EDMONTON, AB — July 29, 2026 — Napkin Deals today shipped a major upgrade to Avery, its conversational deal scout, alongside the platform’s first CRM integrations. Avery now blends semantic and keyword retrieval — fused and re-ranked — so a request like “boring cash-flow business in Texas under $3M” finds what a keyword search misses and what a pure embedding search muddles.
Measured, not vibes
Behind the scenes, a nightly evaluation suite scores Avery’s answers against a fixed battery of buyer questions, catching regressions before users do. Avery also adapts its briefing style to the account’s persona — a first-time searcher and a private-equity associate get different depth on the same deal.
Deals, meet pipeline
For teams that live in a CRM, favoriting a deal on Napkin now creates a HubSpot Deal or Salesforce Opportunity automatically, carrying the listing’s financials and a link back to the platform. A CSV export covers everything else. The integrations are one-way by design: Napkin pushes, your pipeline stays yours.
Both features are live today — Avery on every plan with metered searches, CRM push on team tiers.
