Hi Freya W., we are selling agentic solution, not for sales activities but for training and enablement.

After the 11x saga I can’t believe anyone is going to leverage AI agents at scale again.

Pat H. the key challenge being faced by ‘black box’ AI tools like AISDRs is that there is no way to look under the hood. They will either work or not work for you. Our approach is to make the whole process fully transparent like a ‘glass box’ so that you can iterate, tweak and learn. That’s the way we believe AI agents will create both trust and value. It is working and we are seeing some great results with our customers.

also don’t want to sound like a sales bot, but we are building ai agents for revops Freya W. We’ve built a Salesforce AI admin agent, one that acts as a stand alone salesforce admin for every member in the revops team. IT can create flows, write validation rules, clean and deduplicate data, among a lot of other things. Here is a quick demo: (bit rough around the edges, didn’t have time to edit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFoofig-pno&t=37s If you find it interesting we are giving it for free to Revops teams for this month just before our GA, I’d be happy to give a detailed demo and give you the same: https://cal.com/neils/clientell-demo

Hi! We created a free and open source Slack "character" called Geppetto that connects to a variety of LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT). In this way, for example, when the sales teams have questions about a certain topic it asks Geppetto and everybody that shares that channel see the answer an starts a more detailed discussion several steps forward. The codebase is available at: https://github.com/Deeptechia/geppetto

Hi Pat, thanks, I will announce this there, just that I mentioned it in this context because it is an internal tool we developed and it is free and open source, and I think answers the original question.
