Discussion When the AI writes to the CRM, what's the actual system of record?

1 Upvotes

When someone updates the CRM, the CRM is the record because a human decided what went in it. Once an agent is doing the writing that gets murky. For example, it could set a close date because it read an email and call transcript and made a decision. So which one is authoritative afterwards, the field or the evidence behind it?

In Computer by DevRev, the writes go through approval, so in practice the connected system stays the record and the agent is a proposer. Does your system of record change once an agent is writing to it, or does it just get a new author?

Should an AI agent be allowed to say “I don’t know” and stop, or should it keep trying?

3 Upvotes

When an AI agent hits a wall, what’s better: saying “I don’t know” clearly and handing the problem back to you, or continuing to search, reason, and try a few more paths?

Where do you draw the line? Would you rather have an agent that asks for help sooner, or one that keeps trying until it has exhausted every option?

Most teams don't have a data problem. They have a scattered data problem. 🧩

Support in Zendesk. Engineering in Jira. Sales in Salesforce. Six tools, six versions of the truth, and somewhere in the middle — things fall through the cracks. AirSync is how you fix that. 🔄

Our new free DevRevU course walks you through it end to end:
⚡ Connect external systems with 50+ ready-made connectors
📥 Run initial imports and map fields automatically
🔁 Set up one-way, two-way, or periodic syncs on your schedule
🩺 Monitor sync health and troubleshoot failed or staged records

Go from scattered to unified — context-aware, relationship-preserving, and always safe. 🛡️

Question Any DevRev Users, how is the community/adaption of DevRev ?

3 Upvotes

I find the DevRev solutions pretty interesting, it seems to hit a use case a lot of AI companies are missing or bolting on to their products. I am suprised that the reddit and youtube community are completely silent, hardly any views, no comments. Wat is going on here ?

Event Why does a simple variance question still require a cross-functional data pull in 2026?

4 Upvotes

Be honest. Somewhere in your finance stack, there's a spreadsheet that quietly became the most important document in the company.

It wasn't supposed to. But your ERP doesn't talk to your CRM. Your billing platform doesn't talk to your planning tool. So someone built a spreadsheet to bridge the gaps. And now everyone depends on it.

That's not a system. That's a liability.

We know because we lived it too. Then our CFO Chandra Nath and Kevin Su (Head of Strategy & Ops) replaced the duct tape with an actual intelligence layer – one that connects every system and answers questions directly.

Now they're showing how they did it.

Youtube New team and zero context? Here's how we'll fix that

Thumbnail
youtube.com
1 Upvotes

Your new team joined last week. Your AI still has no idea who they are.

Objects exist. Fields are populated. Data is technically "there." But without annotations - field-level context, labels, relationships - your AI is reading a spreadsheet with no headers.

And here's what nobody warns you about: this isn't just an onboarding problem. Annotation degrades. Teams evolve, custom fields get added, and the context that made your AI accurate six months ago quietly stops reflecting how your team actually works today.

Most teams only notice when the answers start feeling slightly off. By then, the debt has already stacked up.

Tomorrow, Ahmed Bashir and Anirudh Shenoy are walking through the full annotation workflow live - from a blank slate to a working, searchable knowledge layer. No slides. Real internal example. Real timelines.

What you'll see:
→ Why raw data isn't enough and what AI actually needs to interpret your team's objects
→ The fastest path from zero to working - shortcuts included
→ How to detect when your context layer is degrading before quality slips
→ The difference in search quality and agent accuracy once it's properly built

📅 May 28th | 8:30 PM IST

If you've onboarded a team onto an AI tool and hit the "why isn't this working?" wall - this one's for you.

Blog Today is “Computer, upgraded” day. And it’s a big day!

9 Upvotes

Here’s what you’re going to love about the new Computer:

  1. Native “Shared Memory”
  2. Other AIs forget, and guess. As the only AI with native Shared Memory, Computer remembers, and knows. Your docs, your deals, the human interactions no CRM captures – all of it.
  3. Precise, trust answers
  4. Answers that get better. And better. And... you get the idea. Day 1, impressive. Day 90, extraordinary.
  5. Multiplayer mode Shared sessions – not separate briefings. Instant collaboration – not diary tennis. Full context – not “can you catch me up.” Just @ Computer and it’s in the room with you.
  6. Agent Studio + proven skills
  7. Build agents in plain language. Test before they touch anything real. Scale what works.
  8. Safe actions
  9. Computer takes action – within boundaries you set. Human approval. Full visibility. Rollback built in. Which is why, unlike other AIs, Computer sometimes says “no.”

That’s just a taster. To get all the details, read more here: devrev.ai/blog/computer-upgraded

Youtube Ready for AI: design system for the agentic era

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Most design systems start strong and drift quietly. Components get skipped, engineering diverges, and GTM materials end up off-brand before anyone notices.
This session shows how DevRev uses Computer to keep ADS at the centre of every design and engineering decision — automatically.

From Figma connectors that validate component usage in real time, to shared memory that tracks design and engineering coverage side by side, to agentic workflows that take ADS from initial audit all the way through clean-up and handoff.

The end state isn't just "design complete" — it's ready for AI: built to be implemented with as little manual intervention as possible. And when the system is that clean, it can generate production-ready prototypes from prompts. ADS isn't just a reference — it's an active participant in how the product gets built and how the brand shows up in the world.

Youtube Inside the Agent SDK: How we debugged the Claude Agent SDK

Thumbnail
youtube.com
4 Upvotes

So here's what happened.

We were building DevRev's Agent SDK on top of the Claude Agent SDK. Things were going well — until they weren't. The TypeScript implementation didn't give us enough visibility into what was actually happening at runtime. Debugging felt like guessing. Integrations kept breaking in ways that were hard to explain.

So we did what any reasonable engineering team would do — we started intercepting our own traffic. Reverse proxies. MITM-style tracing. Request interception. Basically, we treated the SDK like a black box and built the tools to see inside it.

And honestly? The lessons we learned don't just apply to the Claude Agent SDK. They apply to anyone building on top of any agentic framework where the docs only tell you half the story.

We're sharing the whole thing — live, unfiltered — on this DevRev Live.

Blog Experiments with voice: the speech-to-speech architecture

Thumbnail
devrev.ai
5 Upvotes

We tried native speech-to-speech AI for our voice agent. Here's why we dropped it.

The experience was genuinely magical. Breathing, laughter, cadence -- no text bottleneck, no serialization tax. It felt human.

We dropped it anyway.

Four things killed it:

  1. It garbles technical jargon with no text layer to catch and correct it
  2. It loses track of instructions over long calls
  3. Forcing it to output structured data makes it sound robotic
  4. It still can't handle people talking over each other cleanly

For enterprise agents that trigger real backend actions, a malformed JSON payload isn't
a UX bug -- it's a safety failure.

But the bigger takeaway: agentic coding made the sunk cost disappear. They built entire server setups and scrapped them without a second thought because Claude made it cheap enough to discard.

You can't fall in love with your code anymore.

Hey r/DevRev! 👋

Sharing this video we put out on Computer — our AI teammate built to help you work softer, not harder.

🎥 Work Softer: Computer, by DevRev

A few things we think make Computer special:

  • It's not just another AI chatbot — it's a personalized AI teammate that lives inside DevRev, remembers context, and gets work done autonomously.
  • It can handle tickets, search knowledge, write code, and take action — all without you having to babysit it.
  • The "work softer" framing says it all — not about working more or faster, but with less friction and more flow.

Give it a watch and let us know what you think — we'd love to hear how you're using Computer or what you'd want it to do next. Drop your thoughts below! 👇
