"We're calling for an immediate halt to Agentic Revenue, the economy isn't ready"
You know the product is good when @grok gets it!
Attio is a CRM. The news: agents can now hit its full data via normal SQL queries (joins, aggs, whatever), treating it like a database.
But every query still runs through Attio’s app layer—permissions, validation, policies, compliance stay enforced. Agents get flexible access without raw DB free-for-all or brittle APIs.
That’s the practical bit. Agents scale across your customer data while the guardrails stay on.
A new type of user requires a new type of architecture.
Legacy software wasn't built for agents and now they're breaking it. Today, we're launching the next generation of our platform powered by a hybrid architecture. Building this has been the most ambitious and challenging engineering challenge of my career.
Attio now supports SQL - offering a PostgreSQL compatible connector and syntax that allows our customers and their agents to query all of their data like a database. It's transactionally consistent, horizontally scalable and allows agents to access the full context they require using a language and syntax that they're well trained on using.
Whether you're accessing your data through our UI, our API, our MCP server or now our SQL Data Connectors: your team and your agents get the full context, every time.

We're big fans of agentic development @attio and we're also big fans of @googlecloud Spanner!
Previously these two weren't the best of friends as you had to use full Cloud Spanner instances every time you spin up a development environment. We worked with the Google Cloud team to deploy their new Spanner Omni system in our CI/CD environments and the results have been incredible.
We're incredibly proud to be a launch partner for the feature with them as we push the boundaries of software engineering further, together:

We just signed an 8-figure compute contract.
@attio is increasingly becoming the place agents do work. That takes compute and tokens, a lot of them!
The next platform war isn't just about who stores your data, it's about where agents are allowed to act on it. Owning that is worth a whole lot of compute!

Once again @attio is the fastest growing CRM in the world (off a baseline that gets higher and higher).
When we started many people thought CRM was too hard and urged us to build a point solution, I'm glad we didn't.

Love to see our customers winning!
Huge fan of @reductoai
Looking forward to chatting with @richardmuirhead about what it takes to scale out CRM in the AI era!
The first [O]pen House door opens.
A fireside chat with Alexander Christie ( @byteofbits), Co-founder & CTO of @Attio, and @richardmuirhead.
Attio is building the fastest-growing CRM in one of software's most crowded categories, now leading the shift to agentic CRM. We'll get into the conviction to build anyway and what it takes to scale a category leader.
The conversations behind R[3]sidency x Construct have always been off the record. For the first time, the door's open.

Attio does the math.
Get live answers from your data with formula attributes. Be deterministic where it matters, reference across your workspace, and stay reactive to changes.
Now forecasts recalculate on their own, pipeline health updates itself, and lead scores stay current.

London has all the ingredients to be Europe's best ecosystem.
Outstanding universities, every relevant tech company has engineering (not just sales) offices there. Both regularly spin out exceptional founders.
The momentum is clearly there. So we're back in two weeks, hosted by @Attio with @GoogleDeepMind co-hosting.
@Superlinked, @tavilyai , @AikidoSecurity, @mubitcompany, @slng_ai and @n8n_io are supporting as well.
80 spots. 27 June, London.

I went to Downing Street this morning with founders and CEOs from UK startups and scaleups to talk about tech policy.
Left feeling optimistic. There’s real ambition in this government, a willingness to listen, and a clear desire to help builders. The UK also has extraordinary talent, world-class universities, deep capital, and founders building globally important companies.
But the biggest thing the UK needs to “fix” isn’t policy, it’s vibes.
That’s on us. Help each other. Be optimistic. Build ambitious things. Stop waiting around hoping someone else will do it.
People don’t move to SF because of policy (it’s worse than the UK). They go for the energy.
It's on us to build that here.
We migrated away from Postgres in our stack back in 2022, when a single large customer onboarding managed to irreparably brick the query planner.
We haven’t regretted that decision once.
The postmortem for our incident yesterday has been published, including the root cause analysis and our planned remediations.
We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident caused to your team, your business, and your users. We understand that you depend on Clerk to be available, and we failed to meet that expectation yesterday, and too many times in recent months.
This is unacceptable, and we will be bringing increased attention to proactively adding monitors, redundancies, and failovers to our overall system. While we've added many throughout the past year, recent events have made it clear that we are not moving fast enough.
Thank you for your patience and continued partnership.

This is a really clever abuse of Object Storage, but I can’t help but feel that this is actually a fairly complex wrapper around Spanner.
You get the same guarantees if you just write the whole thing to Spanner (as it powers the metadata of GCS) and you don’t need the buffer.
queue.json on object storage is all you need to build a reliable distributed job queue
→ FIFO execution
→ at-least-once delivery
→ 10x lower tail latencies

Its a no-brainer for every CRM to have an auto-generated newsfeed from companies in the pipeline
Build it today with @p0
built an @attio app this week that continuously monitors CRM accounts and alerts when anything important changes—funding, leadership, launches, whatever you define.
tell the CRM what you want to monitor once, then get updates on those companies via slack/email etc.
built with
> attio's new developer SDK & workflows
> Parallel's Monitor API
