Detects accounts, contacts, and leads referenced in emails and meetings, and links them to the relevant opportunity context.
Suggests field updates such as job title, phone number, industry, or employee count - when new information appears in a conversation.
Identifies new stakeholders mentioned in meetings or email threads and suggests creating or linking contact and lead records.
Cites the source interaction for every suggestion so you can verify before applying.
