Anyone installed OpenClaw at their car dealership?

I’m not a dealer, I am just genuinely curious about how OpenClaw is performing in real dealership environments.

If you’re using it:

• What are you primarily using it for?
• Has it actually improved efficiency or lead handling?
• How does it compare to traditional BDC or chat setups?
• Any limitations or surprises after going live?

Trying to understand how this plays out beyond the sales demo. Would appreciate any real-world feedback.

If you're not using it: why? have you considered it?

I do not consider it safe to use this in a corporate setting with access to corporate data.
We will get there (maybe with one of the "iron" variants), but right now it's too loose to be used outside of an isolated environment.

I could totally see it being the Inventory Photo Manager since that's data in/out.

I wouldnt recommend openclaw in a business yet.
Maybe consider using Claude Desktop instead.

We're using it, but we're running it in virtual sandboxes with no access to any external systems.

That's awesome!

What are you mainly using it for?
Has it saved you any real time/money yet?

Yeah, it is better as a personal assistant. Due to its lack of guardrails, I would be very fearful of putting it on anything that could access customer data or financial files.

We set up an inventory manager agent that adds vehicles upon purchase, including costs, pictures, and incoming details.
