Automotive Dealer Day 2026: our recap from Smilenet stand 74

Automotive Dealer Day 2026 is over, but the journey continues. At our stand 74, shared with Smilenet, we presented a complete automotive ecosystem - Phoenix, MIA, CarTake and ADV - and officially launched MIA 2.0, the new version of our multichannel AI agent.

Automotive Dealer Day 2026 has wrapped up, but the journey we told at the fair continues. For three days, at our stand 74 in Verona - shared with Smilenet - we welcomed dealers, automotive groups and partners to show live an ecosystem that brings together all the work done over these years: Phoenix, MIA, CarTake and ADV. A shared space where different products speak to the same vision, and where we saw AI applied to automotive digital retailing work on real cases.

"An automotive ecosystem that truly tells the whole journey: Phoenix, MIA, CarTake and ADV."

Stand 74: one ecosystem, one direction

Sharing the stand with Smilenet let us show a single ecosystem, where our AI products and the website platform work side by side. Two different evolutions, one direction: make artificial intelligence more concrete, more integrated and more useful in dealers' daily processes. MIA and CarTake at the center, with Phoenix as the website platform that connects website, stock, leads and content.

  • Phoenix: the Smilenet website platform for digital retailing, with website, stock, leads and automations in one ecosystem.
  • MIA: the vertical AI agent for dealers across web, WhatsApp and voice, to qualify leads and bring only ready opportunities to the team.
  • CarTake: the AI visual suite for stock, from guided shooting to post-production and the digital showroom.
  • ADV: the advertising and marketing layer to give continuity to the work on leads and content.

MIA 2.0: the new version of our multichannel agent

The most anticipated moment came at 11:30 AM: we officially presented MIA 2.0, the new version of our multichannel AI agent for web, WhatsApp and voice. A dashboard revolutionized by AI, improved UX and relevant results in just a few seconds. MIA 2.0 makes work on leads and conversations faster and more precise, with an experience designed for those who handle requests across multiple channels every day.

CarTake: 2026 news for visual stock

Alongside MIA, we showed the latest from CarTake: Photo, Studio and Video to turn stock into content ready for website, portals and campaigns in just a few seconds. A proprietary AI, trained on the automotive world, that brings visual quality and consistency across the whole inventory, layout rules included.

A visual recap of the three days at stand 74: the team, the live demos of MIA and CarTake and the Smilenet Lounge Night with Friends of NADA.

The conversation that started at the fair continued outside the stand too. At the Smilenet Lounge Night, in the heart of Verona, we met with Friends of NADA for an evening of spritz, food, music and an authentic setting: innovation, digital retailing, new technologies and the future of automotive, lived as a community before being products.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by stand 74, tried MIA 2.0 and CarTake and shared their real case with us. Dealer Day 2026 confirms one thing: AI for dealers is not an abstract promise, but a concrete ecosystem that works every day on leads, stock and content. And this is only the beginning.
