Given that sales reps spend two-thirds of their time on non revenue-generating activities, with excessive administrative tasks reported as the biggest time-suck, it’s no wonder 79% of marketing leads never convert into sales due to ineffective lead nurturing. Add a lack of synergy between sales and marketing teams to the mix, and this can cost businesses 10% or more in revenue per year.
Leading the charge to help businesses curb these problems is revenue enablement platform Gong. The company recently rolled out Gong AI, a collection of AI-driven capabilities aimed at maximizing revenue at every stage of the customer journey by reducing churn, closing more deals, and forecasting more effectively.
But is Gong AI really the answer to your revenue enablement woes? Let’s unpack everything you need to know with a comprehensive Gong AI review.
What is Gong AI?
Gong is an AI-powered revenue enablement platform for customer-facing teams. It merges sales, marketing, and customer support departments under one digital roof and supports the most critical workflows that drive revenue growth, including sales engagement, forecasting, and team performance.
The platform stars Gong AI, Gong’s new and next-level AI technology. With Gong AI, you can automatically capture and analyze sales interactions across any medium (emails, phone calls, video calls) and various platforms (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom). Gong AI then delivers hyper-specific insights at scale, unearthing exactly what works and what doesn’t so your team can continuously refine and sharpen their sales strategies.
You can also integrate Gong with other tools, such as CRMs, customer support software, and sales enablement platforms. Integrating Gong with Spekit AI, for instance, enables sales reps to access AI-fueled smart content recommendations directly in the flow of work.

How to Use Gong AI with Spekit
One of the best Gong AI integrations to fasttrack workflows and boost revenue is Spekit, an AI-powered just-in-time sales intelligence software designed to centralize and surface the most relevant sales content reps need to ramp and close deals faster.
Spekit integrates seamlessly with Gong and delivers the exact training materials needed to adopt and master the platform in real-time. Learning in the flow of work helps your team avoid information overload, access the right tutorials at the right time, and immediately put what they’ve learned into practice.
While Gong AI analyzes all customer interactions to identify why deals are won or lost so you can optimize your sales strategies over time, Spekit AI helps your reps execute these strategies with ease by providing contextual, AI-powered content recommendations for your prospects.
How? By analyzing the intent and context of Gong call summaries and serving up the exact case study or battle card needed to push deals forward on a silver platter.
Ditto the perfect pieces of content to send prospects–which you can do in just a few clicks using Spekit SmartSend. Receive an alert when they engage with the content for perfectly timed follow-ups, and track the content’s impact to optimize marketing and enablement.
Never again will your reps have to waste time searching for resources, or worse, leave Gong to find the deal-accelerating resources they need. Spekit AI does all the heavy lifting so they can focus on selling, not searching.
Reps can also offer feedback to Spekit AI as to which of the surfaced sales enablement resources were most—and least—useful, further refining content recommendations within the Gong platform.
Boost Revenue Generation by Integrating Gong AI and Spekit
Gong AI provides revenue-centric teams with personalized guidance to fine-tune workflows and improve customer interactions to boost revenue. But the constant adjustments to your sales pipeline stages can leave reps feeling overwhelmed and lost as they try to keep up with each new iteration.
By integrating Gong AI and Spekit AI, you’ll instantly empower your reps by equipping them with the exact content they need (sales enablement, collateral, and guidance), the moment they need it, and all within the Gong platform. Help your revenue teams elevate the quality of every interaction to move deals from first touch to closed won, faster.
