SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- inride, the rapidly scaling consumer-to-dealer automotive marketplace, announces the official launch of Trade Agent AI — a revolutionary, agentic AI platform purpose-built to help car dealerships unlock hidden trade-in and purchase opportunities directly from their customer database.

This marks the first time the retail auto industry will deploy a fully autonomous AI agent to proactively text values and schedule appointments with vehicle owners without human involvement.

"Every VIN is a trade. Trade Agent AI finds it first," said Nick Perdikis, CEO of inride. "Dealers are sitting on a goldmine inside their database. We've built the first AI that mines it, books it, and turns it into front-end gross — faster than any human team."

Auto dealer Alex Perdikis commented, "As a dealer I know the pain points within our industry. inride's Trade Agent AI gives dealers peace of mind that no stone is being left unturned. The Trade Agent AI works reliably 24/7/365. It is a critical component of our dealership's follow-up. Every trade-in from our own database is worth over $2,500 in more gross than an auction unit. inride's Trade Agent AI uncovers trades before they defect to competitors like CarMax, Carvana, and competing nearby dealers. It is a true game changer."

Key Features of Trade Agent AI:

• Agentic Automation: No scripts. No templates. A fully autonomous AI agent handles outreach, follow-up, value calculation, and appointment setting.

• Managed Service: Trade Agent AI is a fully automated cloud hosted solution. Eliminating any technical burden on the dealership team.

• Proprietary VIN Valuation: Uses real-time market data to generate instant trade-in values and prompts owners to engage.

• CRM-Integrated: Designed to plug into the dealer's own DMS/CRM database for maximum efficiency and compliance.

• Text Compliance: Built-in regulatory compliance to mitigate TCPA risk and ensure safe engagement.

• White Label Ready: Can be fully branded and deployed under the dealer's own name.

Revenue Model & Launch Offer

Trade Agent AI launches this weekend with a dealer setup fee of $495 and a monthly SaaS license of $2,995. The first 50 dealers to onboard will receive exclusive Founder's Pricing at $1,495/month with no long-term commitment.

The platform is designed to operate with minimal human involvement, allowing dealer groups of all sizes to scale their used car acquisition without expanding their BDC.

Maximizing Dealer ROI

According to internal benchmarks and NADA data, dealership customers with trade-ins generate $2,000–$3,000 more in gross profit than conquest customers — and outreach to an existing database sees up to 10x higher response rates.

Trade Agent AI capitalizes on this by automating the high-ROI channel that most dealers are underutilizing.
