AI Tools That Actually Work: Our Roundtable Picks

His AI receptionist was supposed to get pitched. Instead, it upsold the salesman. At the end of every AI Marketing Roundtable, we go around the table and everyone shares one AI tool or trick they are actually using right now. These are the picks from our October 27, 2026 show. Dillon gives his Grok Bots their own email aliases and job descriptions. Jeff built a Vapi voice agent that answers the phone with almost no lag. Gavin has a Grok Bot that emails an old customer every 5 minutes. Andrew shares a prompt for making AI writing sound human. Peter uses Genspark to find RFPs, and AI helped him cut his phone and cable bills. Allan explains how AI now finds, writes and even reviews RFPs.
