Key features	Automatic activity capture across CRM, email, calls, and meetings Deal scoring against the real MEDDPICC sales framework MCP integration answering questions inside Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot Activity-backed pipeline health and deal-risk monitoring Consumption-based pricing rather than per-seat	Pre-call account and contact enrichment Live in-call guidance during Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams calls Automatic MEDDPICC and BANT capture into Salesforce or HubSpot Post-call deal context summarization AI-generated role-play coaching scenarios
Pros	Genuine rebrand with continuity - same product and data infrastructure as People.ai Grounded in a real, established sales methodology (MEDDPICC), not a proprietary black box Native MCP integration meets sales teams where they already work	Covers the full call lifecycle (prep, live guidance, capture, coaching) instead of one stage Backed by a named $9 million seed round rather than an unfunded early-stage tool Direct Salesforce and HubSpot write-back reduces manual CRM data entry
Cons	Specific pricing tiers aren't detailed on the site Value depends on already having consistent CRM and communication-tool usage to analyze Consumption-based pricing can be less predictable than a flat per-seat model	No published pricing, so cost comparison requires a sales conversation Targets 20+ rep teams, leaving small sales teams without a clear fit Product pivoted from a general no-code AI agent builder to sales-specific tooling, so older coverage of the company describes a different product
