What I built: An AI that reads the history and drafts the reply
Before a rep replies, the AI reads the CRM, email, LinkedIn chat and call notes, then drafts the reply. A person still checks and sends. Saves 30+ min per contact (self-reported).
30+ min saved per contact (self-reported)~80% less context work (self-reported)
Verified = seen in the system. Self-reported = my own measure.
30 minutes of digging before every reply.
A good reply needs context: the last call, the last email, the LinkedIn thread, the deal stage.
That context lived in four places. Reps spent 30+ minutes pulling it together before they could write one line.
One assistant reads it all first.
A Reply Assistant in n8n. Ask it in chat, or call it from the CRM over an API.
It pulls the CRM record, the Outlook thread, the LinkedIn conversation and the meeting summaries.
NVIDIA Nemotron (via NIM) writes a short brief first, then a draft reply. A person reviews and sends.
A meeting-ingest workflow keeps the assistant’s meeting notes current.
Inside the CRM, the built-in AI chat answers “summarise this person” with a snapshot, key points and a suggested reply.
Step by step
A rep asks for a reply in chat, or clicks from the CRM.
n8n pulls the CRM record, the Outlook thread (Microsoft Graph), the HeyReach LinkedIn chat and the meeting notes.
Nemotron writes a short brief on the contact.
Nemotron writes the draft reply from that brief.
The rep edits and sends. Nothing goes out on its own.

How I built it
I worked inside the team’s own tools: their self-hosted n8n and their self-hosted Twenty CRM.
I wrote the workflows with Claude Code as my AI coding tool (self-reported). I decided what to build and checked every run.
Read-only probe workflows tested each API before anything wrote to it.
