Caroogo Voice Assistant — An Industry First

No other automotive CRM has hands-free AI voice control built-in

Caroogo is the only automotive CRM with a fully integrated AI Voice Assistant. Sales staff can search customers, find deals, schedule appointments, create tasks, and get AI-generated deal insights — all hands-free, without touching a screen. Say "Hey Caroogo" on Android/Desktop or use a Siri Shortcut on iPhone to activate instantly.

Voice Command Examples

  • "Find John Smith" — instant customer/deal lookup
  • "Show my appointments today" — your schedule hands-free
  • "Schedule appointment for tomorrow at 10am" — creates it
  • "Add a note: customer interested in F-150" — logs instantly
  • "Show inventory under 30,000 dollars" — filtered search
  • "Create task: follow up with Maria Cruz" — auto-assigns

AI Voice Intelligence

  • "Summarize deal 1042" — AI reads your deal back to you
  • "Draft follow-up email for this customer" — AI writes it
  • "What's my close rate this month?" — instant analytics
  • "Which deals need follow-up today?" — AI prioritization
  • "Coaching tip for this deal" — live AI sales coaching
  • "Best approach for this customer?" — AI recommendations
🤖
Android & Desktop
Say "Hey Caroogo" — Chrome's continuous wake-word listener activates the mic automatically. Works anywhere in the app.
🍎
iPhone / iOS
Set up a Siri Shortcut: say "Hey Siri, Caroogo" to instantly open the assistant with auto-start recording.

No other CRM includes this
Email in Every Deal

Outlook Calendar Sync
Appointments created in Caroogo sync to Outlook Calendar via Microsoft Graph API. Two-way sync keeps schedules aligned.
