What People.ai does
People.ai is now Backstory, according to the page, which describes an AI revenue platform for sales leaders. It is built for revenue leaders, including CROs, sales leaders, and revenue operations, to answer pipeline questions about which deals are real, which are at risk, and what to do next. Named features include Deal Summaries, Forecasting, Waterfall Charts, Risk Headlines, Engagement Scoring, Automated Account Plans, Custom Signals, and an AI Sales Coach. An MCP server brings deal context into AI tools. Named integrations include Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, Teams, and Slack.
