Capsule CRM + OpenAI is the most-requested combo we see. This playbook covers the four workflow shapes teams actually ship with them.

Every new Capsule CRM record → LLM classifier → tag write-back. Cheap, fast, transformative.
Draft
LLM drafts a next action; human approves; workflow writes back to Capsule CRM. Keeps humans in the loop.
Enrich
LLM extracts structured fields from unstructured Capsule CRM notes. Populate CRM fields you never had time to fill.
