Mia is an AI deal intelligence platform.

Backstory (formerly People.ai)vs

People.ai captures activity.
Mia understands deals.

Activity data tells you what happened. Deal intelligence tells you what will happen — and what to do about it. (People.ai is now Backstory.)

Mia delivers the intelligence —
without the enterprise overhead

People.ai maps activity to revenue for enterprise orgs. Mia reads every deal and tells mid-market teams which ones are at risk and why.

Deal-level depth

Deal intelligence, not activity capture.

People.ai captures activity data (emails sent, meetings held) and maps it to revenue. Mia goes deeper — it scores deal health across 13 MEDDPICC dimensions and tells you why a deal is at risk.

5 min vs months

No enterprise implementation.

People.ai requires enterprise implementation, data mapping, and a dedicated admin. Mia connects to your CRM in 5 minutes — deal intelligence at a fraction of the effort.

Mid-market fit

Built for your size, not enterprise.

People.ai is designed for enterprise revenue teams with 100+ sellers. Mia is purpose-built for mid-market teams (5–50 AEs) — right-sized intelligence at the right price.

People.ai counts the touches.
Mia reads what they mean.

The same deal travels both routes. People.ai's route ends at the activity dashboard; Mia's reads what the activity is saying — and arrives before the review.
