The episode concludes with insights into Auto Agentic's application of F1-inspired AI technologies to transform automotive retail operations.Key Takeaway: Formula One has evolved beyond speed—it's now about solving global mobility challenges Auto Agentic (www.autoagentic.ai) is an automotive intelligence company architecting how AI actually operates across dealership organizations. Founded in 2024, Auto Agentic was created to solve a problem no vendor was addressing: automotive didn’t lack AI tools—it lacked intelligence architecture. As features multiplied, coordination worsened, insight fragmented, and transformation stalled. Auto Agentic exists to change that. We design agentic intelligence systems that unify operations, coordinate data and workflows, and enable organizations to move from fragmented automation to connected, predictive, and self-improving intelligence. Our work is built on three foundations: • the Automotive Intelligence Pyramid • a coordinated agentic architecture of 75+ automotive-native agents • and systematic transformation partnerships Auto Agentic is SOC 2 Type II certified and trusted in regulated environments. We don’t deliver tools. We build operating intelligence. We partner with dealer groups and OEMs to architect how intelligence flows across their organizations—creating companies that coordinate rather than hand off, predict rather than react, and build advantages that compound over time.
