Crono
#495 most-usedAI sales orchestration for B2B outbound teams
Crono is an AI-powered sales orchestration platform that centralises B2B prospecting, contact enrichment, multichannel outreach sequences, and CRM data in one place. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update contacts, companies, and deals, enrich leads, manage sequences, log activities, and generate tasks — keeping your pipeline moving without manual data entry.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual contact entry, CSV import processing, sequence enrollment, post-call note logging, and weekly pipeline export — the high-frequency repetitive tasks that consume SDR and sales ops time every day.
What your Crono agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Crono × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound lead enrolled in sequence within a minute
When a prospect fills in the website demo request form, the agent creates a Crono contact with all form fields populated, deduplicates against existing records using Search Contacts, enrolls the contact in the ICP fast-track sequence, and creates a deal in the appropriate pipeline — all within about a minute of form submission, before any SDR even opens their inbox.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.
