# Introduction
> Cargo is the AI workforce for GTM — automate prospecting, enrichment, and outreach with AI-powered tools, agents, and plays.
Cargo helps revenue teams automate their go-to-market workflows with AI. Build custom tools, deploy intelligent agents, and orchestrate plays that run on autopilot — all connected to your CRM and data warehouse.
## Get started
Build your first automation in minutes.
Create reusable automations that enrich, score, or transform your data
Deploy AI agents that research prospects and take action autonomously
Orchestrate multi-step workflows triggered by real-time signals
Define and manage the data that powers your GTM motions
## Learn the platform
Dive deeper into Cargo's core concepts.
Single-purpose automations for enrichment, scoring, and actions
AI-powered workers that reason, research, and execute tasks
Event-driven workflows that orchestrate your GTM stack
Structured data tables that power your plays and workflows
Unstructured data like documents, PDFs, and knowledge bases
Route and assign leads to the right reps automatically
Connect Cargo to your CRM, warehouse, and enrichment tools
## Expressions
Expressions are how you reference and transform data in Cargo. In many fields (e.g. tool inputs, action parameters) you can choose how the value is provided: **Manual**, **Expression**, **AI**, or **Recipe**. Each mode is suited to different use cases.
### Input modes
| Mode | When to use it |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Manual** | Enter a fixed value (text, number, etc.) that does not depend on other nodes or runtime data. |
| **Expression** | Compute the value with JavaScript or a template. Reference outputs from previous nodes (e.g. `{{ nodes.start.company_domain }}`) and transform them. No AI involved. |
| **AI** | Let the model generate the value from context. Use when you want dynamic, language-model–driven output (e.g. summarizing, formatting, or generating text from other fields). |
| **Recipe** | Reuse a saved expression from the recipe catalog. Pick an existing recipe or create one so the same logic can be used in multiple places. |
Manual gives you a static value; Expression and AI give you dynamic values (your code vs. the model); Recipe is a reusable, catalog-backed expression. Use the mode selector on expression-capable fields to switch between them.
