Backstory

Backstory (formerly People.ai) is the Revenue Answers Platform for GTM leaders. Revenue leaders ask the same questions every day: Is this deal real? Where's my risk? What do I focus on next? Backstory gives you straight answers - grounded in 100% of actual revenue activity, not CRM guesses. With more than a decade of training AI models on billions of sales interactions, Backstory connects every signal to the right accounts and opportunities and delivers answers where you already work - whether that's your CRM, Claude, Copilot, or other AI tools you already use.
