AutoGrab Launches AutoMate: AI-Powered Virtual Assistant Transforming Automotive Intelligence

Melbourne, Australia

4 June 2025

AutoGrab, Australia’s leading automotive intelligence platform, has unveiled AutoMate, a groundbreaking AI-powered virtual assistant designed to revolutionise how dealerships access, understand, and act on vehicle data.

Dubbed “ChatGPT for cars,” AutoMate enables users to ask natural language questions and quickly receive actionable insights drawn from Australia’s most comprehensive automotive intelligence platform.

The tool is set to roll out to AutoGrab’s customers this week.

AutoMate Capabilities:
AutoMate can answer complex, data-driven questions such as:

  • “Show me under 30-day supply vehicles in Victoria”
  • “Which 2023 SUVs are undervalued?”
  • “What will a 2023 Ford Ranger be worth in five years?”

In addition to surfacing market insights, AutoMate can draft advertising copy for online listings, suggest follow-up queries, and provide guidance on stock management, pricing, and customer trade-ins. The tool was developed to make AutoGrab’s deep intelligence platform more accessible, regardless of a user’s technical expertise.

Saxon Odgers, Chief Commercial Officer at AutoGrab, said:

“AutoMate helps dealers better manage inventory, streamline decision-making, and uncover market trends. It even empowers them to have more informed conversations with customers about their vehicle’s value and the competitive landscape.”

AutoMate provides dealerships with the ability to:

  • Understand retail and wholesale trends
  • Set realistic customer expectations around trade-ins
  • Improve lead conversion by educating consumers on private vs dealer sale dynamics

Looking ahead, AutoMate will evolve to deliver proactive alerts, automated recommendations, and scheduling tools such as pricing reviews and inventory updates. In future iterations, AutoMate will also initiate changes like adjusting listings or creating hotlists automatically. The first release of AutoMate also paves the way for future integration with AutoGrab’s broader product offerings to the insurance and finance sectors.  

“AutoMate marks a leap forward in equipping dealers with intelligent, conversational tools that turn data into action,” Mr Odgers added.
