Building an AI Sales Bot to Call Leads For Me LIVE
Liam Ottley. A live build of an AI voice agent that calls inbound leads, qualifies them, and tries to book a discovery call — Make.com plus a voice provider, with the qualification script and handoff logic shown. Good complement to the email side: same enrichment-then-personalization pattern, different channel, different failure modes.
AI Expert note
Treat this as a concept demo, not a launch checklist. Voice agents touch legal, brand and trust risk; use explicit disclosure, opt-out handling, human escalation and call logging before customer use.
What you should get from this
Evaluate where voice agents might fit sales workflows and where disclosure, consent and escalation become blockers.
Watch or know first
Understand local call-recording, consent and telemarketing rules before testing any outbound voice agent.

HubSpot AcademyAI-Driven Customer Service
Brenna Zenaty, Adriti Gulati
Closes our biggest vertical blind spot: nothing in the catalog spoke directly to support and customer-success teams. HubSpot Academy is free, well-produced, and refreshingly concrete — it walks through AI-assisted ticket triage and a knowledge-base agent rather than staying abstract, and the certificate is free too, not a paywall bait-and-switch.
