“Can an AI workspace on top of Salesforce become the primary interface where sellers actually work, and reduce the CRM to a backend database?”
Scratchpad launched in 2020 as a fast Chrome-based notation layer over Salesforce to save reps from CRM data entry. After Series B (2022) it expanded from a single-rep tool into a full revenue-team workspace with AI field updates, notetaker, and deal agents. In 2025 the company added Clearskies, positioning itself as the context layer between external LLMs and Salesforce — repositioning from productivity utility to AI-native sales execution platform.
