You can use a general AI assistant for individual sales tasks - drafting an email, summarising a call you paste in, researching an account. But you become the operator: you supply the context, remember every task, and carry each result into the CRM yourself. Spiich is an agentic sales platform - it joins your meetings, writes to HubSpot, Attio, Pipedrive, and Salesforce, and runs prospecting and follow-up work on its own triggers, unprompted. See [what it takes to run sales on a general AI assistant](https://spiich.ai/articles/build-vs-buy-ai-sales-agent#what-about-claude-or-chatgpt). ### What is the difference between Claude and Spiich? Claude is a general-purpose AI assistant made by Anthropic - brilliant at writing, analysis, coding, and answering questions across every domain. Spiich is an agentic sales platform for B2B teams: it does one job - sales - with native CRM integrations, a meeting note taker, automated morning briefs, and background agents that prospect and qualify leads while your team sells. See [what Spiich is and how it fits your day](https://spiich.ai/help/getting-started/what-is-spiich). ### Can Claude update my CRM automatically? Not on its own. With connectors, Claude can reach some tools, and Claude Cowork can run a task you set up on a schedule - but it does not join your meetings, and nothing it does is triggered by what happens in your CRM. Spiich updates HubSpot, Attio, Pipedrive, and Salesforce automatically after every meeting and call: deal stages, amounts, contacts, tasks, and next steps, written back without anyone asking. See [how post-meeting CRM updates work](https://spiich.ai/help/meetings/meeting-notes-and-crm-updates). ### Do I have to choose between Claude and Spiich? No - they are different tools for different jobs. Keep Claude for research, writing, and everything else a great generalist is for. Spiich runs your sales motion: prospecting, meeting admin, CRM hygiene, and follow-ups. Think everyday shoes and racing shoes: you own both, and you know exactly when to wear which. ### Where is my sales data processed, with Spiich and with Claude? Spiich offers optional EU data residency: with it, your production data, including the application, databases and AI inference, is stored and processed in the EU/EEA. The one exception is agent web search, which in every case sends agent-generated queries, not attributed to your company, to a limited set of web-search providers outside the EU/EEA. By default, data may be processed worldwide, including in the United States. Either way, Spiich never uses customer data to train models. [Anthropic's privacy policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy) states that personal data is transferred to its servers in the US under standard contractual clauses. Spiich runs large language models too, under zero-retention terms, with inference in the EU/EEA if you choose EU data residency. The question is not whether AI is involved, but whether your pipeline data can stay in the EU while it happens. See [the Trust Center](https://spiich.ai/trust). ### Is Spiich just a chatbot with a sales prompt? No. Chat is one of three modes. Spiich is wired into your CRM, email, calendar, and meetings through native integrations, and its background agents act on schedules and CRM events - no prompt required. Large language models are one component; the platform around them - the triggers, the integrations, and the memory of your pipeline - is what gets the work done. See [how background agents work](https://spiich.ai/help/background-agents/background-agents-overview). ## Ready to interview Spiich? - Let Spiich handle CRM data entry - Let Spiich handle meeting prep - Let Spiich handle prospecting - Let Spiich handle qualification - Let Spiich handle follow-up emails - Let Spiich handle deal prioritization ## Reclaim 9+ hours weekly. ## 15 minutes to see how.
