The problem it solves

You add a new contact to your CRM and know almost nothing about them beyond a name and email. Manually searching LinkedIn for background on every lead or contact takes time you don't have and often gets skipped.

Who it fits

Sales and business development teams using Pipedrive or HubSpot who want richer context on every contact.

How it works

  1. A new contact is created or flagged for enrichment in your CRM
  2. Their LinkedIn profile is located by email, or by name and company if that fails
  3. AI reads their profile and recent posts and writes a summary of their background and activity
  4. The summary is written back into the contact's record in your CRM
What you get

Context on every contact before you reach out

Every new contact in your CRM arrives with a written summary of their background and recent activity, ready to read.

What you get

A CRM contact record enriched with a professional background summary and recent activity notes.

What you need

A Pipedrive or HubSpot account, a self-hosted automation instance, an OpenAI API key, and a LinkedIn data provider account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
