Get Company Details Instantly

The `search_companies` tool lets you find company records directly. You input search criteria, and the agent pulls back live data without needing to open a browser or dedicated platform. It's great for building quick lists of prospects. Just run `enrich_company` on a list of names to fill in missing details like size and industry.

Enriching Lead Information

Need more context on a specific lead? Call `search_contacts` first, then pass the results to `enrich_contact`. This process pulls deep data points that go beyond basic contact info. Using this tool means your AI agent doesn't stop at an email address. It grabs full profiles so you know exactly who you're talking to.

Monitoring Company Activity

The `get_company_news` function fetches the latest news for any company you name. This helps your AI agent keep context on market moves and recent corporate announcements. For deeper analysis, run `search_intent` to see what signals are trending around that industry or competitor.
