Speed to lead sounds like a sales tactic

It's actually the whole game

Ruben Harris knows this better than anyone

He built a 300-person call center across 3 countries to reach 1M people a month

...and saw exactly where the ceiling was

The problem isn't effort. It's physics.

A working-class student fills out a form at 10 PM. Nobody's staffed at 10 PM

So 90% of leads go cold
Not because they weren't interested
Because nobody got back to them fast enough

Outrival's AI agents respond in under a minute

They call, text, email, and follow up

One client made $ 10M in new revenue from leads they already had

The best outbound AI isn't replacing humans
It's doing the work humans never had time to do

Video recap of my time speaking at @aiDotEngineer @AIEMiami. Shout out to @MichelleBakels @Beccalytics for creating so many incredible experiences. Lots of great conversations, presentations, and connections. Already looking forward to next year!

Our Head of Insurance @JohnHenryStyle wanted to give you all a sneak peek to our office in Miami so you can get a taste of how our engineers make the magic happen and how @outrivalAI keeps closing these enterprise deals 💰 shout out to @asugsvsummit in San Diego

[Ruben Harris @rubenharris]

The @outrivalAI team was well represented at the @AIEMiami @aiDotEngineer event in Miami yesterday. You know @alvinpane brought the heat of course. Legendary talk🔥🗣️

[Ruben Harris @rubenharris]

NEWSFLASH: @outrivalAI just launched our dedicated insurance vertical, led by @JohnHenryStyle

We're already live with both publicly traded and private companies, doing 3M+ calls/month across education, insurance, and travel.

What Silicon Valley calls AI agents, we call Digital Workers. They make outbound calls, send texts, emails, and voicemails.

But here's what makes insurance different for us: we're not just helping carriers cut costs. We're helping them build their brand and make money.

Every claim, renewal, and billing call is a brand moment. Our AI voice layer lets each carrier build their own persona across every policyholder touchpoint.

Full press release below.

People keep comparing Miami to Silicon Valley.

That's the wrong frame.

Silicon Valley was built on exclusion - the right zip code, the right school, the right warm intro.

Also SV is an important place for 🇺🇸 competitiveness - we need it to keep winning.

Miami is being built on access.

A Google co-founder just proved it.

[Saif Ishoof 3️⃣☕️5️⃣ @saif305]

@thelabmiami The event was put together by @thelabmiami x
@MDCollege x @DeepStationAI @GrantKurz w cash prize via @outrivalAI

Standing room only.

No velvet rope.
No $5,000 tickets.
No gatekeepers.

Just builders in a room doing the work.

[Saif Ishoof 3️⃣☕️5️⃣ @saif305]

This post blew up so let me tell you what’s actually happening in Miami that most people still aren’t tracking.

A thread. 🧵
