Question 1

“I want build a marketing automation agent that focuses on ABM what should i consider?”

Answer
Partly answered

The account-based marketing playbook, the Campaign Agent's capabilities and the agent controls (permissions, approvals, activity log, pause) are covered. The site never says whether a custom agent can be built or configured, and the Campaign Agent page never mentions target accounts or buying groups.

Answer full page
Hourglass doesn't have you build an ABM agent from scratch: the Campaign Agent drafts plans, segments and content for target accounts, and your team approves everything before it goes out. This page covers the account-based playbook, what the Campaign Agent can do and the controls to set in Agent Hub, such as permissions, approvals and review.

Question 2

“How can Agents help me to close deals faster?”

Answer
Answered well

The close-deals playbook covers how agents speed up deals: the Data Agent explains which deals are at risk, and the Prospecting Agent prepares a one-page brief before each first call and drafts outreach for reps to approve. The Data Agent page also lists the accounts ready to buy.

Answer full page
Agents take on the research and admin that slow deals down, and your reps decide what goes out. This page covers the close-deals-faster habits, how the Prospecting Agent preps each call with a one-page brief, how the Data Agent flags accounts ready to buy, and how Revenue Hub gets quotes out the same day.

Question 3

“Smart CRM, close deals faster, customers, case studies, compare”

Answer
Partly answered

The free Smart CRM, the close-deals-faster habits, the legacy-suite comparison and short manufacturing stories are all covered. There are no full case studies: each story is a quote and two figures. /customers shows only three stories, not the manufacturing, banking, retail and software ones on the industry pages.

Question 4

“What is everyone doing with AI agents right now with your products?”

Answer
Partly answered

/products/agents explains what each agent does and shows one story, a software company using the Data Agent. Agent use by other customers is spread across industry pages and never gathered in one place, and no manufacturing story or section mentions an agent at all.

Question 5

“But I am in banking”

Answer
Partly answered

The financial services page shows banks and insurers using agents: the Customer Agent drafting member replies for staff approval, the Data Agent telling relationship managers who to call, and agents drafting renewal outreach that compliance signs off. The Agent Hub page, where visitors look for how teams use agents, shows only a software company's story and no banking example.
