Zoho CRM lets teams bring QuickML models into records through Custom AI Studio

Zoho CRM's January 2026 release notes contain a Zia entry titled "Use your QuickML models in Zoho CRM with Custom AI Studio." The update connects models deployed in QuickML to CRM records. Admins configure the mapping between CRM fields and model inputs, and the model's output appears in a widget on the record detail page. Zoho says users can view predictions and recommendations without leaving the module they are working in.
