replies. Salesteq answers the moment the message arrives, from live stock and list prices, books the test drive or the service appointment, verifies the phone number, and leaves the sales team a lead with a brief instead of a missed message.

What the agent finishes at night
- 01Stock and price questions, answered from the dealer's live data with cards and photos; list prices only, no invented discounts.
- 02Test drives and showroom visits, booked into a real calendar with a verified phone number and a reminder before the slot.
- 03Service appointments, written into the Keyloop or Autoline workshop diary for the next free time the branch is open.
- 04Financing and trade-in questions, answered within the brand's rules and handed to a consultant with the figures already collected.
- 05Everything that needs a person, such as a complaint, a negotiation or a fleet request, captured with the whole conversation and placed in the team inbox for the morning.
Why "we'll call you back tomorrow" loses the sale
A buyer who writes to four dealers at 10 pm buys from the one who answered with a car, a price and a slot. A chatbot that asks for a name and promises a call is, from the buyer's side, the same as no answer. Salesteq does the work in the conversation: the lead the salesperson finds at 9 am already has a verified number, a model, a budget and a booked visit. The morning call is a confirmation, not a cold call.
At the first dealer group that ran it, one in four cars sold started with a conversation with the agent, and 46% of quiet leads answered the agent's WhatsApp follow-up within seven days, most within a day.
What waits for the team in the morning
| Overnight | At 9 am |
|---|---|
| Stock question answered, test drive booked | A lead with name, verified phone, car and slot; the consultant confirms and prepares the car. |
| Service booked at 23:40 | An appointment in the workshop diary like any other; nobody retypes it. |
| Complaint at 22:15 | A handover in the Waiting tab with the full conversation, assigned to the service team, with the customer told when to expect an answer. |
| Instagram comment under a reel | One short public reply already posted as the brand; the DM that followed is a lead. |
Weekends, holidays, Ramadan
Opening hours, branch closures and holiday calendars are configured per branch, so the agent books only times the workshop and the showroom are really open, and tells the customer when a person will follow up. In Gulf markets that includes Friday and the shifted hours of Ramadan; in Europe, Sundays and public holidays. The agent itself has no hours.
Questions about after-hours coverage
What does the AI do when a customer writes at night?+
It answers from live stock and prices, books test drives and service appointments, verifies the phone number, and leaves a lead with a brief in the CRM and a handover in the team inbox for anything that needs a person. 48% of conversations at live dealers arrive outside 08:00 to 18:00.
Does it book into a real calendar or just take a request?+
A real calendar: test drives and visits into the dealer's calendar, service into the Keyloop or Autoline workshop diary, confirmed to the customer immediately.
What about questions it should not answer alone?+
Complaints, negotiations and anything outside the brand's rules are handed to a named team with the whole conversation. The customer is told when to expect a person, and the AI does not guess.
Which channels are covered at night?+
WhatsApp, the website, Instagram and Messenger, and the phone where a voice agent or a phone-menu booking link is set up.
Can it answer in the customer's language at 2 am?+
Yes. Arabic including Gulf dialects, English, German, French, Russian and any other language; it switches when the customer does.
