Zoho is adding AI features across its CRM, including agents that can be summoned through Ask Zia. Check Zoho's own release notes for what is live on your plan.

Decide first

  1. Data. Clean duplicates and agree which fields are required.
  2. Access. Decide what each role, and each agent, may read and change.
  3. Measures. Pick two numbers, such as response time and win rate, and record them before you start.

An implementation partner can run this as a short workshop before any build. Ask for the output in writing.
