Basic chatbots are out. Say hello to π—”π—œπ—¦π—”β€”an AI sales associate that actually closes deals. In this episode of Artificial Antics, I sit down with Lane Campbell (CEO & Co-Founder) and Phil Spagnoli (Director of Business Development) from Zenzio to explore how their AI-powered platform is changing the game for dealerships.

We cover the entire journey: how Zenzio started, why they went all-in on AI, and what makes AISA different from every other "AI chatbot" out there. From answering 20+ buyer questions over days to speaking 97 languages, AISA isn't just a toolβ€”it's the future of sales.
