The problem it solves

Execs walk into high-stakes dinners cold, with no time to dig through the CRM, recent calls, and email to remember where each account stands. This agent does that prep the afternoon before, surfacing deal stage, current spend, open commitments, and fresh intel so account owners arrive prepared instead of improvising over appetizers.

Who it's for

  • Account executives and enterprise sellers hosting client dinners
  • Chief Revenue Officers and VPs of Sales attending executive events
  • RevOps and sales-enablement teams supporting field sellers
  • Founders and customer-facing execs at B2B companies
  • Customer success leaders managing expansion and renewal accounts

What it does

  1. 1

    Scan the calendar for qualifying events

    It checks your connected calendar for events in the next few days whose titles match your configured event keywords, like dinner or executive event.

  2. 2

    Identify the external attendees

    It pulls the confirmed guest list and keeps only external people, skipping any event where every invitee is from your own company domain.

  3. 3

    Research each guest across your systems

    For every external attendee it pulls deal data from your CRM, the latest call transcripts from your recorder, recent email threads, and company news from the web in parallel.

  4. 4

    Pull deal stage, spend, and commitments

    From the CRM and calls it captures deal stage and value, current ARR, last-call topics, open commitments, and any unresolved objections.

  5. 5

    Flag intel worth knowing

    It surfaces leadership changes, funding, acquisitions, and the specific intel areas you told it to always watch for.

  6. 6

    Build a tight per-attendee brief

    Each guest gets a structured five-to-seven-bullet brief covering last call, spend today, expansion angle, intel, and what to watch out for, with no fabricated quotes or numbers.

  7. 7

    Post one briefing per event to Slack

    It posts a single message per qualifying event to your chosen Slack channel so account owners can review and reply with corrections before the event time.

Key benefits

  • Execs arrive at every dinner knowing exact deal stage, spend, and history for each guest
  • Hours of pre-event CRM and call-note digging replaced by a briefing waiting in Slack
  • Open commitments and unresolved objections surfaced before they become awkward in the room
  • Fresh company intel — funding, leadership changes, news — folded into every brief
  • Account owners get a draft they can correct, not a black-box summary they have to trust blindly
  • Never walk into a customer event without context, even for last-minute additions to the calendar

Sample use cases

A VP of Sales is hosting a four-person customer dinner tomorrow night across three different accounts.

By 4 PM the agent posts a single Slack briefing with each guest's deal stage, current ARR, last-call topic, and any open commitment, so the VP arrives knowing every story in the room.

An AE adds a late-stage prospect to a dinner invite the morning of the event.

The agent picks up the new external attendee, pulls their CRM record and recent emails, notes a legal redline blocker, and flags it so the AE keeps the dinner relationship-focused.

A CRO is meeting a renewal account where usage has quietly dropped.

The brief shows two inactive seats and a renewal 60 days out, plus a recent VP of Sales job posting signaling an org change, so the CRO handles it carefully without making it the whole conversation.

A planning meeting titled with the word dinner appears on the calendar.

The agent sees every invitee is internal, recognizes it is not a customer event, and skips it instead of posting noise to the channel.

Key integrations

  • Salesforce or HubSpot

    CRM used to pull deal name, stage, value, close date, ARR, and recent rep notes for each account.

  • Gong, Chorus, Fireflies, or Otter

    Call recorder used to pull recent transcripts for last-call topics, commitments, and objections.

  • Google Calendar or Outlook

    Calendar scanned for upcoming dinners and executive events and their attendee lists.

  • Gmail or Outlook email

    Email history searched for recent threads, open questions, and unfollowed commitments with each company.

  • Slack

    Where the per-event briefings are posted for account owners to review and correct before the event.

Sales dinners are where large deals get unstuck, but they only work when the people at the table remember exactly where each relationship stands. The afternoon-before timing is deliberate: it leaves room for account owners to read the briefing, catch anything stale, and reply with corrections while there is still time to act on a forgotten commitment.

Because the agent caps large events at the six most senior attendees and lists the rest by name, even a thirty-person customer reception produces a briefing you can actually read on your phone in the car on the way over.

Getting started

  1. Import the workspace into Gamut — Drag the template zip into the agent import dialog or install it from the marketplace to set up the agent in your workspace.
  2. Run the agent-onboarding setup — On first import the onboarding interview asks which calendar, CRM, call recorder, and email to use, your event keywords and company domain, the Slack channel, and your briefing methodology, then connects the accounts and schedules the daily run.
  3. Give it a first task — Ask it to scan the calendar for the next three days and list any qualifying dinner or event invites with their external attendees before you run the full research.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pre-Event Dinner Briefing agent do?

It is an AI meeting assistant that scans your calendar for upcoming sales dinners and executive events, researches each external guest across your CRM, call recordings, email, and the web, and posts a per-attendee briefing to Slack. Each brief covers deal stage, current spend, last-call topics, expansion angles, and intel worth knowing before you walk in.

Does the agent act on its own without my approval?

It only researches and posts a briefing — it never emails attendees, edits deals, or takes action on your behalf. Every brief is explicitly framed as a draft for account owners to review and correct before the event, so a human stays in control of what happens in the room.

Which systems does it work with?

It connects to a CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot, a call recorder such as Gong, Chorus, Fireflies, or Otter, a calendar in Google Calendar or Outlook, email in Gmail or Outlook, and Slack for delivery. Most connect over OAuth, so no API keys are required by default.

How is this different from doing the prep manually or using a generic AI meeting assistant?

Most tools labeled as the best AI meeting assistant focus on transcribing or summarizing a single live call, like Fathom or Krisp. This agent runs before the event, pulls together your CRM, calls, email, and web research across every attendee, and delivers one consolidated briefing per event — work that would otherwise take an account owner an hour of digging per dinner.

What happens if there is no data for an attendee?

The agent never fabricates a quote, deal value, or signal. If the CRM has no record it notes a likely new relationship, and if a call recorder, email, or web search returns nothing it says so clearly in the brief so you know exactly what is known and what is not.

How much does the agent cost?

The template itself is free to import from the Gamut marketplace. You run it inside your own Gamut workspace and connect your existing CRM, calendar, call recorder, and Slack accounts, so there is no separate subscription for the agent beyond your Gamut plan and the tools you already use.
