How it works
Up and running
in under 3 minutes.
01
Connect your Gmail

One OAuth click. Read-only access — Base9 never sends email on your behalf. We pull the last 120 days of conversations and sync automatically from then on. Google Calendar connects at the same time.

02
Your CRM builds itself

Every business domain in your inbox becomes a company record. Contacts are linked automatically by email domain. AI classifies each company as a prospect, vendor, or noise — high-confidence prospects enter your feed, borderline ones go to a quick review queue.

03
Open Base9 each morning

Your prioritised follow-up list is waiting. Click any company to see the full relationship history, an AI summary of where things stand, and a contextual draft email — ready to send in under a minute.

Relationship intelligence
AI tracks where every deal
actually stands.
Exploring
Early stage, no commitment yet

You've been in contact but nothing concrete has happened. Base9 watches for buying signals — questions about pricing, product fit, timeline — and prompts you to move the conversation forward.

AI task: "Send the case study they asked about on your last call"
Moving
Active back-and-forth, momentum building

Emails are going both ways. The relationship has traction. Base9 makes sure you don't drop the ball — surfacing who's waiting on a reply, flagging when momentum starts to stall.

AI task: "Reply to their pricing question — they've been waiting 3 days"
Dormant
Gone quiet — needs a nudge

The thread has gone cold. Base9 catches this before it becomes a lost deal — surfaces the relationship with full context and a draft reconnect message so restarting takes 60 seconds.

AI task: "Reconnect — no contact in 3 weeks, they were interested in Q3"
Features
Everything a founder needs.
Nothing they don't.
AI-prioritised Today feed

Every day: a ranked list of who needs to hear from you, with a one-line reason for each. They replied and are waiting. You sent last and it's been too long. They've gone quiet. No pipeline to review, no guessing.

✓ Automatic — nothing to configure
Living relationship context

Click any company and instantly see what's been discussed, where things stand, and what to do next — built from your actual emails and meetings. The AI updates the context after every sync cycle, preserving key facts across months.

✓ Always up to date
AI-drafted follow-ups

One click produces a full draft email — grounded in the real conversation history, specific to that company and contact. Edit lightly and send. No blank compose window, no wondering what to write.

✓ Context-aware, not generic
Inbound lead triage

Drop a webhook URL into your website contact form. Every submission lands in an Inbound queue. Review it, hit Qualify, and Base9 creates the company, contact, and a note — ready to appear in your Today feed the same day. No copy-paste, no spreadsheet hand-off.

✓ Website → CRM in one click
Gmail and Google Calendar sync — contacts, emails, and meetings in one place
Auto-classified companies — prospects separated from vendors automatically
Relationship temperature — AI re-evaluates exploring / moving / dormant each cycle
Pipeline kanban — drag companies across Lead → In Talks → Proposal → Negotiating → Won / Lost
Meeting prep briefs — upcoming meetings surfaced with AI context the day before
Transcript upload — paste meeting notes and AI updates the task list immediately
Notes log on every company and contact — searchable from anywhere with ⌘K
Customer flag — separate your active accounts from prospects, lock it when you're sure
Outcome tracking — log what happened after each outreach, AI learns from it
Paste import — drop a Google Sheets export into Contacts and Base9 auto-links everything
The company drawer
Your full relationship history,
on demand.

Click any company in your Today feed and a drawer slides open with everything you need — who you've been talking to, what was said, what the AI thinks, and a draft ready to go. No switching tabs, no digging through threads.

All contacts at the company with their email addresses
Recent email threads pulled live from Gmail
AI summary of your relationship and where it stands right now
One-click AI follow-up draft, specific to this company's context

Why founders quit CRMs
The maintenance always kills it.
Every single time.
Every CRM you've tried
Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion…
  • You log contacts manually — until you stop logging
  • Only as current as your last manual update
  • Shows pipeline stages, not who to actually call today
  • Maintaining it costs more time than the insight it gives
  • Abandoned in 30 days because the upkeep breaks you
Base9 CRM
Your Gmail is the data entry
  • Companies appear the moment you email someone new
  • Always current — syncs automatically in the background
  • Answers one question: who do I follow up with today
  • Zero maintenance cost, ever
  • Still useful on day 90 because it requires nothing from you
Access
Built for a specific
kind of founder.
