What happens when you stop just prompting AI and start giving it an operational budget to run a business? In this beta edition of Edge Live, host Josh Kriger sits down with Zach Francis, co-founder of Willo, a no-code, AI-native business operating system.
In this hands-on, live-building episode, Josh and Zach tackle a real-world partner problem: creating a free, viral "website roast" and SEO audit tool to help affiliates convert new users. In under fifteen minutes, using Willo's conversational interface, they deploy a functional web application complete with instant SEO scoring, ADA-compliance alt-text checks, custom tone selectors (from professional to "savage"), and automated site-fix capabilities.
Discover Zach's bold predictions for the agentic economy, where AI agents act as customers purchasing software and hiring other agents, plus a look at Willo's roadmap for Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrations, recurring task automation, and embedded CRMs.
