Octolane is a self-driving AI CRM built to automate the grunt work of sales. Unlike traditional CRMs that just store data, this one actually does things—updating records, sending emails, moving deals forward.

The platform handles all the standard CRM stuff: lead scoring, contact enrichment, automated outreach, predictive analytics. It writes emails for you. And it plays nice with whatever sales tools you're already using.

But here's where it gets interesting. Octolane doesn't just sit there waiting for input. It finds prospects on its own, books calls, sends follow-ups. Your sales team can focus on closing deals instead of updating Salesforce. The system learns from every interaction.

This could seriously challenge Salesforce's dominance. When your CRM updates itself and takes action automatically, all that manual data entry just... disappears.

Think of Octolane as agentic AI dressed up as a CRM. It's part of a new wave of self-driving business apps that don't need humans babysitting them.

The service is in early access. You can email the team at one@octolane.com to get started.
