Sales teams needing dynamic, AI-generated context for target accounts

🔧 How it works
1. Select Accounts:
Use a Salesforce node to define which accounts to brief.
Filter logic can be updated to match ICP or scoring rules (e.g., MadKudu Fit + LTB).

2. Generate Brief with MadKudu MCP & AI
MadKudu MCP provides the account brief instructions, research online for company recent news and provides structured account context from your integrations connected to MadKudu + external signals (firmographics, past opportunities, active contacts, job openings...)

The AI agent (OpenAI model) turns this into a readable account brief.

3. Send to Outreach
Match account in Outreach via domain.
Update a custom field (e.g., custom49) with the brief text.

📋 How to set up
