Every trade, priced before it pulls in.
NextKey is the trade-in app your customers open from your link. They scan the VIN, take guided photos and see a market-based estimate. You get the whole trade-in in RELAY before the car reaches your lot.

What is NextKey?
NextKey is a trade-in app for car dealerships, made by AUTONOMi and part of AUTONOMi RELAY. The customer values their car on their phone, in the dealership's own look. The dealer works every trade-in in the RELAY console.
NextKey runs on iOS and Android. On iPhone it also opens as an App Clip, straight from the dealer's link with nothing to install. Every estimate is a range from live market data, and the offer is always the dealer's decision.

How does a trade-in work in NextKey?
A few minutes on the phone. No dealership to pick, no forms to fill in at the desk.
What does the dealer get in RELAY?
RELAY is the dealer's console. Every trade-in arrives there complete, before the customer drives in.
Every trade-in, complete
Photos, the customer's answers, the estimate and the market data behind it, in one place.
Read from the photos
AI marks damage on the photos and reads tire tread, warning lights and the odometer.
The voice conversation, summed up
When the customer talks to RELAY, you get a summary of what they said.
Inbox and pipeline
A trade-in inbox and a sales pipeline with follow-ups.
A timeline per customer
Everything each customer did, in order.
Started, not sent
Follow-up lists of customers who began a trade-in and stopped.
Personal invite links
Send a customer you talked to their own link.
Push to the customer's phone

The offer is always the dealer's decision. NextKey shows an estimate. Your team makes the offer.
Can customers answer by voice?
Yes. On the condition questions, the customer can tap the answers or talk to RELAY, the voice assistant.
- RELAY speaks English and Spanish.
- Tap or talk: the customer chooses.
- The dealer gets a summary of the conversation.
Whose brand does the customer see?
Yours. NextKey takes the dealership's own look: the make's brand, or the dealer group's own theme.
The make's brand
Colors and type that match the brand the store sells.
The group's own theme
A dealer group can use its own theme instead.
One link per store
Each store's link opens NextKey in that store's look.
What stays private, and who decides?
Vehicle history stays off the phone
Vehicle history never reaches the customer's phone.
No dealership to pick
The dealer's link opens that dealership. The customer never picks one from a list.
The offer is the dealer's call
The estimate is a market-based range. The offer comes from the dealer.
Nothing to install
With App Clip, NextKey opens from the dealer's link without installing an app.
