The AI sales agent that is helping Indonesians get mortgages, with Ilya Kravtsov (Pillar Lab)

Pillar is a vertical AI platform built for financial institutions, deploying product-aware AI sales agents that qualify leads, recommend the right financial products, and drive applications at scale - helping banks, lenders, and fintechs get more Indonesians into homes.

We recorded this episode just as they were about to rebrand, so while we spoke about Ringkas, you'll now find everything you need to know over at https://pillarlab.ai/
