Leverage all your internal knowledge

More than a search tool. Workbounce AI aggregates information across multiple sources of internal knowledge—before generating the most accurate and informed response.

Workbounce workbounce.com @GetWorkbounce sales teams, meet your co-pilot! Looking for information, chasing prospects, & doing admin work is slowing your deals down. Try a better way. Close those browser tabs! We integrate with your most used platforms (Salesforce coming soon). Every team struggles with knowledge silos! Knowledge shouldn’t have to be hard-won & reps shouldn’t have to lose business to get better. Content & answers could be anywhere… Loom, Gong, Marketo, DocuSign, Dropbox, GDrive, Slack—answers live everywhere, incl. inside people’s heads. So much valuable information is available but hidden—unless you know exactly what to look for & where to find it, or exactly who to ask. To solve this, you bring in a content management system as a single source of truth which inevitably becomes an outdated silo & creates a maintenance burden. Workbounce is designed to be an insightful co-pilot for all customer-facing teams. We connect the siloed tools you use every day—like Google Drive, Notion, & Slack—with a layer of intelligent search & analytics. Spend less time digging through multiple platforms looking for answers, & more time building deal-winning relationships with your customers. Workbounce Ltd, Covent Garden, London, UK

Sales Enablement MarTech tools using ChatGPT and alike

AI for selling b2b: Tools that help B2B sales teams include CRMs & sales chatbots.

In January 2018, I started a list of Sales Enablement tools powered by AI/ML, but here is the early start of a list specifically for ChatGPT and alike [Large language models (LLMs) are computer programs for natural language processing (NLP) that use deep learning and neural networks, like GPT-4].
