Dench
Find, reach, and close customers autonomously — replaces legacy CRMs and manual GTM
Dench is an AI revenue engine that combines a built-in CRM with AI agents that enrich leads, send follow-ups, score deals, book meetings, and forecast pipeline. It replaces legacy CRM systems and multiple GTM tools with a single workspace where agents work alongside teams. The platform includes a headless CRM accessible via REST API, CLI, and webhooks, meeting recording with automatic summaries filed into the pipeline, project boards and tasks shared by teams and agents, and automations triggered by schedules or CRM events.
Key capabilities include lead enrichment, SDR outreach, deal scoring, meeting booking, and pipeline forecasting. Dench connects to tools including Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Zoom, LinkedIn, and others through a large integration catalog. Agents can be given additional skills, and the platform supports communication via iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, SMS, Slack, Discord, and web chat. The core engine is open source and can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure, or run on Dench Cloud in the United States or European Union regions with encryption in transit and at rest.
Dench is packaged as a seat-based subscription with monthly or annual billing. A Max edition includes AI credits, agents for CRM, support, finance, and meeting prep, the built-in CRM with headless API, overnight automations, connected mailboxes, sandbox computer use, and access to 1,500+ apps. An Enterprise edition adds org-wide deployment, a dedicated success manager, AI consultancy, managed campaigns, pooled usage, and security features including HIPAA BAA, SSO, SCIM, and audit logs. A free plan is available for AI agents.
