What Is Hints AI?

Hints AI is an AI assistant that brings artificial intelligence into your sales process. It helps you set up and manage your CRM using everyday language — no manual data entry required. It can automatically update CRM fields and follow sales playbooks through simple dictation or texting, and it provides real-time virtual call transcripts for accurate sales forecasting. The goal is to help you capture more leads, log more activities, and close more deals while cutting down on admin time. Both self-hosted and cloud-based options are available, depending on your data security and customization needs.

Who’s Behind Hints AI?

The Hints Sales AI Assistant was founded by George Levin (CEO), Gleb Levin (COO), and Alex Loktev (CPO) in July 2021. The three had previously worked together at Getintent, an AI AdTech startup acquired in 2019, where they experienced firsthand the challenges of managing data flow between productivity tools. A team of 13 launched the beta version of Hints in November 2022, after securing $2.2 million in seed funding. The assistant has since been integrated with a range of productivity tools.
