Problem
Account executives manually research prospects before every engagement, searching across the web, business directories, and multiple data sources to compile a comprehensive profile of companies they are about to contact. This repetitive process is performed multiple times daily, consumes significant preparation time, and delays outreach to potential customers.

Research accounts before outreach
On a set schedule, an AI agent works through the list of companies in the company database, picks up any that have not been researched yet, and runs live web research to gather the specific details the team asks for, judging what is relevant for each company as it goes. It compiles the findings into a consistently structured brief, creates a document for it, and writes the link back to the company record.

Qualify inbound leads against your ICP
When a new lead is submitted through the intake form, an AI agent researches the company using live web search and weighs what it finds against the Ideal Customer Profile and disqualifiers pulled from uploaded knowledge files. It judges fit for each lead in context, then logs an ICP match score and a short evidence based reason to a spreadsheet.

Draft personalized outreach for leads
On a set schedule, an AI agent picks up each lead not yet emailed from the lead list, runs live web research on their company, and pulls product positioning and proof points from uploaded knowledge files to draft a tailored subject and message guided by the rep's pitch direction. It writes the draft back to the lead record, sends it by email and marks the lead when sending is enabled, and skips any lead missing an email, company, or website with a note explaining why.
