What does a deliberately narrow implementation look like?

How Three People Handle Calls for a 65-Person Team With AI Virtual Agent

Josh Lu interviews Liz Larson, Office & Service Coordinator at ARC Electric, on Mastering ServiceTitan.

How should contractors challenge booking-rate claims?

TTP Micro Episode: A.I vs Human: Call Handling Revolutionized in Home Services

Hosts Chris and Chad, with Tyson Chen of Avoca AI and Paul Barth of TurnPoint, on To The Point — Home Services VIP Room Podcast.

AI for Dental Practices: More Patients, Better Scheduling

Patrick Chavoustie interviews Dr. Miles Beckett, co-founder and CEO of Flossy, on The Dental Brief.

How do you test both completed work and caller experience?

EVA — A Framework for Evaluating Voice Agents by ServiceNow

Bobby Brill with ServiceNow researchers Tara Bogavelli, Katrina Stankiewicz and Gabrielle Gauthier Melançon.

How should testing continue after the demonstration works?

Building Trustworthy Voice AI: The Evaluation Playbook with Brooke Hopkins

Brooke Hopkins, founder and CEO of Coval, on ODSC’s Ai X Podcast.

Hopkins leads an evaluation supplier. The notes disclose sponsorship by ODSC AI East 2026. Treat the proposed testing approach as input to procurement, not proof that any particular testing product is necessary. (podcasts.apple.com)

What do engineering teams encounter beyond the demo?

Forward Deployed: Voice AI on what works in 2026

Basil Chatha hosts Basia Sudol of Decagon, Varun Singh of Daily, Steven Diaz of Vapi, Tyler D’Silva of Retell AI and Sudarshan Kamath of Smallest AI, published by Latent Space.

This is a supplier-side engineering panel. Architecture statements are the participants’ views at publication, not universal findings. Technical ease of outbound calling should never be interpreted as legal permission to place a call.

Beyond BPO: How AI-Powered Outsourcing Becomes Business Transformation w/Adam O’Connor

Jim Kunkle interviews Adam O’Connor of Conectys on The Digital Revolution.

The guest represents an outsourcing provider. The episode offers a supplier perspective on incentives and delivery, not evidence that outcome-based pricing automatically produces better value.

Where should legal and revenue operations begin with outbound AI?

Compliant Use of AI and Understanding First Amendment Rights as it Relates to Prerecorded Calls

Contact Center Compliance, publisher of DNC.com. Individual speakers are not identified in the accessible page.

The FCC’s 2024 declaratory ruling placed AI-generated voices within the TCPA’s artificial-or-prerecorded-voice restrictions. That is not a universal prohibition on AI calling, nor clearance for a particular campaign. Check the FCC ruling with counsel rather than relying on a webinar headline. (docs.fcc.gov)
