Nine months after launching in October, Lokam.ai said it is growing 45% month-over-month with zero customer churn.

And charged with sustaining that momentum is industry veteran Jason Kozak, who was hired on Thursday as sales director for the voice-first artificial intelligence platform designed help car dealerships with sales and service follow-up.

The momentum also follows the company’s $350,000 funding round announced earlier this year, led by customer-turned-investor Scott Falcone, who is owner of World Kia Joliet and World Hyundai Matteson and invested after seeing the platform’s results firsthand.

“I’ve been running Lokam.ai in both my stores for a stretch now. Our Google ratings moved from 4.0 and 4.1 to 4.8 across World Kia Joliet and World Hyundai Matteson,” Falcone said in a news release. “On the sales side, we’re selling an additional 15 vehicles a month from unsold traffic the AI is calling back. The numbers are real, and I’m watching them in real time at my own stores.”

Falcone’s experiences aren’t the only recently success stories for Lokam.ai, which has also signed other new dealership clients, including Prestige Kia and Joseph Airport Hyundai.

In its first 21 days working with Prestige Kia, Lokam.ai said its autonomous voice agents re-engaged 110 unsold showroom prospects, achieving approximately an 80% call completion rate and a 66% contact rate. The outreach escalated 27 qualified leads to the dealership’s sales team, resulting in four closed deals that would have otherwise been lost and $20,320 in added gross profit, the fastest return on investment Lokam.ai has recorded to date.

Lokam.ai said Prestige Kia also is on track to sell 10 additional vehicles from unsold traffic next month, projected to add more than $40,000 in gross.

Meanwhile, Joseph Airport Hyundai is part of the Joseph Auto Group, which is among Cincinnati’s leading automotive retailers with 18 dealership rooftops representing Audi, Acura, Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Porsche, Infiniti, GMC, Subaru, Hyundai, and Volkswagen.

Through the partnership, Lokam.ai said it will systematically re-engage every unsold showroom lead to help bring customers back and close, while its voice agents follow up with every customer after service, escalate dissatisfied customers to management instantly, and automatically request Google reviews from promoters, driving more revenue from customers the dealerships have already paid to acquire.

“The proof is in the numbers,” Lokam.ai founder and CEO Muhammed Saleeq said. “Dealerships generate enormous demand, but follow-up is where revenue quietly slips away. When a brand-new client adds more than $20,000 in gross profit in three weeks simply by re-engaging the traffic they already had, it validates everything we built this platform to do.

“Every dollar of that growth came from opportunities the dealership had already paid to acquire. We are just making sure none of it gets left on the table,” Saleeq continuing.

Relaying those success stories also likely will be part of what’s being done by Kozak as Lokam.ai sales director.

Lokam.ai highlighted Kozak brings deep experience across both the retail and vendor sides of the automotive industry, including roles with West Herr Automotive Group, Greenway Automotive Group, AAA National, Streamline Automotive Solutions, and TrueCar.

“What sets Lokam.ai apart from every other AI company in this space is that we are not here to replace the workforce; we are here to complement it,” Kozak said. “Lokam.ai solves two major operational pain points every dealer feels: showroom visitors who leave and never hear from the store again, and service repair orders that go without follow-up.

“Dealerships understand that the lifeblood of survival is the service experience, and Lokam.ai lets their teams stay customer-facing while the AI handles the follow-up that too often falls through the cracks. That is one of the many reasons why I am excited to join this team,” Kozak went on to say.

Kozak’s arrival came after QoreAI, the unified data infrastructure platform for automotive retail, announced in June that Lokam.ai was the first agentic AI application to operate natively on its platform.

The partnership allows dealers to activate Lokam.ai’s autonomous voice agents against their existing unified data, with no separate integration or secondary data pipeline required.

Lokam.ai’s agents read from the same clean customer record QoreAI assembles from the dealer’s DMS and CRM, and the intelligence they generate, including customer satisfaction index trends, customer objections, and re-engagement outcomes, writes back into the platform for every other connected tool to use.

The combined solution is compatible with Dealertrack, DealerVault, CDK, and Authenticom.
