Dr. Jie Cheng brings more than 30 years of automotive AI and analytics experience to helping businesses make better decisions. At Ford Motor Company, he developed AI applications and quantitative decision tools for automotive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and business planning, and received the Henry Ford Technology Award. As a vice president at J.D. Power and Associates, he developed automotive analytics solutions for pricing and incentives, used-vehicle valuation and sales-channel optimization. These experiences underpin his approach to connecting AI with customer acquisition, sales performance and everyday operations. He later served as Chief Analytics Officer at Acxiom and ADARA and founded Gausscode, extending his work in customer intelligence and practical AI applications in the United States and China. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan, with a focus on artificial intelligence and data mining.
CAPABILITY BUILT FROM THE WORK
Our coaching approach draws on internal experience at QIYU, where non-coding employees developed work-related automation tools through AI training and coaching. This informs the method; it is not a claim of measured U.S. dealership results.
HOW WE WORK
Your business goal comes first. Scope, people, evidence and operating responsibility connect every part of the work.
Identify the decision or task, the current tools, people and constraints.
Agree scope, responsibilities and the simplest suitable way to proceed.
Deliver the advice, coaching, content or technical work in the agreed engagement.
Check the result, effort and actual use. Decide what to continue, revise or stop.
This is a delivery method—not a required purchasing sequence. Defined video and workflow projects can begin directly.
A CONTINUING PARTNERSHIP
A team that knows your priorities, your people and the decisions already made. Keep executive advice, champion development and the next AI initiative connected.
BRIEFINGS & WORKSHOPS
Practical sessions for dealer-group leaders, marketing teams, operating teams and industry organizations.

The champions program develops your people. Choosing a first project, learning to use approved tools and checking the result are part of that coaching. Agentic AI Solutions is a separate technical practice: automotive knowledge and data, agent behavior, tool access, integration and operating controls. A champion can be the business owner of an agentic project without being responsible for its engineering.
AINERGY provides strategy, coaching and scoped execution. We help choose an appropriate approach and support the work agreed with your team. We work alongside your existing technology; we do not offer a replacement CRM or DMS.
Yes. A defined production, campaign or workflow need can be scoped directly. You do not have to buy executive advisory or an ongoing Office contract first.
Prior coding experience is not a prerequisite for entry. We select tasks around the participant, the available support and the operating risk. Complex technical work is reviewed and scoped separately.
Not by default. We first examine existing capabilities and approved ways to connect or supplement them. Any replacement or integration needs its own business and technical case.
A business sponsor, the people who know the task, agreed working time and appropriate information. Data access, tools, review and production responsibilities are defined before the relevant work starts.
Measures depend on the engagement: decision quality, participant capability, actual usage, production effort, workflow quality or customer-response measures. We agree the baseline and review method at the start rather than promise a universal percentage improvement.
