Follow-up Intelligence Agent

Automatically aggregates context, identifies follow-up actions, and generates next-step recommendations to streamline cross-team customer engagement.

Coordinating follow-ups across sales, account management, and customer success teams is often slowed by fragmented information, inconsistent handoffs, and limited visibility into customer context. Without a unified view of recent interactions, action items, and engagement signals, teams risk delays, duplicative outreach, and missed opportunities to advance upsell and cross-sell motions.

The Follow-up Intelligence Agent centralizes this workflow by continuously aggregating customer-related information from internal systems and external communication channels. It consolidates structured and unstructured inputs—including CRM activity logs, engagement analytics, customer profiles, email exchanges, meeting notes, and external correspondence—into a single, coherent context pack. The agent then extracts key insights such as recent interactions, open tasks, customer preferences, and engagement health. Using advanced language and reasoning models, it identifies follow-up actions, determines ownership, and recommends prioritized next steps aligned with customer needs and revenue potential.

By unifying context, automating action-item detection, and generating tailored next-step recommendations, the Follow-up Intelligence Agent significantly enhances both process efficiency and employee productivity. Teams gain instant access to clear, actionable insights without navigating multiple systems, reducing the risk of missed commitments and inconsistent outreach. The result is a cohesive, high-velocity engagement workflow that improves customer experience, accelerates revenue opportunities, and strengthens cross-team coordination.

Hi Marcus,
Great connecting on Tuesday. I've looped in Mark Jennings, our product specialist for the Advanced Analytics module, which I believe is a perfect fit for Project Titan.


Mark, Marcus is looking for a solution to add predictive capabilities to their workflow.


Can we schedule a 30-minute demo for you and your team next week?


Best,
