Service booking agent
Takes the registration, pulls the vehicle and service history, offers real slots from the workshop diary, confirms the courtesy car, and writes the booking straight into the DMS. English and Arabic.

AI for automotive & dealerships in Abu Dhabi
For a dealership or service centre in Abu Dhabi, two leaks cost the most: the service line that rings out after hours, and the web enquiry about a specific vehicle that goes cold before anyone calls back. Abu Dhabi pairs a large government and enterprise base with a growing private sector. Buyers here tend to run longer procurement and expect governance to be in order before they commit — which rewards a supplier who leads with controls, not just capability.
The local picture
What we design around in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi pairs a large government and enterprise base with a growing private sector. Buyers here tend to run longer procurement and expect governance to be in order before they commit — which rewards a supplier who leads with controls, not just capability.
Abu Dhabi's economy is government- and energy-anchored, and ADGM runs its own data-protection regime distinct from the federal PDPL, so which rules bind you depends on where you are registered. Hub71 is pulling in a fast-growing technology base, and health providers answer to the Department of Health (DoH, formerly HAAD).
Regulation. Healthcare is regulated by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH, formerly HAAD); onshore firms fall under the federal PDPL, and ADGM-registered entities under the ADGM data-protection regime.
Language. English and Arabic both run deep in Abu Dhabi's customer base, and Emirati customers in particular value being dealt with fluently in Arabic.
What we would build
For automotive & dealerships in Abu Dhabi
After-hours sales agent
Answers the sales line outside opening hours, qualifies against actual stock, captures budget, part-exchange and finance intent, and books the test drive into the salesperson's diary for the next morning.
Job-status line
Answers "is my car ready" from live DMS status without touching a service advisor, and proactively texts the customer when the job moves to ready.
Lead triage and follow-up
Every web, portal and WhatsApp enquiry captured in one pipeline, scored, and followed up automatically until a human takes it or the customer opts out.
Where the money goes
The leaks we find
-
The service line is a bottleneck, not a channel
Booking a service is a five-question conversation: registration, mileage, symptom, courtesy car, preferred day. It does not need a person, but it consumes one — and while that person is on the phone, the customer standing at the desk waits.
-
Test-drive enquiries decay by the hour
A buyer who enquires about a specific vehicle is in-market that week, often that day. The gap between enquiry and first contact is the single biggest determinant of whether you get the appointment, and most dealer groups measure it in hours rather than minutes.
-
Arabic-speaking customers get an inconsistent experience
In the Gulf, whether a caller gets served well in Arabic frequently depends on who is on shift. That is a service inconsistency your competitors are increasingly solving.
-
Parts and status calls crowd out selling
"Is my car ready?" is the highest-volume, lowest-value call a service department takes. It is also the easiest to answer from the DMS automatically.

Automotive & dealerships in Abu Dhabi: your questions
Do you work with automotive & dealerships in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Altus is based in Dubai and delivers across the GCC, including Abu Dhabi. We build and run voice and chat agents, put AI governance in place, and automate the repetitive work — scoped to your systems and to how business is done in Abu Dhabi.
What is specific about deploying AI in Abu Dhabi?
Abu Dhabi's economy is government- and energy-anchored, and ADGM runs its own data-protection regime distinct from the federal PDPL, so which rules bind you depends on where you are registered. Hub71 is pulling in a fast-growing technology base, and health providers answer to the Department of Health (DoH, formerly HAAD). We design around Abu Dhabi's regulation and language reality from the first call rather than retrofitting it later.
Will customers know they are talking to an AI?
Yes — the agent identifies itself. In our experience customers mind far less about talking to an AI than about waiting on hold or leaving a voicemail nobody returns. Trying to disguise it is both unnecessary and, in several jurisdictions, a compliance risk.
What happens when it does not know the answer?
It says so and hands to a person, with the full conversation attached so the customer does not repeat themselves. We design the handover before we design the conversation.
Do we need to replace our DMS?
No. We build around what you run. If a specific integration is not viable we will tell you in week one and design the workflow to avoid it, rather than proposing a system replacement.
How does this work for a group with several franchises?
One agent per brand and per line, sharing infrastructure. Manufacturer rules and tone differ by franchise, so the guardrails do too — but the build cost per additional site drops sharply after the first.
