# 24-month roadmap **Vamo** — Kiosk + AI advisor on WhatsApp that greets, quotes, books test drives, verifies identity and builds the customer's loan application at the dealership.
## Next 8 weeks (before asking for money) What YC recommends doing first: talk to users, charge early and get 10 customers who actually use the product. - Get a letter or email from the dealer group. - Measure scans, conversations, test drives and credit applications in the pilot. - Charge the 3 branches. - Talk to 10 dealership managers from other brands. Milestones tied to the use of funds. Each quarter has a deliverable the investor can verify. ## Months 1–6: Pilot to contract - Ford/Lincoln pilot metrics - Convert 3 locations to contract - 15 kiosks installed ## Months 7–12: Group and brand - Program with the brand - Integration with 2 banks - 30 kiosks ## Months 13–18: Multi-brand - Second and third brand - Used-car module - 45 kiosks ## Months 19–24: Scale - ~60 kiosks - First client outside Mexico - Break-even ## Features that answer competitors' customer complaints Taken from 09_Competencia_y_Quejas: what customers complain about with competitors that we do not fully cover yet. ### Months 1–6 - **Real-time inventory (per-unit availability)** (partial, high): Today it knows catalog, prices and promos; per-unit/VIN stock is not yet connected to confirm availability, a frequent complaint with dealer chat. - **AI guardrails: official price list only, no binding commitments, anti-manipulation and audit** (partial, high): The advisor uses the dealer catalog, but no prompt-injection testing or auditable log is documented; key to selling to the OEM. - **Escalation to salesperson with reliable alerts and SLA** (partial, high): Human handoff and inbox exist; missing multichannel alerts with read receipts, reassignment when nobody picks up and time-to-pickup metrics. - **Automated post-visit and missing-document follow-up** (partial, medium): WhatsApp follows the customer, but there are no documented sequences to re-engage cold leads or chase pending credit documents. - **Transparent contract and easy exit** (partial, medium): All-in rental with no upfront cost is an edge; the 12-month minimum should come with clear cancellation and no post-cancel billing, the top pain with Podium. ### Months 7–12 - **API integration with lenders (decision in minutes)** (partial, high): Today the application is prefilled; integration with 2 banks is on the month 7–12 roadmap. - **Connectors to existing DMS/CRM (DealerSocket, Salesforce, Intelimotor, ADF/XML export)** (partial, high): Pricing includes free DMS integration, but no connectors are built yet; dealers don't want yet another screen. - **Service continuity (degraded mode and backup providers)** (partial, medium): WhatsApp/Meta and OpenAI dependency is a known risk; kiosk fallback and published uptime monitoring are missing. - **Management dashboard and exportable group reports** (partial, medium): Stage and kiosk funnel exist; multi-store views for the group and OEM, plus export, are missing. ### Months 13–18 - **Trade-in appraisal and used-car module** (missing, medium): Kavak and Intelimotor offer valuation; the used-car module is on the month 13–18 roadmap. - **Post-sale review requests and reputation** (missing, low): Table stakes at Podium; useful for dealers but not the core pain. ## Metrics we will report every quarter - Active kiosks and dealerships - Scans and conversations per kiosk - Test drives booked - Loan files and approved loans - Attributed sales - MRR and churn
