How to Build an AI CRM Agent (Pipeline Over Email)
An AI CRM agent manages your pipeline, enriches contacts, flags at-risk deals, and delivers reports — all through email and Slack. No dashboards, no data entry, no logging in.

How it works
Create a CRM agent at dashboard.carlyassistant.com/agents (or email carly@usecarly.com and describe what you need). Connect your CRM, email, and enrichment tools — HubSpot, Gmail, and Apollo cover most sales workflows. The agent starts handling pipeline questions, contact enrichment, and deal alerts immediately, and learns your reporting preferences and risk thresholds over time.
