# Ask anything about a deal, account, or contact

Learn how to use Ask Anything to quickly extract key information about deals, accounts, and contacts from recent emails and calls without manual review.

Revie, the Outdoo AI assistant, gives you quick answers to questions about your deals and accounts. It draws on up to 80 recent emails and 10 recent calls, so you can pull out key information from conversations without reviewing them yourself.

Note: Unrecorded meetings and automatic replies are excluded.

## Where to ask

-   **About a deal:** go to **Opportunities > Pipelines**, click the deal name to open the deal page, and click **Ask Revie about this Deal**.

-   **About an account:** on the deal page, click **Review Account**, then click **Ask Revie about this Account**.

-   **About a single call:** open the call from **Real Calls > History** and click **Ask Revie about this conversation**.

## Get instant deal updates

Get a quick summary of recent progress without going through emails or calls yourself:

-   Ask **"What's happened since last week?"**

-   Revie returns a summary of the relevant developments in emails and calls since the previous Sunday.

## Tips for writing effective prompts

### Be specific

-   Avoid vague prompts like "What was their problem?"

-   Use detailed questions like "What's the biggest problem that Acme Solutions is trying to solve?"

### Include account names

-   Ask "What are Acme's business goals?" rather than "What are their business goals?"

### Focus on past conversations

-   Frame questions around what was said in recent calls and emails for richer, more accurate answers.

### Use natural language

-   Write questions the way you'd ask a person. For example: "What are Acme's top pain points?"

### Ask one question at a time

-   Stick to one question per prompt.

## Example questions

-   "What did the customer say about the price of our offer?"

-   "Summarize Acme's objections in bullet form."

-   "What are Acme's business pain points?"

-   "What specific pricing was discussed?"

-   "What does Acme prefer about our product versus competitors?"

-   "What feedback did Acme give about competitors?"

-   "Based on conversations, summarize the current and desired states of Acme's customer success."

## Notes

-   Keep your questions clear and specific for the best results.
