Instead of designing around human-only workflows, it exposes a structured API that lets autonomous agents create contacts, update deal stages, send follow-ups, and query pipelines — making it the first CRM where agents are first-class users alongside humans. ## What Comp AI CRM Does - Manages contacts, companies, deals, and activities through a standard CRM data model - Provides an agent-friendly API so AI workflows can read and write CRM data programmatically - Tracks deal pipelines with customizable stages, probability scoring, and revenue forecasting - Logs every agent and human interaction for a full audit trail - Supports email integration for automated outreach and follow-up sequences ## Architecture Overview The application is built with TypeScript and Next.js on top of a PostgreSQL database. The API layer is designed for both human UI consumption and agent tool-use, returning structured JSON responses that fit naturally into LLM tool-call schemas. Authentication supports API keys for agent access alongside standard OAuth for human users. The frontend uses a modern React component library with real-time updates via WebSockets. ## Self-Hosting & Configuration - Deploy with Docker Compose for a quick single-server setup - Configure the PostgreSQL connection string and email SMTP credentials in environment variables - Set API keys for agent access through the admin dashboard - Customize deal pipeline stages and contact fields via the settings UI - Supports SSO integration with external identity providers ## Key Features - Agent-first API design with structured outputs for LLM tool-use - Full audit log of every agent and human action for compliance - Customizable deal pipeline with drag-and-drop stage management - Built-in email sequences with open and click tracking - Real-time collaborative editing when multiple users or agents work simultaneously ## Comparison with Similar Tools - **Twenty CRM** — open-source Salesforce alternative; Comp AI CRM adds native agent integration - **Salesforce** — enterprise CRM; Comp AI CRM is free and optimized for agentic workflows - **HubSpot** — freemium SaaS; Comp AI CRM is fully self-hostable with no feature gates - **Attio** — modern CRM; Comp AI CRM is open source and agent-native ## FAQ **Q: Can human users and AI agents use the CRM at the same time?** A: Yes. The system treats both as authenticated actors with configurable permissions. **Q: What database does it use?** A: PostgreSQL. The schema is managed with Prisma migrations. **Q: Is there a hosted version?** A: The team offers a cloud-hosted option, but the open-source edition is fully functional. **Q: How do I connect an AI agent?** A: Generate an API key in the admin panel and use it as a bearer token in your agent's HTTP requests. ## Sources - https://github.com/trycompai/crm --- Source: https://tokrepo.com/en/workflows/asset-1c7c97e0 Author: Script Depot
