Creatio’s success is born of experience
Traditional CRM systems have long been struck by complexity, manual data input and ineffectiveness that delay reception and interfere with productivity.

Rediscovery of CRM
Now the Ai -naisty Creatio CRM is striving to overcome the other CRMS use barriers by incorporating AI directly into its platform, turning CRM from a static data management tool into an intelligent system that provides for needs and automates work processes.
“Many users are not excited by Legacy CRM. They enter, go through dozens of screens, deal with the meaningless entry of data, and end with a fragmented experience. The AI-born CRM rethinks, which makes the experience personal, intuitive and effective, “Kavasaki explained.
According to Creatio, AI should not be a supplement, but a major component of CRM, mainly changing the way business interacts with data, clients and internal processes.
Unlike the inherited solutions that require users to enter manually and analyze data, Creatio.Ai automates these tasks, allowing employees to focus on working with high value.
The company relies on leading third-party models and open source models and allows users to choose which models are best for the requirements and needs of their company.
AI agent labor force
One of the central topics of Creatio’s vision is the integration of human and “digital talent”, with AI agents who take on repetitive, time -consuming tasks, releasing human workers to concentrate on strategic and creative responsibilities.
Instead of an AI assistant of one -size AI, Creatio emphasizes personalized AI agents in accordance with individual users.
“We believe in AI agents, but they need to be customized. It’s not just a generic AI assistant – it’s “(you) agent” knows how you work, the tools you use, and how you like to communicate with them, “Kavasaki said.
Digital talents are integrated into daily work processes, operating in e -mail (Outlook), video conference (increase) and cooperation platforms (teams) to surface insights, automate tasks and assist decisions.
In addition, users do not require to switch between multiple applications; Instead, it provides a corresponding idea within the tools that employees already use.
“Instead of forcing users to adapt to AI, AI must adapt to users – whether it is built into Outlook, teams or other tools that already use daily,” Kawasaki noted.
In addition, while traditional CRM systems collect data, they usually require users to act on it manually. With Creatio’s digital talent, Creatio can autonomously analyze information, make recommendations, and even take predefined action.
This means automated follow -up, client segmentation, lead prioritization and real -time decision -making based on insights managed by AI.
This approach enables companies to scathing their operations on the market without increasing the number of number, by cope with common business challenges, such as increasing operating costs and talent shortages. With AI administrative weights, employees can spend more time promoting customer relationships and stimulating business growth.
“AI in the enterprise should not refer to job replacement; It should be about the release of employees to focus on creative and strategic tasks that lead to impact, “he added.
