At Cox Automotive, we're transforming our customer experience with generative and agentic AI. We are working with all frontier model providers but have anchored on Claude for its strong performance across three critical metrics: latency, cost, and accuracy. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is one of the strategic tools we're using to build AI agents that can deploy at scale, ranging from virtual assistants that improve our omnichannel dealer experience to an agentic marketplace that streamlines vehicle discovery and buying.
