trycompai/crm was created 2026-07-31 and hit 1,271 stars and 147 forks within 24 hours, an unusually steep curve for a repo that shipped with no GitHub description at all. It inverts the usual pattern: instead of a CRM with AI bolted on, an autonomous research agent built on Vercel's eve framework runs on its own schedule and work queue while Postgres just records what it finds. Concretely that is 18 authored tools, 4 skills as markdown reasoning principles, durable sessions that survive redeploy, a sandbox with deny-all egress and no database access, and a self-dispatching queue using claimDue with FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. It records observed facts with evidence ledgers and deliberately emits no confidence scores. MIT, Turborepo on Bun with Next.js, NestJS and tRPC.
