Ridekick

Ridekick is an AI agent that gets car buyers real out-the-door prices, in writing, from local dealerships. Buying a car is one of the largest purchases most people make, and the process is built to keep the buyer at a disadvantage: advertised prices that are not real prices, fees disclosed only at the desk after hours of back and forth, and a lead-generation model that sells a shopper's contact details to several dealerships at once, each of them trained that whoever makes contact first wins the deal.

Ridekick removes all of it. Its agent contacts dealerships on the buyer's behalf over email and SMS, using Ridekick-owned phone numbers and email addresses, so the buyer's information never reaches a dealer and no salesperson ever calls. Every fee comes back itemized in a single out-the-door number, in writing, before the buyer speaks to anyone. What used to cost a wasted afternoon now takes one click, and what is left for the buyer is the part worth doing: comparing real offers and driving the cars they love.

The service is free to buyers, and dealerships subscribe to reach buyers who have already agreed a price. By replacing an adversarial, information-asymmetric process with an agent working for the buyer, Ridekick is making car buying simple, transparent, and even fun again.
