Heliyos vs Lightfield

What Lightfield does well

Lightfield calls itself a "CRM engineered for the future" and says it "reimagines the CRM as a world model of your business". The team built Tome before this and announced a $47 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz in September 2026.

• A record that updates itself. Lightfield says it "updates itself from every call, email, meeting, and Slack thread, assembling a context graph for agents to work from". Accounts, contacts and opportunities are created and updated without someone building automations.
• A temporal context graph that "connects every interaction and preserves how your data changes over time". This is the closest thing to customer memory in any product we compare against.
• Agents for pipeline work. They create target lists, run multi-step sequences, flag at-risk deals and draft follow-ups, and customisable Skills teach the agent new jobs.
• A "For review" queue. Items such as meeting follow-ups and opportunity qualification wait with Approve and Dismiss, so a drafted email can be checked before it goes.
• A meeting recorder that transcribes, pulls deal context into the right account, extracts tasks and drafts the follow-up, and Ask Lightfield, a chat that answers pipeline questions with citations.
• An open platform: two-way sync with Salesforce or HubSpot, API, MCP and CLI access, SOC 2 Type II, and a stated aim to be "built for everyone at your company".

Where Heliyos differs

The two products agree on the destination. The differences are who does the work, what the reviewer sees, and how you pay.

• Named workers with fixed jobs. Heliyos ships Taylor, an AI account executive who handles follow-ups, proposals and scheduling, and Parker, an AI platform admin who keeps company, people and deal records current after every email and meeting. Custom workers can be added. Lightfield has one agent with Skills you configure.
• One memory per account with sources. Every Heliyos worker reads the customer memory before acting and writes back afterwards, with the source attached to each fact. Lightfield holds a context graph across the whole business with a history of changes.
• Review with evidence and reasoning. Heliyos sends outbound email, deal stage changes and file sharing to a Reviews queue, with evidence and the worker’s reasoning beside each item. Lightfield’s "For review" queue shows drafted follow-ups with Approve and Dismiss; its pages do not say whether stage changes or shared files pass through it, or whether reasoning is shown.
• A sandboxed computer per worker. Each Heliyos worker runs on its own computer with only the tools its job allows. Lightfield describes an "agent harness for reliable work" inside the platform.
• Pricing on usage with no seats or tiers. Lightfield prices per user on Starter and per workspace above that. Heliyos is in closed beta with a waitlist.

How they handle a meeting that just ended

In Lightfield, the meeting recorder transcribes the call, syncs the deal context to the right account, extracts tasks and drafts a follow-up email, which appears under "For review" for a person to Approve or Dismiss. Lightfield’s pages say the record itself, including deal stages, updates without manual configuration.

In Heliyos, Parker reads the transcript and the thread around it, updates the company, people and deal records in the customer memory and attaches the quote that justified each change. A deal stage change waits in Reviews rather than applying itself. Taylor drafts the follow-up from the same memory and it waits in the same queue with its evidence and reasoning. Nothing reaches the customer until a person approves it.

Setup and time to value

Lightfield says it is "useful on day one, no setup required" and offers a 14-day trial on Starter. Connect email, calendar and Slack and the record starts filling in. Pro and above add a dedicated CSM, and Lightfield says it runs migrations from HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio and Pipedrive.

Heliyos asks you to connect Gmail or Outlook, a calendar and optionally HubSpot, then add accounts to the Watchlist. The first record updates and drafts appear in Reviews. There is no schema to design because the memory shape and the worker jobs are fixed. Access is through a closed beta waitlist.

Pricing and who it fits

Lightfield’s pricing page lists Starter at $89 per user per month, billed monthly, for up to three seats. Pro is $999 a month per workspace on annual billing with five capture seats, unlimited viewer seats and workspace credits for agent work. Growth is $1,999 a month per workspace on annual billing with ten capture seats. Enterprise is custom. Extra capture seats are $200 a month.

Heliyos prices on usage with no seats and no tiers. You pay for the work the workers do. That suits a team where a few people review a lot of worker output. Lightfield’s model suits a team that wants the whole company reading the record through viewer seats.

When to choose Lightfield, when to choose Heliyos, when to run both

• Choose Lightfield if you want a company-wide world model with viewer seats for everyone, a flexible platform with API, MCP and CLI, and you are comfortable with per-seat or per-workspace pricing.
• Choose Heliyos if you want named workers to own record upkeep and follow-up, a Reviews queue with evidence and reasoning on everything outbound, and usage-based pricing. It fits founders and revenue leaders at B2B teams who want to delegate without losing control.
• Running both is uncommon because each wants to be the system of record. Both sync with HubSpot, so a team that keeps HubSpot as the record could run either beside it, but not both.
