Help your customers get clear answers to compare models, understand features, and find the right vehicle with an AI chatbot that listens and responds through video.
Provide a service that keeps customers coming back
LemonSlice's automotive chatbot platform surpasses traditional AI chatbots. It puts an interactive video agent on your website. Customers type or speak questions and receive video responses, as the LemonSlice AI guides them through the sales or service process.
- 24/7 sales and service support: Give instant video answers to questions about vehicle specs, financing options, and service appointments—anytime. All responses come directly from your business's own knowledge base.
- Interactive vehicle showcases: Present virtual vehicle walkarounds, explain complex features, and demonstrate technology with interactive video. This format outperforms simple text chatbots for customer education and trust.
- Personalized support at scale: Manage multiple customer conversations at once. This reduces your team's workload and still gives each person a personalized experience.
Customize your AI chatbot for automotive
Upload a photo and watch LemonSlice AI bring it to life with natural expressions, realistic gestures, and lip-sync. Choose a photorealistic image, a cartoon, or an object—or create an original avatar from a simple AI prompt. Build a consistent brand spokesperson that guides customers across every interaction, in any language.
Define a voice for your brand
Choose from an expressive library of AI voices across 100+ languages and accents, or create your custom voice. You can even clone your own voice with a quick recording, and Lemon Slice replicates your tone and pacing for authentic audio that improves the experience for your audience.

Create an automotive AI chatbot in three steps
Step 1: Customize your agent
Select a photo to define the appearance of your automotive AI chatbot. You can upload or generate one directly within Lemon Slice. The photo can be photorealistic, cartoons, or even animals and inanimate objects. If it has a face, Lemon Slice can bring it to life.
Step 2: Set up your knowledge base
Upload your sales scripts, vehicle specifications, financing guides, and other approved content. The LemonSlice AI uses this knowledge base to answer questions accurately and on-brand. You control exactly what information goes in, so responses align with your sales processes and dealership policies.
Step 3: Add the widget to your website
Add the Lemon Slice widget to your website with a simple embed code. No technical skills required. Once live, your AI chatbot greets visitors and helps them find the right vehicle. It works on any website, including Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, and Square.

Common challenges for an AI chatbot in automotive
Many businesses in the automotive space hesitate to adopt an AI chatbot at scale. Concerns about data privacy and the potential loss of the human connection with their audience are valid. Fortunately, these are problems with clear solutions.
Challenge: Data privacy and security
Automotive customers trust businesses with their personal information. Some businesses worry that the addition of an AI chatbot exposes this data to fraud or leaks. Protection for sensitive user data is a legitimate concern.
Solution: Data security and privacy
LemonSlice puts security first with robust safeguards and secure data protocols built into every stage of the conversation. Businesses in the automotive sector can deploy an AI chatbot with confidence, as all user interactions and personal data remain protected. To further protect privacy, LemonSlice AI never uses customer data to train its models.
Challenge #2: Personal service
Many automotive businesses built their success and reputation on the quality of the personal service they provide. They may worry that an AI chatbot will remove the human touch their customers appreciate. The concern has merit, as some people simply prefer to speak with a person for certain matters.
Solution: Staff and AI work together
Some customers want to speak with a person, while others just want an immediate answer. In the automotive space, LemonSlice AI and your team collaborate to create an experience that meets both expectations. The AI chatbot handles routine questions, so your staff can focus on more complex, high-value customer interactions. The LemonSlice AI is designed to work alongside your team, not replace them.

What is LemonSlice's automotive AI chatbot and how does it work for a dealership?
LemonSlice's automotive AI chatbots are interactive agents that engage users through real-time video. They use a single uploaded image of any character (photorealistic, cartoon, or an object with a face) or a simple prompt to create a live AI chatbot you can embed directly on your website.
For what kinds of interactive experiences can we use an automotive AI chatbot?
LemonSlice's automotive AI chatbots are for interactive visual engagement. Examples include:
- Live virtual assistants or brand ambassadors on your website
- Conversational touchpoints that users can talk to in real time
- Expressive, responsive characters that enhance user interaction
Because the technology generates video in real time, it is more immersive than static content or text-only AI chatbots.
What is the LemonSlice API, and how can our developers use it for integration?
The LemonSlice API lets developers programmatically create, launch, and manage real-time AI chatbots inside their own systems or workflows. It gives you more control than a simple embed and enables deeper integration with your systems.
With the LemonSlice API, you can:
- Create and manage live AI chatbot sessions through REST endpoints
- Embed agents into custom frontend experiences via a JavaScript SDK
- Control when agents start, stop, and how users interact with them
- Receive real-time events such as agent readiness, visual updates, and errors
This makes it possible to build fully customized interactive video experiences that feel native to your product. View the full API documentation for implementation details and examples.
Do I need special technical skills to integrate a LemonSlice AI chatbot on my website?
No, basic integration is simple. You can add an AI chatbot widget to your website with an embed code snippet for platforms like Webflow, Shopify, Square, WordPress, Wix, or any website that supports custom HTML. For deeper customization, backend workflows, or advanced control that includes API use, it is best to work with a developer.
Can I choose the large language models (LLMs) that my automotive AI chatbot uses?
Yes. All price plans include access to premium LLMs that power your AI chatbots. These include models from multiple providers such as OpenAI (for example, GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Claude Haiku 4.5), and Google (for example, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite), as well as support for custom LLMs.
How does the pricing for LemonSlice's automotive AI chatbots work for my business?
All LemonSlice plans include:
- Unlimited AI chatbots
