Overview
TwelveAI is a next-generation CRM system in which artificial intelligence automates customer communications, lead management and business operations.
The project involved the development of two products:

Web SaaS CRM

for comprehensive management and control of business processes

Mobile app CRM

for quick monitoring and decision-making on the go

Problem
Most CRM systems are designed according to the following principle: a single interface is adapted for use on different devices.
As a result, the mobile version becomes a scaled-down version of the web system:

• overloaded tables
• complex filters
• a large number of actions
• high cognitive load

However, the study showed that users interact with the product differently depending on the device

Challenges
From CRM to Business Management

The main goal of the project was to rethink the traditional approach to CRM and create a system that helps business owners make decisions faster by leveraging AI capabilities and the strengths of each platform.

01. Separate the roles of the website and the mobile app

How can we distribute functionality among the platforms so that each one addresses its own specific task and does not duplicate the work of another?

02. Simplify the complex CRM experience

How can you reduce the number of steps and screens without losing control over business processes?

03. Build Trust in AI

How can we explain the actions of artificial intelligence to users and make automation predictable?

04. Create a unified experience within the ecosystem

How can we maintain consistency between the web and the mobile app across different usage scenarios?

Product Strategy
Instead of adapting the web interface, I split the system into two products

Web CRM: How to manage your business?

Key scenarios:

• Lead management
• Funnel management
• Customer management
• Analytics
• AI settings
• Automation
• Reports

For most entrepreneurs, experts and bloggers, this process is too complex and expensive.

Mobile CRM: What’s happening right now?

Key scenarios:

• Quick business overview
• Monitoring AI actions
• Validating decisions
•  Customer engagement
• Quick actions

3. Irregular postingMost content plans fall through due to the labour-intensive nature of production.

Hypotheses
01. Templates instead of manual configuration

By dividing tasks between the web and the mobile app, users will be able to carry out their workflows more quickly without overloading the interface.

desision:

I have distributed the functionality between the platforms:
Web CRM — business management (complex processes)
Mobile CRM — monitoring and quick actions

Expected impact:

• ↓ Cognitive Load
• ↑ Mobile Adoption
• ↑ Task Completion Rate

02. Transparent AI Builds Trust

If we explain how AI works, users will have more trust in automation.
One of the main problems with AI products is the “black box” effect.

desision:

A separate AI Activity Feed has been created, where each action is accompanied by an explanation and available user actions.

Expected impact:

• ↑ AI Approval Rate
• ↓ AI Override Rate
• ↑ User Trust

03. Quick Actions Reduce Friction

If you break down complex workflows into a few quick steps, users will be able to work with the CRM directly from their smartphones.
Most mobile interactions take place between meetings or while on the go.

desision:

The mobile version includes only the key actions:
• change status
• confirm entry
• send a message
• create a lead
• set a reminder

Expected impact:

• ↑ Mobile Task Completion
• ↓ Drop-off Rate
• ↑ Daily Active Users

04. Business Overview Instead of Tables

If you replace tables with visual business status cards, users will understand what’s going on more quickly.
For business owners, it’s important not to analyze data, but to quickly get answers to questions such as:
What’s happening right now?
Where are the problems?
What needs attention?

desision:

The home screen is organized around cards:
• new leads
• meetings
•  AI actions
• critical events

Expected impact:

• ↓ Time to Awareness
• ↑ Daily Engagement
• ↑ Decision Speed

Main Dashboard
AI Command Center

Unified platform control centre that helps business owners manage AI agents, track customer enquiries and analyse key company metrics from a single interface. The home screen serves as the starting point for all key workflows and provides quick access to the most important information.

Key features:

• monitoring of financial and operational metrics;
• real-time overview of customer conversations;
• adaptation for web and mobile use cases;
• management of the AI agent ecosystem;
• monitoring of AI and sales team activity;

Value for the users:

reduced cognitive load by consolidating key information in one place and the ability to make decisions without having to search for data across different sections of the system.

Value for businesses:

Onboarding
Accelerating User Activation Through Progressive Onboarding

In the original version, the onboarding process consisted of 9 screens and required users to fill out a large amount of information before their first interaction with the product. This increased setup time and created the risk of losing users early on.In the new version, the process has been streamlined to four steps.

All non-essential settings have been moved into the product, and the key “Aha Moment” now occurs in the third step, where the user gets the chance to test their AI assistant and see the results of their settings in real time.

Key features:

• reducing the registration process from 9 to 4 steps;
• quickly entering key business information;
• selecting the bot’s personality and communication style;
• the ability to test the AI assistant before completing the setup;
• transferring advanced settings to the main product after registration;

Value for the users:

Quickly launch the AI assistant without lengthy setup; see the product’s results right from the very first steps of getting acquainted with the platform; and start using the service in just a few minutes.

Value for businesses:

Increased onboarding conversion rates, a reduction in the number of users who abandon the product during registration, and faster achievement of key activation milestones

Knowledge Base
