IndustryLens for Microsoft Teams.

Notifications and an in-channel assistant for Teams. Here is what each does and what we need from you.

Teams notifications

The weekly briefing and alerts posted to a Teams channel, the same way they already post to Slack — one channel per team, or one per account manager if that fits how you work.

Teams assistant

An IndustryLens app inside Teams that answers questions in-channel — “what changed at <account> this month?” or “how do we win against <competitor>?” — with a sourced answer from your own IndustryLens data.

Chat · via IndustryLens MCP connector

What’s Cognism doing with AI lately?

Cognism shipped an MCP connector linking ChatGPT and Claude to its sales data, and published a report claiming 47% of European firms hiring GTM engineers did so in the past nine months — positioning itself as the AI-ready data layer for technical revenue teams.

What we’d need from you

For notifications: a Teams channel and an incoming connection your IT sets up once. For the assistant: the same, plus your IT’s approval of a custom Teams app — most organisations need that signed off before any third-party app can post or answer in Teams. If your organisation already uses Microsoft Copilot, the MCP connector is the other route in — see what that needs below.

Privacy

Every answer uses only your own company’s IndustryLens data, never another customer’s, and every answer cites its sources so you can check the underlying move yourself.
