The problem today
Reps spend 30–60 minutes a day typing notes, next steps and contact roles into the CRM. Most skip it, so pipeline reviews run on stale data.
What it does
It reads the call note, logged email or meeting summary and pulls out next steps, dates, pain points, stakeholders, competitors, budget and timeline, each with an exact quote. Code matches it to the right contact and deal and builds a before → after diff. The record owner approves the changes on a card. In Assisted and Auto, safe, high-confidence fields can apply on their own. Every applied change set can be rolled back with one click.

What it will never do on its own
Safety & human control- Stage, amount, close date, forecast category, probability, owner and pipeline are locked: never auto-applied in any mode.
- Never silently overwrites a field a person edited in the last 24 hours.
- Never deletes, merges or clears records, and never turns budget talk into an amount.
- Suspicious text sends every change to approval with a red banner.
- Contact data masked in logs; source text is not stored after the run.
- You approve before it acts
- Your data stays yours
- It knows its limits
- Stop anytime
