Pipedrive has released its Nova AI meeting tool worldwide for all CRM subscribers at no additional cost. The software automatically records calls, generates transcripts, and drafts CRM updates to reduce administrative burdens for sales staff.

Pipedrive serves over 105,000 companies globally, with 47% of sales staff currently reporting a 24-hour delay in completing CRM updates. The tool was tested by Snug, a platform managing 73,000 property managers and 1.5 million renters.
