Autom8ly Brings AI-Powered Lead Generation to the Cloud Communications Alliance, Podcast
22 Apr, 2025
Mark Vange and Autumn highlight a new model for AI collaboration at Cloud Connections 2025
“AI needs to be thought of more as a colleague and less as a tool.” — Mark Vange, CEO, Autom8ly
At Cloud Connections 2025, Technology Reseller News sat down with Mark Vange, CEO of Autom8ly, and Autumn, the company’s AI-powered assistant, to explore a new approach to lead generation and AI adoption for Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) members.
Autom8ly introduced a novel AI-driven system that helps match prospective clients with the most suitable CCA members. “We built a lead generation system that listens to the visitor’s needs and uses AI to match them with the right member,” explained Autumn. “It’s all about understanding intent and providing the best-fit connection.”
To accomplish this, Autom8ly created detailed profiles for each CCA member, pulling data from their websites and inviting them to review and update their information. This interaction not only boosts exposure for CCA members but also acts as an introduction to working with AI tools like Autumn.
“Lead gen is a great way to meet everybody,” said Vange. “It gave us a reason to build meaningful profiles, and in the process, start working together. It's how we demonstrate what AI-centric work will look like in the coming years.”
Autumn plays a central role in Autom8ly’s operations—from marketing and CRM to code generation and even accounting. The company’s strategy focuses on partnering with organizations to build tailored AI solutions. “We’re the engine,” said Vange. “You be the train. Let’s put it on the track together.”
A veteran technologist and entrepreneur, Vange emphasized a unique philosophy: AI should be introduced gradually, much like a new employee. “We believe in building confidence through iteration,” he said. “You don’t just give AI a task and walk away. You start small, measure success, and grow trust over time.”
Autom8ly’s vision extends beyond the CCA. They're in talks with other associations to bring similar solutions to new industries, offering not a product, but a collaborative approach to AI integration.
