What Carly can do with Salesloft

Log calls and activities from your phone

Text Carly a recap right after a call — who, how long, what happened, what's next — and she creates the call and activity records in Salesloft against the right person.

Add and remove people from cadences

Email Carly a list of prospects and the cadence they belong in and she creates the cadence memberships. Someone replied? Tell her to pull them out so they stop getting steps.

Ask pipeline questions without opening a report

Ask who has steps due today, how many people entered a cadence this week, or what a specific account's recent activity looks like, and Carly pulls it from Salesloft and replies.

Create people from anywhere a lead shows up

Forward Carly an intro email, a conference badge scan, or a webinar list and she creates the person records in Salesloft with the right account and fields filled in.

What buying a Salesloft AI assistant actually gets you

Salesloft already has AI inside it — Conversations transcribes calls, Rhythm scores signals and orders your day, Cadences handle the sequencing. Those all live inside the Salesloft UI, and they assume you're sitting in it. That assumption is where the day leaks. An AE who takes a discovery call on their phone between meetings doesn't log it. An SDR who gets a reply in their personal inbox doesn't pause the cadence. A manager who wants to know how many people entered a cadence this week opens a report instead of asking a question.

An external AI assistant solves a different problem than the AI already in the platform. It isn't there to write better subject lines. It's there so the record gets updated when you're nowhere near a browser tab, and so answers come to you instead of you going to a dashboard. If you're evaluating AI for Salesloft, that's the distinction to price: in-platform AI improves what happens while you're in Salesloft, an assistant improves what happens when you aren't.

How Carly connects to Salesloft with your own API key

Salesloft is a bring-your-own-key integration for Carly, not a one-click native connector. Salesloft supports this directly: any customer can generate a personal API key in Salesloft under Your Applications → API Keys → Create New, choose the scopes it should carry (people, accounts, cadences, activities, calls, emails), and save. You paste that key on Carly's integrations page at carlyassistant.com/integrations and Carly starts working against your Salesloft account through the REST API at api.salesloft.com.

The key is scoped by you, so you decide how far Carly reaches. Grant read scopes only and Carly becomes a fast answer layer over your pipeline. Add write scopes and she can create people, add them to cadences, and log call and activity records on your behalf.

What changes after that is the interface. You text Carly "log the Brightwave call, 22 minutes, they want pricing before their board meeting" and the activity lands in Salesloft against the right person. You email "add the four people from the webinar list to the Q3 Enterprise Outbound cadence" and the cadence memberships get created. Nothing about your Salesloft setup changes — same cadences, same steps, same reporting.

Where an AE, SDR, and sales manager each get time back

AEs use Carly for the gap between the call ending and the CRM catching up. Dictate the recap by text on the walk back, and the activity, the notes, and the follow-up task all get created without opening a laptop.

SDRs use her for cadence hygiene at volume. Adding thirty people to a cadence, pulling someone out because they replied from a different address, or checking who has steps due today are the tasks that eat an hour a day in clicks and take one message instead.

Sales managers use her for the questions that don't justify building a report — how many people entered the enterprise cadence last week, which reps have overdue steps, what the call volume looked like Tuesday. Because Carly also reaches your calendar, inbox, and the rest of your stack, those Salesloft answers can arrive alongside the meeting and email context they actually depend on.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI assistant for Salesloft?

Carly is an AI assistant that works over email and text and connects to Salesloft with your own API key. She logs calls and activities, adds and removes people from cadences, creates person records, and answers pipeline questions — without you opening Salesloft. She's the right pick if the problem you're solving is updates that never get made because you're away from your desk, rather than better copy inside the platform.

How does Carly connect to Salesloft?

Salesloft is a bring-your-own-key integration. In Salesloft, go to Your Applications → API Keys → Create New, name the key, select the scopes you want it to have, and save. Then paste the key on Carly's integrations page at carlyassistant.com/integrations. Salesloft makes API keys available to customers directly — you don't need to be a partner or go through their team.

What can Carly actually do in Salesloft?

It depends on the scopes you attach to your API key. With read scopes she can pull people, accounts, cadences, activities, calls, and email records to answer questions. With write scopes she can create people, create cadence memberships, remove people from cadences, and log call and activity records. You control the ceiling when you generate the key. Because Carly also has native connectors for around 260 apps including Salesforce, HubSpot, Apollo, Close, and Gong, one message can log the Salesloft activity, update the CRM, and set the follow-up.

How is this different from Salesloft's built-in AI like Rhythm and Conversations?

Salesloft's AI works inside Salesloft — it scores signals, orders your day, and analyzes recorded calls while you're in the platform. Carly works outside it. She's who you text when the call just ended and you're walking to your car, or who you email when you want a number without building a report. Most teams that use both keep Rhythm for prioritization and use Carly so the record stays accurate when nobody's logged in.

Can Carly add people to a Salesloft cadence in bulk?

Yes. Email her a list — pasted rows, a forwarded webinar export, a spreadsheet — plus the cadence name, and she creates a cadence membership for each person. If a person doesn't exist in Salesloft yet she can create the person record first, then enroll them.

What does Carly cost for Salesloft users?

Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. The Salesloft connection itself uses your own API key, so there's no separate connector fee on top.

See what people say

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
