The 80/20 of this stack: 80% of the value comes from automated data flow between ai writing and sales & crm tools. With Grammarly feeding into People.ai, you remove the biggest friction point in most finance ops workflows. The teams that get the most value set up a weekly review to tune the integration. Iterate in two-week cycles.
