Clari's Revenue Forecasting AI represents a paradigm shift from traditional spreadsheet-based forecasting methods that rely on subjective rep inputs and manager intuition. The system ingests data from CRM records, email engagement, calendar activities, call recordings, and historical win/loss patterns to generate probabilistic forecasts at the deal, segment, and company level. The AI continuously learns from forecast outcomes, improving accuracy over time by identifying which signals most reliably predict deal closure. Sales leaders can drill down from company-level forecasts to individual deals, understanding exactly which opportunities are contributing to or detracting from the number, with AI-generated explanations for each prediction. Achieve 95%+ forecast accuracy and eliminate end-of-quarter surprises by replacing gut-feel predictions with data-driven AI forecasts.

Using a proprietary LLM pipeline, Ava writes emails and LinkedIn messages that adapt tone, style and call‑to‑action to each individual prospect. The system employs a "Personalization Waterfall" that selects the most specific data point (e.g., recent funding, product launch) for inclusion, creating messages that read as if drafted by a senior sales rep. This results in higher open and reply rates compared with generic templates. Improved engagement metrics and response rates

Clari

The Pipeline Inspection module provides sales managers and revenue leaders with a comprehensive, real-time view of every deal in the pipeline, automatically scored and ranked by health indicators. Unlike static CRM reports, Clari's pipeline view dynamically updates as new engagement signals are captured, surfacing deals that are stalling, lacking executive engagement, or showing competitive threat indicators. The system analyzes deal velocity, stakeholder mapping, activity recency, and dozens of other signals to generate a composite health score for each opportunity. Color-coded visualizations make it immediately apparent which deals require attention, while drill-down capabilities reveal the specific factors contributing to each deal's risk profile. Identify at-risk deals 2-3 weeks earlier than traditional methods, enabling proactive intervention before opportunities are lost.
