<p>Most CRMs fail for the same reason: someone has to type everything in. Meeting notes stay in a notebook, follow-ups slip, and the pipeline goes stale. At SoftSync we describe our product as "a CRM an AI assistant can actually run", an all-in-one AI CRM without the data entry, built for founders, startups and small teams.</p>
<p>This post walks through three parts of <a href="https://softsync.ai">SoftSync AI</a> that developers and operators tend to ask about: the Meeting Assistant, the MCP server, and Autopilot.</p>
<h2>The everyday flow</h2>
<p>SoftSync is built for small businesses and sales teams. The everyday flow is <strong>outreach → meeting → proposal → closing</strong>. Underneath it is a flexible data model:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Objects</strong> (People, Companies, Deals or custom ones) are tables with fields.</li>
<li><strong>Records</strong> hold field values, notes, timeline activity and links to other records.</li>
<li><strong>Groups</strong> are shared working areas with their own members, roles and views. One record can sit in several groups without being copied.</li>
<li><strong>Views</strong> come in three types: Table, Kanban (drag-and-drop pipeline) and Calendar.</li>
</ul>
<p>Email and calendar connect to Google Workspace/Gmail and Microsoft 365/Outlook through OAuth. You can choose to import only emails from CRM contacts, so your CRM doesn't fill up with noise.</p>
<h2>Meeting Assistant: no bot joins the call</h2>
<p>The Meeting Assistant is a desktop app for Mac and Windows ("SoftSync Desktop"). It captures your <strong>microphone and system audio</strong> and shows a live transcript. <strong>No bot joins the meeting</strong>, and no extra participant is invited.</p>
<p>Because it records computer audio, it works for:</p>
<ul>
<li>online meetings in any app whose audio plays through your computer</li>
<li>phone calls routed through the computer (for example, iPhone with Mac "Calls on Other Devices", or Windows Phone Link)</li>
<li>in-person conversations near the computer</li>
</ul>
<p>The workflow:</p>
<ol>
<li>Give the meeting a title and add context. Type <code>@</code> to link the person, company or deal, or pick the upcoming calendar event.</li>
<li>Choose the spoken languages (up to ten), then <strong>Start</strong>.</li>
<li>When you <strong>End</strong>, generate an editable AI summary.</li>
<li>Attach the summary to a CRM record. Review suggested field changes, tasks and reminders, and save only the ones you want.</li>
</ol>
<p>Nothing is written to the CRM until you click Attach. That's deliberate. You review the note first. Also tell everyone when a conversation is being recorded, and follow the consent laws that apply to each participant.</p>
<p>The desktop recorder is included on every plan. It is not a paid add-on.</p>
<h2>MCP: let Claude or ChatGPT work in your CRM</h2>
<p>SoftSync has an MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can create customers, move deals and send email.</p>
<p>Setup is short:</p>
<ol>
<li>In SoftSync, open <strong>Settings → AI assistant</strong> and copy the remote MCP URL.</li>
<li>Add it as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT.</li>
<li>Sign in with OAuth.</li>
</ol>
<p>A few details matter to developers:</p>
<ul>
<li>The assistant can only do what your role in the workspace allows.</li>
<li>The MCP server offers read-only and confirm-changes options.</li>
<li>On Claude Team/Enterprise or ChatGPT Business, an owner or admin has to add the connector first.</li>
<li>For Claude Code or Codex, there is a terminal command instead of a URL.</li>
</ul>
<p>There is also a REST API (<a href="https://api.softsync.ai/openapi/softsync/docs">docs</a>). Our rule of thumb: use <strong>REST</strong> for your own code, <strong>MCP</strong> for a person's AI assistant, and <strong>connector + workflow</strong> when SoftSync should call an outside system.</p>
<h2>Autopilot: routine work described in plain words</h2>
<p>Autopilot runs saved workflows. You can describe what you want in plain words, start from a library of templates, or use the visual editor. Triggers include record events, new emails, schedules or a manual run. Steps can include human review, and every workflow comes with run history and an audit log.</p>
<p>One example template is <strong>Pre-meeting Brief</strong>, which sends the host a brief before each booking.</p>
<h2>Data and pricing</h2>
<p>Data is hosted in the EU (Azure, Stockholm). SoftSync says workspace data is never sold and never used to train models.</p>
<p>Every plan has the same features, including the AI Assistant, Autopilot, the Desktop recorder, the API and MCP. <strong>Pro starts at $29 per seat per month, billed yearly</strong> (prices exclude VAT). Plans differ on limits like team size and monthly volumes. See the pricing page for details. The checkout page shows any trial terms.</p>
