Artificial Antics

Send us a text

Basic chatbots are out. Say hello to 𝗔𝗜𝗦𝗔—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 tool—it's the future of sales.
