Tekion Unveils New AI Agents and T1 Pro, Its AI Interface and Agent Orchestrator

Industry’s First AI-Native Automotive Platform Delivers AI Agents Trained on Automotive Retail and Dealership Context. Enables Dealers to Sell More, Run Smarter, and Deliver a Seamless Customer Experience

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, at Tekion One, Automotive’s premier data & AI conference, the creator of the first end-to-end, AI-native cloud platform, unveiled four new innovations as part of its Agentic AI Suite, built on the Tekion AI platform. Announced during Tekion’s inaugural event, T1 Pro, Salesperson AI, F&I Manager AI, and Accounts Payable AI are expanding Tekion’s AI portfolio across automotive retail operations.

Built on real dealership business context and trained on the full lifecycle of automotive retail, Tekion’s new AI agents act as intelligent teammates that help teams move faster, reduce manual errors, stay aligned across departments, and focus on what matters most: customers. Each agent is purpose-built for high-value dealership workflows, bringing greater context, coordination, and execution to the work happening across the business.

Together, these innovations advance Tekion’s vision for AI-native automotive retail, where workflows across the dealership are more connected, informed, and efficient. With AI supporting sales, service, and operations, dealers can increase throughput, improve profitability, and make better decisions using accurate, unified data. The result is a dealership that runs smarter, adapts faster, and frees employees to focus on higher-value customer interactions.

“AI isn’t a trend car buyers are waiting on. It’s already shaping how they shop, decide, and transact,” said Jay Vijayan, Founder and CEO of Tekion. “It is redefining automotive retail, and Tekion is building the foundation for AI-native dealerships. Every Tekion AI agent is grounded in real dealership data and context — from customer interactions and service appointments to trade-in decisions and repair orders. That real-world context is what makes our AI relevant, actionable, and uniquely valuable to dealers.”

Tekion expands its AI portfolio with new agents and intelligent workflows

The new AI innovations announced during Jay Vijayan’s keynote join Scheduler AI, Technician AI, and Service AI to accelerate dealership innovation. They include:

• T1 Pro – Tekion’s unified AI interface and agent orchestration layer within its AI-native Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) platform. It surfaces what matters, recommends next steps, and helps teams take action across dealership workflows with greater speed, alignment, and efficiency.
• Salesperson AI – Engages leads quickly with relevant responses on pricing, availability, and vehicle details, while helping sales teams drive follow-up and appointment setting. The result is faster response times, stronger engagement, and more opportunities to convert.
• F&I Manager AI – Helps F&I teams catch missing documents, incomplete checklist items, and potential compliance issues before submission, reducing funding delays and improving consistency in the deal workflow.
• Accounts Payable AI – Automates invoice processing by capturing key details, recommending coding, matching purchase orders, flagging discrepancies, and routing approvals based on dealership rules. The result is faster processing, greater visibility, and more efficient accounting operations.
