        <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The Help Centre now covers all seven CarBuddy products. We've added dedicated guides for <strong>Outbound Campaigns</strong> and <strong>Renewals</strong>, and every product is now listed in the navigation.</p>

<ul>
<li class=""><strong><a class="" href="https://help.carbuddyai.com/products/outbound-campaigns">Outbound Campaigns</a></strong> — how to launch a targeted, multi-channel campaign to thousands of customers, what data to provide, and how to read the campaign analytics.</li>
<li class=""><strong><a class="" href="https://help.carbuddyai.com/products/renewals">Renewals</a></strong> — how CarBuddy engages customers approaching the end of their PCP, HP, or lease agreement, the outreach timing, and the agreement types we support.</li>
</ul>
<p>Both guides follow the same format as the rest of the Help Centre: how it works, why it works, the data you need to provide, and how to get started with your account manager.</p>

<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="whats-new">What's new<a href="https://help.carbuddyai.com/changelog/2026/05/23/self-serve-demo#whats-new" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to What's new" title="Direct link to What's new" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Two ways to try it</strong> — send yourself a single message (<strong>Sample Send</strong>) to see one touchpoint, or run the full <strong>Enrolment</strong> journey end to end.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Accelerated journey</strong> — a multi-day outreach sequence is compressed into minutes, so you can experience the whole flow in one sitting instead of waiting days between messages.</li>
<li class=""><strong>See the handover</strong> — when you reply with interest, the qualified-lead handover that your sales team would normally receive is sent to you, so you can see exactly what they'd get.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Reset and retry</strong> — unsubscribe and re-enrol with the same contact details to run the journey again cleanly.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="reliability-improvements-shipped-alongside">Reliability improvements shipped alongside<a href="https://help.carbuddyai.com/changelog/2026/05/23/self-serve-demo#reliability-improvements-shipped-alongside" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Reliability improvements shipped alongside" title="Direct link to Reliability improvements shipped alongside" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>No duplicate messages</strong> — touchpoints are now reserved before they're sent, so a customer never receives the same message two or three times.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Email replies always matched</strong> — inbound email replies from single-branch and demo contacts are now reliably matched to the right conversation (previously some could be dropped).</li>
</ul>
<p>Ask your account manager to enable <strong>Try It</strong> if you'd like to take it for a spin.</p>]]></content>
