About Clearline

We're building the digital workforce for dealerships

Customer experience in dealerships is broken, not because teams don't care, but because the tools were never built for how people reach out today. Clearline is the AI-native system that answers, follows up, and keeps every team moving.

Our story

Why we built Clearline

Customer experience in dealerships is broken.

Not because teams don’t care, but because the system they’re working in was never built for how customers behave today. Calls come in after hours. Conversations span sales and service. Follow-ups get missed. Context gets lost. And too often, revenue disappears quietly without anyone realizing it.

For decades, dealerships have tried to solve this with more tools, more staff, and more process. Phones, BDCs, CRMs, spreadsheets, reminders. Each one added to fix a problem, none designed to work together. The result is fragmentation. Customers repeat themselves. Teams chase tasks. Managers lack a clear picture of what’s actually happening.

Meanwhile, customer expectations have changed.

People expect immediate responses, consistent experiences, and simple outcomes. They don’t care which department they reached. They don’t leave voicemails. And they don’t wait. When a dealership misses the moment, customers move on.

We built Clearline because this model no longer works.

Clearline is an AI-native operating system for dealerships. It captures every customer interaction, understands intent, and takes action across sales and service — automatically and under your control. It answers when your team can’t. It follows up when people forget. And it centralizes customer experience and revenue impact into one system, instead of scattering it across tools and teams.

This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about removing the friction that holds great teams back.

If you believe customer experience in dealerships needs to change, we’re building for you.

What we believe

The principles behind how we work

Start with the customer's moment

Every missed call and dropped follow-up is a person who needed something. We build for that moment first, and let the metrics follow.

Own the outcome, not the task

We don't ship features and hope. We're accountable for whether dealerships actually capture the revenue they were losing.

Keep shipping

Automotive moves fast and so do we. Small, sharp releases beat big reveals. Progress you can feel every week.

Earn trust, then automate

AI acts on a dealership's behalf, so control and transparency are not optional. We make it obvious what Luna did and why.

The team

A small team, moving fast

We're a tight group of engineers and operators who care about the craft and the customer in equal measure. We ship quickly, stay close to dealerships, and keep the bar high.
