Shoot us a Text.

12 days until Christmas, and today we’ve got Todd Caputo joining the show to discuss the Tekion lawsuit against CDK, how to make the most out of the last 2 weeks and GPT’s latest update that gives it vision.

Show Notes with links:

• The battle over dealership data is heating up as Tekion files a federal antitrust lawsuit against CDK Global, claiming anti-competitive practices. CDK, however, is firing back, labeling the lawsuit as retaliatory and lacking merit.
  • Tekion’s lawsuit accuses CDK of abusing its control over dealership data to stifle competition in the DMS market.
  • CDK claims the suit is retaliation for a cease-and-desist letter regarding Tekion’s “unauthorized access” to CDK’s systems.
  • A spokesperson for CDK called the lawsuit a “marketing stunt” and emphasized its history of facilitating dealer and vendor data transfers.
  • Tekion cited CDK’s initial refusal to share data with Asbury Automotive Group as an example of anticompetitive behavior.
  • A court ruled in October that CDK must provide Asbury with data for its pilot of Tekion’s system, following delays by CDK.

• ChatGPT can see. OpenAI introduced live video input and screen-sharing capabilities for ChatGPT during its Day 6 live stream event.
  • Users can now analyze and discuss visual contexts in real time through a new video icon in the mobile app.
  • The update is available to Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers, with Enterprise and Edu users gaining access in January.
  • A new festive voice option lets users chat with Santa, available as a seasonal feature until early January.
  • As this upgrade fulfills OpenAI’s promise of visual understanding, further solidifying the shift towards conversational AI with advanced vision capabilities.OpenAI CEO commented: “This brings ChatGPT closer to true multimodal interaction.”
