An open-source CRM where AI agents run the workflow

Most CRMs bolt a chatbot onto a database — this new open-source project flips that design by putting an autonomous agent in charge of the database.

A new repository called trycompai/crm picked up 3,196 stars on GitHub this week. Built on Bun, NestJS, Postgres, and Vercel's Eve framework, it is an open-source, agentic-first CRM. Instead of waiting for user prompts, its research agent runs on its own schedule, leases tasks from a queue, and works until its research budget runs out.

Why it matters: It shifts software from passive storage to active background work. The system also enforces a strict rule against guessing customer details: tools only report direct observations — like email signature blocks or GitHub profiles — and route uncertain evidence to a human for review.

Know this: It is strictly single-tenant and built for internal teams. Authentication relies on Google sign-in with a single environment variable allow-list, and every logged-in user can see all records.

If you want a CRM where the database is just an agent's notebook, this is a fresh approach to watch.
