Cars24 Automates 1 Million Monthly Conversation Minutes With OpenAI, Expanding AI Tools to 600 Employees
3 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Jul 16
Summary
Cars24 now handles more than 1 million conversation minutes a month through OpenAI-powered voice and chat agents that guide buyers and sellers from discovery and financing to follow-ups and after-sales support.
The rollout targets India’s fragmented, conversation-heavy used-car market, where transactions often stretch across calls, document checks and repeated follow-ups rather than a single app session.
Inside the company, ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex have been deployed to about 600 central-organization employees, with daily active usage at 85% to 90%.
Codex has been embedded into product, engineering and finance workflows—covering ticket creation, bug handling, reporting and purchase-order reviews—as Cars24 shifts staff toward building their own AI tools instead of waiting for centralized engineering support.
The push positions AI as both a customer-engagement layer and an operating layer for Cars24’s businesses in India, the UAE and Australia, aimed at scaling service without matching headcount growth.
