We started with visual merchandising, expanded into conversational AI, and are now putting AI agents across the dealership so dealers move inventory faster, respond to buyers instantly and run more of their operation with AI. Founded by operators from Amazon, Cox and OYO, Spyne has grown 30x in under 3 years and powers 1,500+ dealerships across the US. We're backed by Accel, Vertex Ventures and Storm Ventures.\nWhat we're building:\n Studio AI (Visual Agents): turns a smartphone capture into a complete, publish-ready listing, so cars reach the website faster.\n Vini AI (Conversational Agents): answers every call, chat and text across sales and service, and writes outcomes back into the dealer's DMS and CRM. We’re building a family of agents for recall, receptionist, reputation, acquisition, sales and service, built for dealers to try and turn on themselves.\nAI Contact Service: Vini at the core with a human BDC team around it, delivering the outcomes dealers expect from an in-house BDC.\n DealerOS: the layer that brings it all together. It sits above the dealer's existing software (DMS, CRM, inventory, website, service) and runs agents across the vehicle journey, from sourcing to sale to service.\nSpyne is emerging as one of the category leaders redefining how dealerships operate in the AI era.
