Covideo, an Indianapolis-based software company specializing in video messaging for automotive dealerships, unveiled a new suite of AI-powered video capabilities at NADA Show 2026 in Las Vegas.

Covideo has long led the market in personalized video for automotive lead response, a channel that has evolved from niche to essential in buyer engagement. With video now a standard expectation, dealerships face pressure to deliver timely, high-quality content amid busy operations and variable conditions.
VIN Reels pulls real-time inventory data and photos to produce polished, feature-focused videos automatically, highlighting key vehicle attributes in a professional format ready for immediate customer delivery. This accelerates response times and maintains visual consistency across large inventories.
The AI Video Agent functions as an on-demand virtual spokesperson, generating personalized replies to customer inquiries or broadcasting dealership-wide messages such as new arrivals or special offers. Its lifelike avatar format supports scalable personalization without requiring additional staff resources.
"For more than 20 years, Covideo has been building technology alongside real dealerships, grounded in how sales actually happen," said Covideo CEO Craig Zeutzius. "This new generation of AI solutions represent a major step forward in our platform—combining that deep industry expertise with cutting-edge AI to help dealers engage car buyers faster, personalize at scale, and drive measurable revenue impact."
"When Covideo started creating video solutions in 2004, using video for dealership lead response was almost unheard of," said Zeutzius. "Now, video is an expectation and a necessity. While human-created videos remain the gold standard, our new AI solutions help busy dealerships achieve speed, consistency, and polish in their outreach."
The AI features integrate seamlessly into Covideo's existing platform, which includes CRM compatibility, tracking analytics, and automotive-specific workflows. Dealers maintain oversight, ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces human touchpoints, particularly for high-value interactions.
Founded in 2004, Covideo serves over 3,500 dealerships in the US and Canada, focusing on trust-building, faster sales cycles, and higher response rates through personalized video messaging.
