We’re stepping into new territory—and we’re not doing it alone.

In this episode, we officially announce the launch of a new documentary-style podcast series that will follow the real-world rollout of White Hat Way’s “Early Warning" AI subscription service. This isn’t theory or a lab test. Dealers are already stepping forward, opening their operations, and allowing the industry to watch what happens when agentic AI is deployed with a clear purpose: improving customer retention in BHPH and LHPH.

But pioneering in this way works best when it’s collaborative. Even better when it's transparent.

Today, we’re extending the invitation to the DMS providers of the enrolled dealers since they sit at the center of the data. As Early Warning AI goes to market, it will do so publicly - successes, snags, real stories.

Today, we’ll lay out:

What “Early Warning AI” actually is—and what it is not
Why customer retention is the proving ground for this technology
How participating dealers are approaching the rollout
Where DMS providers fit into the equation (and why their role matters)
What this documentary series will capture as the story unfolds

There’s no established playbook here. Just a shared belief that when we get this right, the result won’t just be better technology—it will be better outcomes for dealers and the customers they serve.

This is the starting line. Join us.
