Backstory vs. Base

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.

Base is creating the AI Engagement OS for post-sale growth. Most B2B companies invest heavily in winning customers - but lack the infrastructure to engage them after the deal closes. The result: fragmented customer journeys, low product adoption, missed expansion opportunities, and preventable churn. Base fixes that. We give companies a single platform to orchestrate the entire post-sale customer lifecycle — across onboarding, adoption, expansion, advocacy, and retention.
