just 2c on the tagline but there was a time when this would be called "Copilot for Sales"... mixed feelings about what a better shorthand tagline would be but "Cursor for X" when there is no IDE, you're not forking anything, and you're forcing the user to do the comparison between actual competitors like Granola or Monterey... just a tough start

features sound great though, i would actually check it out if i were doing sales.

Appreciate you calling out the tagline.

You're spot on about "Cursor for X" potentially confusing people. Our thinking was to evoke an AI deeply embedded in your sales workflow, helping get stuff done, kinda like how Cursor (the IDE) assists developers. Definitely --not-- aiming for an IDE vibe, more the "AI-native assistant" part. "Copilot for Sales" certainly has that instant clarity.

We're still figuring out the best way to phrase this, this kind of feedback is super helpful.

Glad the actual features sound promising though! If you (or anyone reading) ever do give it a spin, we'd love to hear more thoughts, especially if a better way to describe it comes to mind. Naming things in engineering is actually one the hardest issues ahah!

Oh that was my fault—I heard the phrase "Cursor for Sales" and told these guys it would make a good title.

I've uncursored and copiloted the title above now. Thanks!

This confused me somewhat because Copilot for Sales is the name of a Microsoft product - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/copilo...

oh i didnt actually mean for you to take actions, taglines are hard, startups need to claim ambitious comparisons, all analogies fail etc etc, love you dang

its just we are currently confronted by a deluge of startups of "cursor for x" bc of obvious reasons and its an open question whether to lean into it or stand out by not

X for Y is more confusing in general than just saying what it is.

In this case: AI to improve your sales calls

or

AI assistant for better human sales calls
