Bring your own AI to Topliner
The Topliner chat knows your searches, mappings and people. Claude and ChatGPT didn’t: to ask one of them about a search, you pasted a profile in and copied the answer back out.
Now any AI app that supports MCP, the open standard for connecting AI apps to other software, works in Topliner: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Le Chat, Cursor and more. Ask it about the people you’ve interviewed, check what a search already covers, or have it update a list straight after a call. It answers from Topliner and makes the change there, as you and with exactly your permissions.

Ask about the people you’ve met
Ask the way you would ask a colleague. Your AI app searches your interview notes in Topliner and answers with the people who fit and the lines from your notes that show why.
I checked your interview notes in Topliner. Three people you interviewed since May talk about scaling revenue:
1. Marta Kowalczyk, CFO at Vistula Robotics. Your note, 12 Aug: “Took revenue from €180M to €310M in three years.”
2. Henrik Aalto, Finance Director at Lumo Grid. Your note, 3 Jun: “Built finance for the move to a €90M subscription business.”
3. Mira Lindqvist, VP Finance at Nordvik Systems. Your note, 21 Sep: “Scaled ARR from €40M to €120M before the Series D.”

See what a search already covers
Before you call into a company, ask whether the search has it covered. Your AI app reads every mapping of the search and its pipeline, so one answer says who was identified, how they were tiered and who is on the longlist.
Yes. In Topliner, Hollmann Automation is in the DACH mapping, with 3 people identified:
1. Lukas Brenner, CFO, Tier 1. He is also on the pipeline, in Longlist - Tier 1.
2. Anja Seidel, VP Finance, Tier 1.
3. Tobias Engel, Head of FP&A, Tier 2.
Nobody from Hollmann is in the Nordics or UK & Ireland mappings.
Ask anything
Update Topliner straight after a call
Say what you want done. Your AI app finds the person in Topliner and adds them to your list, or logs the call on their profile. Topliner asks it to check with you before it changes anything.
I found Isabel Navarro, CFO at Vantis Software, in Topliner. Shall I add her to your Superstars list?
Done: Isabel Navarro is on your Superstars list in Topliner. Want me to log today’s call on her profile too?

Everything the chat can do
These three are a start. A connected app gets the same tools as the Topliner chat: it also reads a mapping with its companies and scores, moves a candidate on a search, writes to the Data Room and logs activity on a profile. It works in one space at a time and can switch to any space you belong to. Your team’s skills are there too, in the apps that support them.
One thing works differently. In the Topliner chat, some changes wait for you to press Confirm, rejecting a candidate for one. An AI app has no such button, so Topliner tells it which actions change or delete data, and the app can ask you before it takes one.
Connect your AI app in a minute
Open Settings → Connections and pick your app under AI apps: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or another one. Its steps come with the address to copy and say where it goes in that app. The app sends you to Topliner: sign in as usual, read what the app will be able to do, and press Allow access.
The app then appears under AI apps, with when it was connected, when it was last used and which space it works in. Disconnect cuts it off at once.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any app that supports MCP to your Topliner account. The app works as you: it sees what you can see and makes the changes you can make.
