Backstory (formerly People.ai, rebranded April 2026) is an AI revenue intelligence platform for sales leaders, CROs, and revenue teams. It automatically captures customer interactions across email, meetings, calls, chat, and CRM records, maps that activity to open deals, and reconstructs what is actually happening inside a deal or account — flagging which deals are losing momentum, where decision-makers are missing, whether a forecast is defensible, and the recommended next step. It integrates with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, Teams, Webex, and Slack without requiring reps to change their workflow. Backstory's public developer surface is agent-native rather than REST: it operates a hosted, remote MCP server at https://mcp.people.ai/mcp with thirteen documented tools, protected by OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, and documented for Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini CLI and n8n. A separate REST API exists but is documented only as admin-panel API key management, with no published reference or specification. Backstory is backed by ICONIQ Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
