AI Sellers Outperform Humans 2.1x — and Tripled NPS

Angela raises one of the most persistent objections to agentic AI: customers won't buy expensive, high-stakes products from a bot. Kavak is empirically disproving this. Alejandro explains that Kavak never built customer service agents — it built sales agents. Buying a car in Latin America involves navigating up to 20,000 SKUs, financing structures, insurance options, and a trade-in valuation — a process that previously required speaking with 15 separate human experts. Kavak's agents consolidated all of that expertise into a single interaction. The early results were already compelling — agents converted at 1.5x the human rate — but the system has since improved to 2.1x [1] — Alejandro Maza Ayala "AI sellers convert 2.1x human team: Kavak's AI sales agents now convert customers at more than 2.1 times the rate of the company's best hum…" 12:34 , while also tripling NPS. Angela then probes the even harder challenge: regulated financial services. Kavak approves car loans in under 3 minutes — versus the 2+ months typical in Mexico [2] — Alejandro Maza Ayala "Car loan approved in under 3 minutes: Kavak approves car loans in under 3 minutes, versus the 2+ months typical in Mexico and other emergin…" 14:18 — by combining deep customer data with vertical integration that allows a repossessed car to be easily exchanged for a cheaper model if the customer falls behind on payments.
Kavak's AI sales agents now convert customers at 2.1x the rate of its human team, and also tripled NPS. The agents handle everything from car recommendations to financing to trade-in quotes — a 15-skill job that no single human could match.
Kavak's Net Promoter Score and customer satisfaction score tripled after deploying AI agents as the primary customer-facing interface.
Kavak's AI sales agents now convert customers at more than 2.1 times the rate of the company's best human salespeople.
Kavak approves car loans in under 3 minutes, versus the 2+ months typical in Mexico and other emerging markets.
Kavak carved out a city in Mexico, gave an AI agent the CEO role, and watched it raise profits by 50% in its first month. The agent sent daily task plans to every physical worker, monitored KPIs in real time, and micromanaged inventory, financing, and customer satisfaction simultaneously.
