# Ask Sumble

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Beta** — Ask Sumble is actively being developed. Functionality may change.
{% endhint %}

Ask Sumble is an AI agent built into the Sumble web app. It combines Sumble's job market intelligence with web search, code execution, and file generation so you can research accounts, surface prospects, rank your book of business, and run sales plays — all in a conversational interface, without leaving your browser.

Ask Sumble runs on the same underlying agent as the [Slack Agent](/slack-agent/slack-agent.md), so everything you can do in Slack you can do here, with the added context of your Sumble account and the ability to generate and download files.

Ask Sumble is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. [**Try it now →**](https://sumble.com/agent)

## What you can ask

Ask Sumble can answer anything that touches Sumble's data or general research. A few categories to get you started:

**Account research**

* "Give me an intelligence brief on Stripe."
* "What's the tech stack at Datadog? Which tools have they added in the last 6 months?"
* "Are there any hiring signals at Snowflake that suggest they're expanding into Europe?"

**Prospecting**

* "Find me 10 accounts that look like our top customer — data companies, 200–2,000 employees, hiring data engineers."
* "Which companies in fintech are actively hiring for Kafka? Pull their names, LinkedIn URLs, and employee counts."
* "Here's a list of accounts from our CRM. Which ones are showing buying signals in Sumble right now?"

**Pipeline and prioritization**

* "Rank these 20 accounts by hiring activity over the last 90 days."
* "Which of my open opportunities have grown their engineering headcount by more than 20% this year?"
* "Put together a quick battle card comparing how our three biggest prospects use Python versus Go."

**Sales play preparation**

* "Draft a personalized outreach email for the VP of Engineering at Acme based on their recent hiring trends."
* "Summarize the key signals for my top 5 accounts in a format I can paste into a slide."
* "Upload this spreadsheet of contacts and tell me which ones work at companies actively hiring for our category."

## Attaching files

You can attach files to any message and Ask Sumble will read them in-context. Supported formats include documents (PDF, Word, plain text, RTF), spreadsheets (Excel, OpenDocument, CSV), presentations (PowerPoint, OpenDocument), and images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP).

Ask Sumble can also generate files for you — spreadsheets, CSVs, slide decks, Word documents, PDFs — and make them available to download directly in the conversation.

## Leaving a conversation to run

A longer question can take a few minutes, and you don't have to sit and watch it. Send the question and carry on working elsewhere in Sumble — the answer keeps being written to the conversation while you do.

When a conversation has been answered since you last looked at it, a green dot appears beside it in your conversation list, and Ask Sumble in the left-hand nav shows how many conversations are waiting. Both clear when you open the conversation.

## Web search

When it's useful, Ask Sumble supplements Sumble data with live web results — for example, checking for recent news about a prospect or validating a claim about a company's product — and cites its sources.

## Memory

Ask Sumble maintains two layers of memory:

* **Conversation memory** — context carries across follow-up messages in the same conversation, so you can build on earlier answers without repeating yourself.
* **Persistent memory** — separately, Ask Sumble remembers your preferences, goals, and account context across different conversations. Share your ICP or priorities once, and it can draw on them the next time you start a new conversation.

## The model

Ask Sumble runs on **Claude Sonnet 5** by Anthropic.

### A note on AI accuracy

Like all large language models, Claude Sonnet 5 can occasionally produce incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information. Sumble's job market data is refreshed daily, but the model's general knowledge has a training cutoff and may not reflect the most recent events outside Sumble's dataset.

Use Ask Sumble as a research and synthesis tool, not as a source of record. Where possible, Ask Sumble links directly to the underlying Sumble records in its responses — organization pages, signal views, people profiles, job posts — so you can click through and verify what it's drawing from. For high-stakes decisions — pricing, legal, or financial — also verify against primary sources.

## Credits

Each Ask Sumble response consumes credits from your plan's monthly allowance. Responses are priced using [API credit pricing](/web-app/exports-credits/credits-and-exports.md) for data lookups and tools, as well as Claude token pricing for the underlying model. More complex requests — multiple Sumble data lookups, web searches, or large file processing — use more credits than a simple account summary.

You can check your remaining credits in [Account Settings → Credits Usage](https://sumble.com/account/usage).
