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 Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

 Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

The tech utopia of endless leisure time is here: goodbye jobs

  'AI eliminated nearly 4,000 jobs in May' so it's reported by hallenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. Following on from reports by IBM et al that thousands of job cuts will occur due to AI replacement, there is no need to wait for the utopia of AI allowing humans more leisure time, as that's already here, in the form of redundancies, if we are to accept the reports findings. 'With the exception of Education, Government, Industrial Manufacturing, and Utilities, every industry has seen an increase in layoffs this year.' What's particularly notable is that it's the Tech sector that's the most affected from job cuts in the US economy: 'The Technology sector announced the most cuts in May with 22,887, for a total of 136,831 this year, up 2,939% from the 4,503 cuts announced in the same period last year. The Tech sector has now announced the most cuts for the sector since 2001, when 168,395 cuts were announced for the entire year. ' Another reason ...
