Day AI

Boston CRM startup founded in 2023 by former HubSpot leaders that builds a context graph of every call, email, and deal so AI agents can answer questions and do sales work.

7.7/10
Overall Score
Recommend

Day AI is led by Christopher O'Donnell, who built HubSpot's CRM as an executive there, and it charges for each AI agent a team deploys, while teammates can join at no cost.

Best for

Founders and small go-to-market teams that want a CRM they mostly talk to, with agents that prep meetings, update deals, and draft follow-ups on their own.

Not ideal for

Large sales organizations that need mature reporting and admin controls today, or teams that want a traditional record-and-field CRM.

Verdict

Day AI is worth trying for founders and small sales teams that want an AI assistant to run much of their CRM work. Its builders know the category well, and its agent-based approach is a real break from legacy tools. It is still early, so larger teams should test it with a few sales reps first.
