# Piper Chat: On-Demand AI Assistant for Sales Teams

> Use Piper Chat to ask questions about your calls, get CRM context, log meetings by voice, and manage tasks — all in real time via web or WhatsApp.

Piper Chat is your interactive AI assistant — always available, always in context. Unlike Agents that run on a schedule in the background, Chat responds to you in real time. You can ask questions about specific calls or deals, request pipeline summaries, log meetings on the fly, and get immediate answers without setting anything up in advance.

## What Chat Can Do

* **Answer questions about your calls** — search by meeting title or participant name to pull up summaries, key moments, or action items from any recorded conversation
* **Provide CRM context** — surface deal data, opportunity stages, and contact details directly in the conversation (HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive users)
* **Create meetings on your behalf** — log new meetings without leaving the chat interface
* **Log offline meetings** — capture in-person or unrecorded meetings via voice note or typed summary
* **Analyze multiple meetings at once** — Chat can analyze up to 100 meetings in a single query when you need a cross-call view

<Note>
  **CRM context depends on your integration.** When you've connected **HubSpot**, **Salesforce**, or **Pipedrive**, Chat can pull deal, contact, and opportunity data from your CRM. Without a connected CRM, Chat answers from the transcripts, notes, and tasks stored in Piper.
</Note>

## How to Start a Chat

You can access Chat from anywhere inside Piper using the floating bubble, or start a dedicated conversation from the Chats tab.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the chat interface">
    Click the **'Ask me anything'** bubble in the lower-right corner of any Piper page. This opens Chat without leaving your current view.

    Alternatively, navigate to the **Chats** tab in the left sidebar for a full-screen conversation experience.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new conversation">
    In the Chats tab, click **New Chat** in the top-right corner to open a fresh session.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Type your question or request">
    Enter your question in the message field. When you open the Chat Agent, suggested prompts appear automatically — click any one to auto-fill it, then add your specific details before sending.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Getting Better Answers

Chat works best when you give it context. The more specific your question, the more precise and useful the response.

Add context by including:

* **A specific deal or opportunity** — for example, "What came up in the Acme Corp renewal call last week?"
* **A contact or company name** — "What has Sarah at TechFlow mentioned about pricing?"
* **A set of meetings or a time range** — "Summarize all discovery calls from the past two weeks"
* **A specific meeting type** — "Look at my QBR calls this quarter and tell me which accounts flagged concerns"

<Tip>
  If you're not sure how to phrase your question, start with one of the suggested prompts that appear when you open Chat. They're designed to surface the most common use cases and can be edited to match your specific needs.
</Tip>

## Using Chat on WhatsApp

Piper Chat is also available on WhatsApp, so you can interact with your revenue data from your phone — even when you're between meetings or away from your desk.

### What You Can Do on WhatsApp

* **Send voice notes** — Piper processes audio messages like a regular call, identifies related deals, and extracts key information automatically
* **Log offline or in-person meetings** — send a voice note describing the meeting and Piper captures it as a logged conversation
* **Ask pipeline questions** — get updates on deals, recent calls, or contact activity without opening a browser
* **Add context to a call or deal** — type a note or record a voice message to attach additional detail to an existing conversation

### Setting Up WhatsApp

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations settings">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** in your Piper workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable WhatsApp">
    Click the toggle for **WhatsApp**. Select your country, enter your phone number, then click **Confirm**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your number">
    You'll receive a WhatsApp message containing a 6-digit verification code. Enter the code in the modal that appears in Piper, then click **Confirm**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once verified, you can message the Piper Agent directly from your WhatsApp account.

<Accordion title="How do I disable WhatsApp?">
  Go to **Settings → Integrations** and toggle off WhatsApp. Your number will be unlinked immediately.

## Chat vs. Agents: Which Should You Use?

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Use Chat when…" icon="message">
    You want an answer right now. Chat is ideal for on-demand questions, quick deal lookups, logging a meeting in the moment, or getting a fast summary before jumping on a call.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use Agents when…" icon="robot">
    You want something to happen automatically and repeatedly. Agents are the right tool for recurring workflows — weekly coaching summaries, deal risk alerts, sentiment reports — that shouldn't require manual prompting each time.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Chat can create tasks and log meetings on your behalf. For structured, scheduled automation — like sending a weekly pipeline digest or scoring every call against your playbook — use [Agents](./overview) instead.
