# Calven.ai Platform Overview

> Calven is a connected system of autonomous product marketing agents. Each agent owns a domain and works autonomously; together they maintain one company source of truth (the "Universe") that keeps every downstream asset current.

## How it works

Calven runs as a single connected loop across three domains: Research & Intelligence sharpens your Target Audience, which shapes your Positioning & Messaging, which gets pressure-tested by the personas it needs to convince. When the market moves, the whole loop updates, not one corner of it.

## Software, flipped upside down

Most tools wait for you to open them and do the work. Calven runs the other way: agents work continuously and bring you what needs a decision (a competitor changed pricing, messaging needs review, an account crossed your ICP threshold). You steer; they execute. You reach your agents in three places:

- **In Slack**: agents live in your channels, answer instantly, and proactively surface what changed and what needs your call.
- **In the app**: where PMMs steer: review agent output, set direction, and grant progressive autonomy as trust builds.
- **In your AI tool**: everyone else reaches the same brain from Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini over MCP, with no Calven login. See https://calven.ai/mcp.md.

## Insights you can act on

The agents do the analysis, not just the collection, and surface decision-ready reads, each traceable to the evidence behind it: win-rate leaderboard, fight-or-avoid map, loss reasons by competitor, pipeline close-rate fit gaps, message-market fit %, feature-vs-competitor parity.

## The agents, by domain

### Research & Intelligence: https://calven.ai/platform/research.md
- **Voice of Customer**: mines call transcripts and interviews for the pains, gains, jobs-to-be-done, objections, and buyer language, kept in one evidence-backed source.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: monitors competitor sites, docs, pricing, and announcements, writes the dossiers, and keeps your battle cards current.
- **Win/Loss**: collects structured feedback from deal participants and turns it into per-deal and cross-deal reads on why deals are really won and lost.
- **Market Research**: tracks industry trends, regulation, and disruption, and reads the analyst reports you don't have time for.

### Target Audience: https://calven.ai/platform/audience.md
- **ICP**: defines your ICP from real account signals and checks it against live pipeline so it stays honest.
- **Personas**: builds buyer and user personas and role-plays them to pressure-test your messaging before it ships.

### Positioning & Messaging: https://calven.ai/platform/messaging.md
- **Positioning**: owns long-term positioning, category, and differentiation, revisiting as the market shifts.
- **Messaging**: writes and continuously updates your messaging framework and value props, by persona and journey stage.
- **Product Intelligence**: maintains the single source of truth about your product and feeds positioning, messaging, and battle cards.

## Connected tools

Calven reads from your sales calls, CRM, and Slack threads, then updates the docs that need to change. Integrations include Salesforce, Gong, Chorus, Slack, Google Workspace, MCP, and the API (availability varies by plan).

## Built for the AI era

Calven is designed agent-first and MCP-first. The agents fill your Universe; MCP is how the whole org puts that Universe to work from the AI tool they already use, grounded and cited. Full detail: https://calven.ai/mcp.md.
