BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GoTo, the leader in cloud communications and IT, today launched new AI-powered scheduling capabilities for car dealerships within GoTo Connect AI Receptionist. GoTo Connect is now the only communications platform with an offering custom-built for automotive dealerships that includes automated scheduling powered by advanced conversational AI.
