Tempo answers through the AI platform you connect over MCP. You ask in plain language. Your platform picks the Tempo read that fits the question and shows you the evidence behind the answer. The prompts on this page are examples, not a menu. Anything about your deals, your accounts, what customers said, your meetings, or your playbook is fair game. Use these as starting points and ask in your own words.
A fast read returns stored deal state or cited observations. A deeper search takes longer, reads more of your deals, and tells you which deals it covered. Ask for a summary when you want a cited answer in prose.

​
Get up to speed on a deal

Tempo keeps a generated deal state for every opportunity it tracks, with a cited brief, a next step, and the sources behind them.
Each deal state carries an “as of” time. If artifacts arrived after it, Tempo says how many, so you know when a state is behind the evidence. A brand-new deal shows a generating status until its first state exists. Your platform can read up to 25 deals in one request, which is how pipeline prompts work.

​
Hear what a customer actually said

Ask for evidence and Tempo returns observations: cited rows, each with the words it came from and the artifact that holds them.
Observation search is fast and does not synthesize; your platform summarizes the rows. Each row carries a type, such as Pain, Objection, or Product request, so you can ask for one kind only. Search one deal, a set of deals, or everything you can see.
An empty result means no ranked match, not proof that something was never said. For a yes-or-no check, ask for a deeper search.

​
Check something before you rely on it

A deeper search returns cited evidence for the deals it reached. Ask your platform to summarize it when you want prose. Check the reported coverage and any gaps before drawing a conclusion. If the result is partial, follow its continuation or narrow the question.

​
Read the original

Tempo returns the artifact in pages. Your platform can center a page on a phrase or continue from where the last page ended.

​
See your meetings

Tempo lists meetings from your own calendar, optionally narrowed to one deal, and the deal-linked meetings any seller has held with an account. It never shows a teammate’s unlinked personal events.

​
Scan your pipeline

Your platform can read every deal in your organization that Tempo shows. An unscoped deal list covers the organization; ask for “my deals” to narrow it to deals you own. Field values include your CRM fields and any Tempo-managed fields. Look-alikes match on deal-state language, so treat them as orientation and confirm with the deal’s evidence.

​
Ask why across every deal

These questions need the evidence behind each deal, not just its fields. Tempo answers from the observations across your pipeline and cites them deal by deal. Ask for a thorough answer when the list is long.

​
See what is recurring across deals

If your organization has Themes turned on, ask what Tempo is finding.
Theme browsing defaults to the last 30 days. A search for a subject defaults to the last 365 days. You can narrow either by observation type, source, status, and topic. Ask for a theme’s evidence to get the observations, deals, and accounts behind it. Signals are defined by your admins in the Tempo app; the observations a signal records are ordinary observations, so they show up in evidence searches like anything else. You can also ask which live signals appeared on your accounts or deals. Ask for the observations behind each result when you need the source wording.

​
Apply your playbook

If your admins have added Playbook sources, ask how your methodology, stage criteria, or messaging applies.
Playbook results are organization guidance, not deal evidence. Tempo never uses them on their own to support a claim about a specific deal.

​
Combine and follow up

The best prompts chain these together: a brief, then the evidence behind one point, then the original wording. You can also skip the prompt and run a skill, which packages a whole workflow such as meeting prep or a call debrief.
Ask your platform to show the sources behind any answer at any time.

​
How citations work

Every observation Tempo returns carries the claim, its type, and the deal it belongs to; the source words that support it; and the artifact they came from, with its date and source. Synthesized answers cite the same way and also report what they could not find. When an artifact is retracted, its observations are removed and never cited again. See Adding context.

​
What Tempo does not do

  • Send messages. Tempo does not send email or Slack messages. If you ask your platform to write a follow-up, it writes from Tempo’s context and uses its own mail connector, if it has one.
  • Write CRM fields outside the update flow. Field changes go through CRM update proposals. The exception is creating a new account, contact, or opportunity, which writes the CRM record directly.
  • Track action items. Tempo does not keep a task list. Commitments come back as observations and in deal state, like any other evidence.
  • See other sellers’ calendars. Account-level meeting lists are the one exception, and they include only deal-linked meetings.
  • Sync CRM leads or tasks. Tempo works with accounts, contacts, and opportunities.
  • Read another organization’s deals. Your platform can read only the deals available to your Tempo organization.
