Founded by Ari Polakof, Alen Polakof & Juan Alzugaray

Ari waited for 30min on hold while booking a service appointment and the idea clicked: unanswered phones are bleeding dealerships dry. That same weekend they dropped in on ten dealerships, got their initial prospect (which they signed a few days later), and decided then and there to solve it.

Ari Polakof (CEO) – Second engineer at Happyrobot (YC S23)

Juan Alzugaray (COO) – ex-Netflix data scientist who turns ops pain into product

❌ The Problem

Dealerships are trapped in a never-ending cycle that bleeds revenue:

• 60% of dealership leads arrive after business hours and most dealers can't answer
• 70% who hit voicemail contact a competitor within 30 minutes, losing the sale
• Each store loses $1M annually from those missed calls alone
• Staffed coverage is costly, inconsistent, and impossible to scale

‍

✨ Their Solution

Flai's Dealership-Tailored AI Assistants gives every dealership a tireless voice agent with three core capabilities:

• Always-On Coverage: Their AI agents answer or dial every single customer 24/7, so no inquiry or follow-up slips through the cracks
• Multi-Channel Communications: Calls, SMS, and email work together to book test-drives, service slots, and recall visits the moment customers are ready
• Dealer-Ready & Secure: Fast DMS/CRM integration, full call logs, and SOC 2 Type II compliance, built for automotive retail from day one

Dealers switch it on in an afternoon and instantly reach 100% call coverage with zero wait time.

‍

🛠️ Why Now?

The pain and the cure have finally converged.

• There's a phone-lead crisis unfolding: 50% of inbound calls never reach a rep, and dealerships leak $1M+ annually from poor phone coverage
• Multiple breakthroughs in voice AI: Agents have reached human-level fluency this year. The technology is finally ready
