# Companies

Companies let you group related contacts under a shared organization record. This is especially useful in B2B workflows where multiple people belong to the same business or account.

## Viewing Companies

Navigate to **CRM > Companies** to browse company records. Two view modes are available from the toolbar:

- **Cards** — paginated table layout.
- **Spreadsheet** — Attio-style grid with inline edit on name, domain, website, industry, size, phone, email; sortable headers; drag-to-resize columns; multi-select; and a bulk-edit dialog.

The toolbar also exposes a saved-view picker so you can apply a reusable filter + sort + columns preset. See [Saved Views](/help/crm/saved-views).

## Creating a Company

1. Click **+ New Company**.
2. Enter the company name and supporting details (domain, website, industry, size, phone, email, LinkedIn URL, description).
3. Click **Save**. Field-level validation errors appear inline.

You can also create companies from the **Suggestions** modal, which infers companies from contact records that have a free-text `company` field but no linked record.

## Linking Contacts

You can associate contacts with a company from either side:

- From the **company detail page**, view the auto-linked contacts.
- From a **contact detail page**, set or update the Company field — the spreadsheet view supports inline edit.

## Company Detail View

The company detail page helps you understand account-level context in one place:

- **Company Information** — domain, website, industry, size, phone, email, description.
- **Activity Summary** — contact count, calls, chats, emails + SMS.
- **Contacts** — first 10 linked contacts with quick links.
- **Custom Fields** — per-tenant attributes; AI-research fields can auto-populate from web search and your own corpus.
- **Tasks** — follow-up items linked to the company.
- **Find similar** — closest companies by semantic similarity over your own customer base (lookalike accounts grounded in your data, not the public web).
- **Notes** and **Activity log** — paginated history.
- **Change history** — admin-only audit trail.
- **Presence avatars** — when teammates are viewing or editing the same company, their chips appear in the header.

## AI Research on Company Fields

Mark any company attribute as an **AI-research field** in **CRM → Setup → Custom Fields** to have it auto-populate from the company's own history (notes, calls, emails) plus optional web search. Sources used to fill the value are stored on the record so every enrichment is auditable. No third-party enrichment account is required.
