n8n Ottawa Community Meetup: Build an AI Voice Assistant (Live) + Founder Pitch
If you’ve been learning AI but haven’t actually built something real yet… this is for you.
In this session, we’re doing things differently.
We’re starting with a founder pitch: An AI customer service agent for small and medium businesses
Then we’re going hands-on so bring your laptop, and feel free to sign up for the n8n trial, Eleven Labs & Twillio ahead of time so you’re ready to build.
You’ll build your own AI voice assistant that can answer phone calls, respond intelligently, and speak back to users.
No fluff. No passive demos.
You’ll actually walk away with something working.
