Our Story

Flai was born from an observation: dealerships are losing revenue to missed calls and after-hours inquiries. While the rest of the world moved to 24/7 digital experiences, car dealers are still limited by business hours. Notifying customers of recalls takes days, and scheduling service appointments is a nightmare for customers. It should not be like this.

Our founders used their expertise in AI to create a solution that doesn't replace your sales team, it empowers it. We built AI that feels natural, helpful, and genuinely caring, working around the clock to capture and nurture every lead.

Today, we're backed by Y Combinator and trusted by dealerships nationwide.

Our goal remains simple: bring more customers to your dealership.
