We’re super excited to announce that you no longer have to update your CRM. \n\n**TL;DR:** AI agents that monitor your customer interactions across every channel — from call transcripts to Slack messages — and organize them into CRM records. We eliminate manual data entry for reps and make your CRM a perfect source of truth.\n\nIf you’re interested in perfect CRM data with no manual effort, book a meeting with us [here](https://cal.com/edwardfrazer/drymerge-consultation).\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/nLkEsqRNO6c\u003e\n\n## **The Problem**\n\nCRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot are only useful when populated with really good data. Without good data, pretty much every CRM feature like reporting, forecasting, automation, etc. becomes either useless or actively harmful. The problem is that updating the CRM with good data is **hard**, and **traditional methods don’t work.**\n\n\\\nThere’s two main ways CRMs get updated today:\n\n1. A rep manually writes notes, updates deal stages, fills in custom fields, and generally does a whole lot of data entry.\n2. A CRM integration ‘captures’ activity from email/calendar and copy pastes it into the CRM automatically.\n\nBut _both of these fail_. Why?\n\nCRM integrations don’t organize data. They copy-paste unstructured data into your CRM, but to be _useful_ data needs to be structured \u0026 organized into records (new contacts, deal stage updates, intelligent notes, custom field changes, etc). Activity capture is not good at that.\n\nReps can organize data into records, but, like many highly manual \u0026 repetitive things, they _hate_ it and are bad at it. Human CRM updates become very error-prone and inconsistent (or nonexistent).\n\n**The Solution**\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/WtH2W81lnQs\u003e\n\nWe create AI agents that constantly monitor your emails, calendar, calls, or wherever else you have relationship data and organize it into CRM records as meticulously as a great rep would.\n\nThis looks like enriching and creating contacts, writing detailed \u0026 specific notes, associating related records, updating deal stages, scoring leads, etc.\n\nThe agents work in the background — you never have to touch our UI or touch your CRM; just work as you would normally and our agents keep track of everything.\n\nWe integrate with over 50 business apps and CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho. We add new integrations quickly!\n\nOur agents are tailored to your deal process and the information you want to record. \n\n* For example, one of our B2B SaaS customers really cares about creating notes after calls with information like what connectors an enterprise is using and whether they’re self-hosting or not. They want the notes associated with the correct opportunity, account, \u0026 all stakeholder contacts.\n* On the other hand, financial services firms we work with have tons of domain-specific custom fields, custom objects, and deal stages they want to populate from email exchanges.\n\nSince our agents follow arbitrary plain English instructions, we can accommodate almost every deal process.\n\n## **How did we arrive at this problem?**\n\nOur core product is a platform to build integrated AI agents that work in the background. Over the last 10 months, by far the most popular use-case we served were agents to update CRMs. We leaned into this demand and designed towards making these agents great. They’re capable of operating in very large CRMs with \u003e 99% reliability on updates.\n\n## **The Ask**\n\nIf you have CRM data problems (either because you don’t update the CRM or your reps struggle with it), feel free to grab some time [here](https://cal.com/edwardfrazer/drymerge-consultation)!
