The team just got back from ASOTU CON 2025, and the key takeaway is clear: Dealerships aren’t looking for flashy, new-fangled AI, they’re looking for thoughtful ways to implement AI without disrupting their current workflow and frustrating their customers. Toma took home the Pitch Tank title on Day 1 by showing exactly that. In our latest blog recap, we break down: - What resonated most at ASOTU CON - Where the AI conversation is falling short - How dealerships can move from pilot to performance - What resolution rate tells you about AI’s true value Check out the recap below 👇 #ASOTUCON #DealershipAI #AIAgents #AIVoiceAgent #AutomotiveRetail #Toma

Pitch Tank at ASOTU CON was a success! There's nothing like battling it out for great automotive technology on a live stage. Congratulations to this year's winner, Toma! And huge thank you to the collaborator who made it possible, The Shop by FordDirect. To all participants brave enough to stand on stage and share your passion, we thank you. Hope to see you again next year for another amazing pitch tank with companies and tech that are changing the auto industry as we know it. #asotucon #automotive #pitchtank #autoindustry #autoretail Beth Hill

Toma Team Spotlight - Vol. 7 🚀 🎮 Introducing our engineering team's polymath and bedrock, Navid Kabir! 👽☕️ Navid joined us from Curri in March and roared out of the gate. He got us SOC 2 pending in mere weeks, built numerous new products and integrations, and established processes to unlock huge enterprise deals. When he's not helping us become the best automotive AI company in the world, he's got quite the assortment of hobbies. From running a game development studio (check out ngon (dot) gg), to 3D printing, to making some insane lattes, to making music, to taking care of his new dog, Rye, Navid's got his hands quite full. Thrilled to be working with you, Navid! 🏎️💨 --- Want to work with us? We are on track to hire 9 more SF-based and remote roles in 2025, and have a fun offsite planned in June! Check out our jobs link below.

We came, we saw, and we conquered ASOTU CON as the Pitch Tank Champions! Two rounds. Three minutes per pitch. Competing against other AI tools. We were grilled with the same questions we’ve been asked from day one: - Can your AI agent handle edge cases that derail every other product? - What happens when the customer swears or says something out of pocket? - How do you tailor it to my dealership? The answer? We don’t ship bots. We train AI agents like your best service advisor—and use reinforcement learning to make them smarter every single day. Toma adapts to each store’s quirks, voice, and process, and integrates into the systems you already use. Ready to see what Toma can do you for your dealership? #ASOTUCON #VoiceAI #DealershipAI #AutomotiveInnovation #TomaAI #PitchTankChampion

We don’t build software in a box. We build it in the wild. That means dealerships. Trade shows. Conventions. Service desks in Oklahoma. Showrooms in St. Augustine. Because when you're building AI agents that interact directly with customers, there's only one way to learn the ropes: on-site, on the floor. “How do your market’s customers talk on the phone?” “What do service advisors deal with on a day-to-day basis?” “What does a 'qualified lead' mean to a sales manager, not just a dashboard?” You can’t answer those questions from behind a whiteboard or a coding terminal. You answer them from behind a service counter at 9 am on a Saturday. At Toma, our engineers don't just ship code. They field test. They interview. They shadow, observe, and listen. That’s how we build products that move the needle—products that get adopted, loved, and relied upon. So if you’re the kind of builder who wants to escape the “inside-the-box” box and solve problems that alter entire industries, come join us at Toma.

Go team!
Not working? Maybe you have a better idea of how it should be done? At Toma the CTO flies in to your dealership’s service drive and gets it done. This is how much we care about our customers and how fast we move. No BS. Anthony Krivonos at Boulder Nissan

Toma Team Spotlight - Vol. 6 🚀 🤖 Introducing our newest intern, Gautham Venkateshwaran! 🏸🧠 Gautham just completed his last final exam at UBC, joined our team standup, and pushed out several PRs. Like an '03 Honda Civic, his brakes don't seem to work. As a Founding Engineer Intern, he'll work with our engineering team to build copilots for several roles at the dealership, from service to sales. Gautham will be joining us in SF on a J-1 (we love sponsoring!) for the summer. When he's not shipping, he's leading Canada's most cracked robotics team with Sai Surisetti, playing badminton, and being a learning machine. Excited to have you, Gautham! 🎉 --- Want to work with us? We are on track to hire 10 more roles this year and will have more internship openings soon! Check out our jobs link below.
