CRM and AI?



Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in a CRM system to enhance customer service, sales performance, and marketing strategies. Here are some examples of how AI can be applied in a CRM:


- AI can enable natural language processing and voice input, such as Siri or Alexa, to allow a CRM system to answer customer queries, solve their problems, and even identify new opportunities for the sales team. Some AI-driven CRM systems can even multitask to handle all these functions and more.

- AI can help with sales forecasting by analysing historical data, customer behaviour, and market trends. This can help the sales team make more accurate predictions for future sales figures and determine a success metric.

- AI can assist with lead management by automating the process of qualifying and nurturing prospects. It can use chatbots and email bots to understand leads' needs and inform the sales team to improve their performance. With insights gained from these bots, companies can optimise their sales processes.

- AI can improve customer experience by providing personalised recommendations, offers, and content based on customer preferences, interests, and behaviour. This can increase customer loyalty, retention, and satisfaction.

- AI can enhance marketing campaigns by segmenting customers based on various criteria, such as demographics, psychographics, and purchase history. It can also help with creating and testing different versions of ads, landing pages, and emails to find the most effective ones.


AI-powered CRM systems can provide many benefits for businesses, such as:


- Increasing sales efficiency and productivity by automating repetitive tasks and providing actionable insights.

- Improving customer satisfaction and loyalty by delivering faster and more personalised service and support.

- Reducing costs and errors by streamlining workflows and processes and minimising human intervention.

- Boosting innovation and competitiveness by leveraging data and analytics to create new products, services, and strategies.


AI is transforming the way businesses interact with their customers and manage their relationships. By using AI in a CRM system, businesses can gain a competitive edge in the market and achieve better results.

The AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their...

Perplexity - a web enabled GPT

Perplexity is a relatively new GPT that is web enabled and, importantly, quotes the sources of where the information was gleaned from. What is particularly interesting, beyond the results, is that it can plug into an OpenAI account, should you want, but more importantly the company behind Perplexity publishes the names and sources of the primary financial backers of the project. It's already available for iPhones and soon, it seems, for Android.  The search screen prompt is well tailored to quick searches too, which adds to its usability. Below is a sample of it's findings from an initial prompt followed by one of its suggested follow on prompts. It really is easy to use with one of the best UX's available for its type.
