Brew Notes ☕

Microsoft support, smarter workflows, and AI that does a little more heavy lifting ☕

November at Coffee is all about removing friction and giving your team sharper tools to work with. Here’s what’s brewing this month:

Top highlights:

• Improved summary templates
  ‍
  Your meeting recordings now get even smarter.
  ‍
  Use our AI-ready summary templates or customize your own to match your workflow, style, or sales methodology. Every new summary auto-applies your chosen template, and allows you to write fields directly back to Coffee or HubSpot/Salesforce.

• Zapier integration
  Coffee now connects with Zapier so you can plug your CRM workflows into thousands of apps. Automatically pull data from external systems into Coffee, push data from Coffee to other apps you use, or bring in notes or transcripts from call recorder or note-taking app you’re already using, like Granola.

• Coffee chrome plugin for LinkedIn
  Add or edit contacts in Coffee from LinkedIn with a single click. The plugin matches a company or person profile URL to our master database, and allows you to add or update contacts or company records easily.

• Microsoft login
  ‍Teams using Microsoft 365 can now jump into Coffee with their Microsoft credentials, and sync their email and calendar.

We’ve also shipped…

• Meetings in the sidebar
  Access all AI or manual meeting notes straight from your sidebar without navigating to the company, person, or deal or finding it on the Today page.
• Gmail sign-ups
  Anyone with a Gmail address can now sign up for Coffee without needing a work domain.
• New “Created by” filter
  Filter deals, companies, and people by who created them. Super handy for tracking ownership across your team.

  When importing a group of contacts or companies, let AI craft a fitting list title so you can stay organized with zero effort.

  You can now create and manage multiple Deal pipelines to match how your business actually sells, whether it’s separating new business from renewals, or tracking different products or customer segments.
  
  Stay focused on what matters for each type of deal, without clutter or confusion.

Slack, ChatGPT integration and lots of AI goodness

August has been a crazy busy month as we round out our vision of an AI-first CRM. Top highlights include:

• ChatGPT and Claude Integration: Coffee’s MCP server lets you query any of the information in Coffee (enriched contacts, companies, emails, transcripts, deals, etc.) through your favorite AI client

• AI Filters: now you can use natural language to filter any kind of list - People, Companies or Deals. Taking a trip to Chicago, and want to see all the deals in Chicago that you own that you haven’t met with in the past month? Easy.

We’ve also shipped over 40 improvements to keep the Coffee flowing:

Tasks, Imports and Fields Galore

It’s been another busy month after coming out of stealth in June, and announcing pricing. Here are a few of the highlights:

• Tasks: Stay on top of your to-dos with our new Tasks feature.  Use the universal + button to assign a task to any company, person, or deal — complete with priority levels and due dates.  Track everything in one place on your Today page.

• CSV Import: Bringing in data just got easier.  From any People, Company, or Deals grid, use the Actions menu to upload a CSV file.  Your records will be added to Coffee and automatically enriched with context.

• New Fields: You’ll now find Next Activity and Last Activity in all three grids — Companies, People, and Deals.  These columns auto-populate with your recent meetings and emails, and you can also edit them manually to capture context in your own words.  Quickly see when you emailed/met with someone and if you’ve got an upcoming meeting on the books.  We also added support for Custom Fields with over 11 data types.

We’ve also shipped 30+ bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to keep everything running smoothly, including:
