The result is a CRM where the entire outbound workflow - call, log, send follow-up email, schedule next call, move pipeline stage - happens without switching applications.

The Meeting Notetaker transcribes and summarizes every Zoom, Teams, and Meet call on all plans.

The right credit tier depends on your building pattern: building a defined, well-scoped application from a clear brief consumes fewer credits than iteratively exploring and refining an application through many revision cycles.

The Pro plan's 1M context window is a meaningful technical capability - complex applications require context that smaller context windows truncate, causing AI builders to lose track of earlier design decisions and produce inconsistent outputs. The Ultra Thinking and custom AI agent features on Pro address more sophisticated use cases: enterprise workflows that require custom business logic, multi-step agentic automation, and branded AI behavior. SOC 2 Type I certification at this stage of the company's development signals that enterprise compliance requirements were a design priority rather than an afterthought.","The primary constraints are common to the category.
