# Custom Answers

> Create AI-generated answer fields to capture qualitative insights and summaries for deal analysis

## Fill in Your Data Gaps with AI

Custom Answers lets you create a prompt once and automatically run it across all your deals. AI analyzes the complete deal context - including conversations, decision drivers, and outcomes - to generate consistent insights that help you understand patterns and fill gaps in your data.

## 🎯 What's New

**Create Custom Prompts**
Write questions you want answered about every deal. Prompts are fully customizable - they can be simple questions or more complex ones.

* "What was the main objection?"
* "Was a champion identified?" (True/False)
* "What coaching advice would help this rep?"

**Automatic Analysis**
AI runs your prompts against deal context including:

* CRM notes and fields
* Deal story and summaries
* Call transcripts and quotes
* Win/Loss Interviews

**Use Your Data**

* View and edit answers for any deal
* Export as part of a deal csv export
* Chat with your Deals using the AI Assistant
* Push answers to your CRM (available on Enterprise plans)

## 🚀 Key Benefits

**Fill Data Gaps**
