A CRM platform is software that centralises customer and prospect data, tracks interactions across the sales and marketing funnel, and gives teams a shared view of every relationship the business holds.

A ChatGPT alternative is any AI language model or assistant that can perform similar tasks to ChatGPT, including writing, research, summarisation, coding, and analysis, but is built on a different model, by a different company, with different strengths and trade-offs.
