Can the AI delete my existing CRM records?

No. The AI only uses the log_activity tool to add new information or update specific fields you request.

Does the AI automatically record my Zoom calls?

No. You have to give the transcript or your notes to your AI client first. The AI then uses that text to update Copper.

Can I use this to change deal stages?

Yes. If you tell your agent that a deal has moved to a new stage, it can update that record in Copper.

Will the AI create new contacts by itself?

No. The AI only works with the contacts and deals that already exist in your Copper CRM.

Do I need to use a specific format for my notes?

No. You can just talk to your agent in plain English. It handles the formatting for the CRM.
