Ten people on Otter's Business tier runs $3,600 a year, and getting those transcripts out through an API means talking to sales. Google put a speech-to-text model in its own API on Wednesday at roughly thirty cents an hour of audio that hands back text with the ums already gone. The bill it deletes is the cleanup pass, not the seat.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
The automation has been parked since February because somebody said the CRM has to be clean first. It reads four fields and touches about three thousand records. The cleanup that actually gates it is an afternoon, and the four-week version was never going to hold anyway.

Pipedream's free plan lets your agent log in to three of your tools. Unlimited is $588 a year, and letting your clients connect their own accounts starts at $1,188. OpenConnector does the same job under Apache 2.0 on a box you own, and the real bill is not the hosting.

Claude now carries one memory across chat and Cowork, and exposes it as short files you can open and correct. The catch is that the file belongs to a person, not to a company, and there is no way to publish the canonical one.

On July 30 OpenAI cut its cheap model by 80 percent and left the flagship sitting at $5 and $30. Over the weekend the flagship moved too, quietly, to $4 and $20, with an expiry date printed beside it and the software you actually pay for not a cent cheaper.

Microsoft 365 Copilot runs $18 a user a month on an annual commitment, on top of the Microsoft 365 licence you already pay for, and what it hands back is a draft somebody still has to open and finish. OpenWorker is an MIT-licensed desktop app that connects to the same inbox, calendar and CRM and is built around finishing the job instead.

The email is drafted. Everyone is expected to be using AI by October, and yes, we will ask about it at review time. Send it and a number comes back. The number is wrong, and now it lives in a personnel file.

Anthropic's most capable generally available model cannot be run with zero data retention at all, by policy, on any platform. On Wednesday OpenAI announced it is building the machinery specifically so it never has to ask you for that trade. Which vendor holds your client files, and for how long, is now something you can look up before you build.

Ten people who need to make a diagram costs $2,400 a year on Miro's Business tier, and most of those diagrams never get made anyway. Diagram Design is an MIT-licensed skill that draws them inside the coding agent you already pay for, and it went past 22,000 stars in a week.
The daily build
Every CRM import begins with a dirty spreadsheet. We built a zero-setup, in-browser sanitizer that splits names, strips tracking parameters from domains, cleans phone numbers, and catches duplicates before they corrupt your database.

The six-step flow that has handled every inbound lead for two years costs about two thousand tasks a month and never surprises you. Every vendor now wants you to rebuild it as an agent. The test for whether you should is one sentence long, and the vendors published it themselves.
