‍

Agent Overview

Apla is your dedicated account planning assistant that conducts comprehensive research on prospect companies, creates detailed reports, and seamlessly updates your CRM with valuable insights and contact information.

Use-Cases

This agent excels at pre-sales research and account planning. It can be used to prepare for important sales meetings, qualify new leads, or update existing account information. The agent's ability to gather information from multiple sources and update your CRM makes it invaluable for sales teams looking to maintain accurate, up-to-date account information while saving time on manual research.

Tools

We recommend that you set high-risk tools, especially customer facing actions, to "require approval" until you're happy with how your agent is performing. Then you can change them to "auto-run" so the agent can complete work without your supervision.
