HOW IT WORKS

Live technical assistance. No bot.

Unlike Gong, Backdrop provides instant help during the call, not after it.

Joins silently. No bots

Joins your audio stream and listens. No notifications.

Reads the room

Backdrop maps the conversation to your technical docs, battlecards, objection playbooks, and product docs.

Surfaces the right question or answer

The right response appears before you need to ask.

Your data, live in the call

Backdrop is trained on your technical docs, product specs, tribal knowledge, competitive intel, and security questionnaire answers. It then tells each rep exactly what they need, right when they need it.

Technical depth

Handles technical depth, no SE required

Security architecture, API limits, integrations, compliance? Backdrop pulls the right answer instantly, so your rep can answer confidently and keep the deal moving.

Confidence

No regrets, no “I'll get back to you later”

Using Backdrop, sellers handle technical questions well 100% of the time, even when new, unprepared, or left to sell without a sales engineer. That way you can send your SEs to where they are really needed.

Trust

We quote. We cite. Or say we don't know.

Reps trust Backdrop because it always cites the source behind each answer, or tells them it doesn't know. No hallucinations.

Got on a call with two senior developers without a sales engineer. It went well enough to get a 2nd meeting. Not kidding. I would have been cooked without Backdrop.
