# Things you can ask: questions, updates, drafts, searches

Example prompts for the Command Center, grouped by what you want: answers, record updates, drafts, outreach and Database searches.

The Command Center handles four kinds of requests: questions about your CRM, updates to records and deals, drafts of emails and texts, and Database searches. Here are prompts that work well for each.

## Search and questions

-   "Show me all companies created last week with no reply."
    
-   "Which people mentioned a competitor in their last call?"
    
-   "What happened with Acme while I was out?"
    
-   "How many deals are in Demo Booked right now?"
    
-   "Who owns the most companies with no activity in 30 days?"
    

## Updating your CRM

-   "Move the Acme deal to Trial Started."
    
-   "Add 'budget confirmed' to the notes on this company."
    
-   "Set the Close Date on the Beacon deal to October 31."
    
-   "Assign every company in Georgia with no owner to Dana."
    
-   "Create a Smartview of companies with no touch in 14 days."
    

Every write action shows you the proposed change first. Nothing changes until you confirm. That is the core promise: the Command Center drafts and proposes, you approve. Automatic sending exists only inside agents you have set up to do it.

## Drafting and outreach

-   "Draft a follow-up to the person I'm on, referencing the last call."
    
-   "Write a two-line text to Brian asking if 3pm still works." The draft opens in the SMS composer for you to review and send.
    
-   "Summarize this company, then draft a check-in email."
    
-   "Call Brian Chen." The dialer opens with Brian's number. The Command Center never dials on its own.
    

## Database searches

-   "Create a database search for roofing company owners in Georgia."
    
-   "Find Series A fintech companies in New York with 50 to 200 employees."
    
-   "Narrow the current search to companies with more than 25 employees."
    

## Agents

-   "Run the follow-up agent on everyone I added today."
    
-   "Pause the outreach agent."
    
-   "Create an agent that follows up with every new company after 2 days of silence."
    

## Good prompt habits

-   Name the record, or say "the company I'm on". Context makes the answer precise.
    
-   Batch related asks: "Summarize this company, then draft a check-in email referencing the last call."
    
-   If a draft misses the tone, say how: "shorter, more casual, no exclamation marks." The assistant learns from your edits over time (see "Personal AI preferences and AI Behavior").
    
-   For bulk changes, select the rows first and use **Commands** in the Action Bar so the scope is explicit.
    

## Credits

Every Command Center request spends AI credits from your single pool. A short question costs a little; a long drafting job costs more. Browsing results costs nothing.
