Introducing Copilot for Prospecting, powered by OpenAI

In my lifetime, I’ve seen two demonstrations of technology that struck me as revolutionary (generative ai is one of them). The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone.
-Bill Gates (The Age of AI has begun)

Go-to-market leaders should not ignore Generative AI. And we aren’t either.

That’s why, today, we’re announcing the biggest shift in our company’s history—a new product that builds on everything we’ve learned since our inception and leverages this new wave in technology to best serve our customers and future customers.

The Cornerstones of Copilot for Prospecting

Here are the four cornerstones of our new product direction:

1. Intelligence → Consumer apps like YouTube, Amazon, Netlix, Spotify, and TikTok get better the more you use them—they know what you want even better than you know what you want. We’re bringing this level of intelligence to B2B go-to-market teams, starting with prospecting.

2. ChatUX → In the future, reps and ops people will not control a computer by pointing and clicking or tapping on menus and dialogue boxes. Instead, they’ll be able to write a request in plain English and get back the outcome they want.

3. Automation → Replacing reps with AI? Nope. Giving them superpowers and automating away the nonsense? Hell yes. Welcome to the era of the 10x seller (just watch).

4. Invisibility → We announced going invisible in December, and we’re doubling down here. Copilot for Prospecting is built right into the workflows reps are already using, so you don’t need to worry about whether or not they’ll adopt this new tool/workflow.

The Problem

Let’s take a quick step back.

Today, SDRs and AEs have to sort through (a growing amount of) data to try and figure out what accounts, contacts (or leads!) they should go after next.

This data sits in different tools, including (but not limited to) your CRM, sales engagement tool, B2B database, LinkedIn, BI tool, spreadsheets, intent data tool, and more!

This workflow is painful, time-consuming, not scientific, and not scalable.

Reps are walking in the dark today. But no longer…

The Solution

(Generative ai) is too big to ignore. I think it’s the single largest opportunity and biggest tech paradigm shift we’ve seen since the internet originally came out.
-Dharmesh Shah (My First Million Podcast)

This unprecedented development comes at a time when SaaS companies need to increase efficiency and streamline their operations. With Generative AI, businesses will be able to automate processes and tasks that were previously time-consuming and labor-intensive. This will free up valuable resources and enable companies to focus on more strategic initiatives that can drive growth and profitability.

My co-founder, Hari, summarized it perfectly in his post, AI: The key to unlocking Product-Led Sales Potential:

Product Led Sales is the future of sales, and AI is the perfect complement to this model. By prioritizing the product experience and leveraging AI, businesses can improve customer satisfaction, increase retention rates, and drive revenue growth. As the sales industry continues to evolve, it's clear that Product Led Sales and AI will play a significant role in shaping the future of sales.

This is a major inflection point for SaaS productivity tools, in particular. Groundswell fits squarely in this camp. So we’re leaning in hard.

We believe that Generative AI implemented correctly will unlock the 10x rep.
