## The Problem It Solves

Running an AI agency usually means juggling 10+ tools:
- Apollo or Clay (lead research)
- Lemlist or Instantly (cold email)
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator + a scraper (LinkedIn outreach)
- Close or HubSpot (CRM)
- DocuSign (contracts)
- Stripe (payments)
- Calendly (booking)
- GoHighLevel or a separate client portal
- An AI subscription (ChatGPT, Claude)
- A dialer (JustCall, PhoneBurner)

Ciela AI replaces all of these.
