Two ways to keep a playbook

Same promise. Very different work.

Octave

A library your team maintains.

Octave drafts your strategy from your website and documents. From then on, calls turn into suggested edits that someone has to review.

  • Built and run by PMM, RevOps or GTM engineers
  • Every update waits in a review queue
  • A queue Octave admits people put off
Breakthrough

Breakthrough

A playbook that curates itself.

Breakthrough learns from every call your team records. It keeps what wins, drops the noise, and rewrites your playbook so it stays tight.

  • Nobody has to babysit it
  • Rewritten as it learns, not piled on
  • Edit anything. Every change traces to its call

FAQ

Octave and Breakthrough, Answered

Octave learns from calls too. What's different?

Octave turns calls into suggested edits to a library you built by hand, and someone has to approve each one. Breakthrough curates on its own and rewrites the playbook as it learns, so it never bloats.

If it updates itself, who's in control?

You are. Edit any section, see every change, and trace it back to the call it came from.

Is Breakthrough enterprise-ready at this price?

Yes. Every plan runs on the same infrastructure. SOC 2 audited, GDPR compliant, and your data never trains AI models.

Can we build on top of it?

Yes. Anything that connects over MCP can use your playbook and calls: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own agents.

Give Claude a playbook that keeps itself current.
