What we at Balderton think about the future of CRM, inspired by working with @attio : "AI will turn CRM from being a passive record-keeper to a driving force for GTM teams."

[Daniel Waterhouse @wanderingvc]

Huge announcement from Attio about the future of AI who have been building the rails to make this possible. Very excited about them delivering on this vision of the future

[Attio @attio]

We just put 50+ GTM leaders on Nasdaq's board in Times Square. Why?

We're about to witness a seismic shift in CRM – one that even surpasses the cloud revolution of 1999. AI is here, and it's going to change everything.

The category has been on the cusp of revolution for years. At Attio, we've been preparing for this paradigm shift since our founding, with a clear vision for the next generation of CRM.

But great ideas don't exist in a vacuum. CRM is one of the most widely used tools in business, and its future in the AI era will be shaped by many voices.

That's why we reached out to 50+ GTM leaders – the people who are actively building companies and using these tools every day.

We wanted to understand their thoughts on the future of CRM in the AI era, and start a conversation. So we took it to Times Square, where their perspectives will be shared all week.

We've compiled their insights, along with our own vision, into a manifesto for the future of CRM. It's a glimpse into what's possible when AI meets customer relationships. It's what we're building at Attio.

While most people now start to understand what AI can do I find that most people (often even in tech) still don't have any real understanding of how it actually does these things. This means that they tend to either overestimate - or underestimate - what it can really do when they build products, regulate etc.

I think it's generally important to understand technology to be able to apply it. So - trying to channel my inner educational/AI hero @karpathy - I did an internal Spotify talk for our executives and employees, where I try to build these intuitions without requiring any math or engineering background. I was then asked to share it more broadly. Hopefully you find it useful. Let me know!

The talk covers:
- How does ChatGPT work and what is a Large Language model?
- How can a computer understand language?
- How can a Large Language Model be "creative"?
- How do you steer it and give it "values"?
- How does Stable Diffusion and Midjourney work and what is a Diffusion Model?
- What does "Intelligence is compression" mean?
- How can you generate images, video and music etc from just a piece of text, or even pure white noise?
