In this episode of inspiring computing, Max shares, how he created Callr.ai an AI caller agent called Julia, and how Julia can be integrated into phone agents, transforming people's businesses, around a practical use case of AI. Not only does Julia schedule appointments and potentially replace that first line of phone calls but could be also integrated into CRMs and completely transform the way that cells and or internal requests services, HR processes are done.
