How to use Xpotting
Step-by-step guide to the company scouting and CRM platform — web, mobile, and API.
Xpotting is a multi-tenant B2B scouting & CRM platform. Each company gets its own isolated workspace — you cannot see other companies' data, and outsiders cannot see yours.
- Sign in with the account you received via the invite link.
- Open the Company page and fill in the company profile (name, country, description, main products).
- In Scouting, create a scouting profile (e.g. a specific product or service).
- Start a New spot — upload a business card, booth, or customer document photo.
- The AI agents run the full analysis (foreground, background, relevance, persona, pitch, follow-up), and the result appears under Leads.
Every user can belong to multiple companies. Use the company switcher in the top bar to change workspaces.
- Company admins can invite teammates from the Team page — invited colleagues register through the emailed link.
- New company creation is enabled by default, but a superadmin can disable it globally.
- On the company dashboard, admins see company-wide stats; members only see their own.
A spot is one observation: a business card, booth, talk photo, or uploaded customer document. Every spot belongs to a scouting session, which belongs to a scouting profile (product).
- Pick a scouting profile or create a new one (Scouting → New profile).
- Click New spot and upload a photo or document (PNG, JPG, PDF, DOCX).
- The AI pipeline runs 7 agents: Visual → Background → Relevance → Prioritization → Persona → Pitch → CRM.
- You see a live stream during the run — a lead is created automatically at the end.
The Leads page lists every company-level hit by priority (A+ → C) and relevance. Each lead carries: foreground and background analysis, recommendations, pitch outline, qualification questions, suggested follow-up email, and linked contacts.
- Every field is editable — persona, use-case, pitch, next step. All edits and deletes ask for confirmation.
- You can add a new contact to an existing lead without re-running the full pipeline — even from a business-card photo.
- The Enrich button reruns foreground / background research without overwriting your manual edits.
The mobile client uses the same public REST API (/api/public/v1/*) with a Bearer token or an API key. From the mobile app you can add to an existing lead:
- A new business card — photo upload with automatic contact extraction.
- A text note — attached directly to the lead.
- A voice note — uploaded to the
spot-uploadsbucket, then transcribed via Lovable AI (openai/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe) STT.
Every user can generate one or more API keys (SHA-256 hashed, shown only once at creation). The mobile app or any external integration uses this to call the public API.
- The server endpoint URL is displayed on the Profile / Settings page — enter that and the API key on mobile.
- Full reference: /api-docs (Swagger UI, OpenAPI 3.1).
On Settings → Integrations you can connect your Microsoft account so every new lead gets a OneNote page created automatically.
- Personal notebook — the OneNote on your own OneDrive (
/me/onenote). - Group (Teams) notebook — pick a Teams team, then its notebook and section. Pages are written to the OneNote that lives on the team's SharePoint site (
/groups/{id}/onenoteor/sites/{siteId}/onenote) — not to your personal account. - The selected notebook, section and — for groups — the groupId are saved on your profile, so the Create test page button and automatic lead pages end up in the right place.
- If you get a 404 (
20102): usually you don't have access to the team notebook, or the team hasn't provisioned one yet. Open it once in Teams, then re-pick the section and save.
- PostgreSQL Row Level Security on every table — cross-tenant leakage is impossible.
- Roles live in a separate
user_rolestable, checked by a security-definer function in a private schema — safe against privilege escalation. - Uploads use signed URLs and land in the tenant's own bucket.
