Optional voice interview

Talk through your workflow with the Chief Workflow Officer

This optional interview uses an AI voice from ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs deletes the transcript and PII after 30 days. Call audio is never stored. Cromus does not save the transcript in its workspace. After the interview, an on-page consent form lets you request a one-time email with the transcript and Cromus plan and feature suggestions; submitting it is your explicit consent. We never add your email to a mailing list.

This interview uses an AI voice. Cromus's workflow reviews never do.
