Hints

Hints is an AI assistant that lets sales reps update their CRM through WhatsApp or SMS using text or voice messages. It handles stage changes, notes and task assignments without opening the CRM interface.

Hints is an AI assistant for CRM that moves routine data entry out of the CRM interface and into a messaging app. Instead of opening the CRM to log a call, change a deal stage or assign a follow-up, a user sends a text or voice message over WhatsApp or SMS, and the assistant carries out the update. The homepage lists the kinds of actions it handles: changing pipeline stages, adding notes, assigning tasks, and similar updates. The pitch is aimed at sales teams, where the common complaint is that reps skip CRM hygiene because logging activity takes too long between meetings or on the road. Because the input is a message or a voice note, an update can be dictated from a phone right after a conversation, which is where the data is freshest. In practice, setup starts from the sign-up page linked on the homepage. After that, the workflow is conversational: the rep describes what happened, and Hints interprets the message and writes the change into the connected CRM. The site also has a features page and a cases page, which the homepage points to for more detail on capabilities and example scenarios. The homepage itself does not spell out which CRM platforms are supported, so buyers should confirm compatibility with their own system before committing. Within the broader field, Hints sits between native CRM mobile apps and general-purpose AI note takers. Mobile CRM apps still require navigating forms and fields, while meeting recorders tend to capture transcripts without pushing structured changes into pipeline records. A messaging-first assistant takes a narrower approach: it focuses on the handful of repetitive writes that sales teams perform all day and makes them as light as sending a chat message. That focus suits individual reps and sales managers who want cleaner pipeline data with less friction, though teams with heavily customised CRM schemas will want to test how well it handles their specific fields and stages.
