Turn meeting notes into a follow-up email and a CRM entry

Turns rough notes from a sales call or site visit into a draft follow-up email and a structured CRM entry, both in your house style.

How it works
After a call or site visit, the salesperson pastes rough notes or an existing transcript into the system. The large model produces two things: a draft follow-up email restating what was discussed and agreed, and a structured CRM note with next steps, owner, date and objections raised. Give it two or three of your own follow-ups and it matches your house style.
Data you need
The notes or transcript themselves — this stack serves no speech-to-text, so audio must be transcribed elsewhere first, or the input is typed notes. Plus two or three examples of follow-up emails you consider good.
What to expect
Output quality tracks note quality: cryptic bullet points produce vague follow-ups. The model may round hedged statements into commitments — 'we'll consider a discount' can become 'we agreed a discount' — which is exactly what the human review exists to catch.
Where people stay involved
The salesperson edits and sends the email; a follow-up that misstates an agreed price or deadline is worse than no follow-up. The CRM entry gets a ten-second sanity check.

Hardware only, third-party prices from 2026-07. The figure excludes the KV cache, which grows with context length and how many people use it at once — sized properly in a conversation, not guessed here. Renting by the token is cheaper up front; why our customers still self-host is below.

Reading a long document whole

No benchmark measures this

No current benchmark ranks today's open models here. HELMET showed that the popular test — finding a planted sentence — predicts nothing, and its own table has not been rerun on 2026 models.

So we do not show a chart here. We measure it on your own content, in the first week, and you see the result before anything ships.

The API is cheaper per token. Here is why our customers don't use it.

We will not pretend otherwise: renting a model by the token from a serverless API costs less per million tokens than a card we run for you. We show that price on every use-case page. What it does not include is the part a shop with a customer database actually pays for.

  1. 01

    Your data never leaves hardware you can point at

    A serverless "we don't retain your data" is a clause in a contract. Running the model on a card in Amsterdam is a fact of architecture: your catalogue, tickets and customer records are never sent to a third party at all. For a GDPR audit, that is the difference between a promise and a floor plan.

  2. 02

    The price cannot move without your say-so

    A serverless rate card is somebody else's lever. The provider can raise the price, retire the model, or change the terms, and your cost moves with it. The same model on the same card costs the same next year — you own the number.

  3. 03

    The model cannot be taken away

    Hosted APIs deprecate models on their own schedule; the one you built on can be gone in a quarter. An open-weight model on your own hardware runs for as long as you keep the lights on. No vendor can end-of-life it out from under you.

And the price gap closes with volume: past a card you keep busy — very roughly four billion tokens a month — owning is cheaper outright, even before the three reasons above.

Getting a case like this one from a conversation to production takes about two months, and you can stop at the end of any phase.
