Short answer

How can I use AI to find companies with buying signals?

You tell your agent to look for specific triggers like new funding or leadership changes. It finds the data and hands you a targeted list of prospects. You'll get a breakdown of the specific triggers and company details.

The results.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes signals and organizes them into these four outcomes.

LISTS

Targeted prospect lists

The AI uses search_signals to pull companies meeting your criteria. You get a clean list of accounts that just hit a trigger.

DETAILS

Specific signal data

The AI uses get_signal to pull the exact reason a company is a lead. You'll see the specific funding amount or the name of the new hire.

HUMAN

Review and outreach

The AI stops before sending anything. You look over the signals to decide which companies actually deserve an email.

CRM

Ready for your CRM

Once you approve the list, you can move these leads into your sales tools. The AI handles the heavy lifting of finding the triggers.

The workflow

What your AI does when the signal arrives.

The AI handles the scanning and data retrieval so you don't have to manually hunt through news feeds.

  1. Scan for triggers

    Your agent looks for specific B2B events like a company raising a Series B or a new VP starting a role.

    search_signals

  2. Pull signal specifics

    Once a match is found, the AI grabs the granular details of that specific event.

    get_signal

  3. Filter the results

    search_signals

  4. Present the list

    Does the AI update my CRM automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the prospects, but it does not have the ability to write to or modify your CRM data.

    What kind of signals can it find?

    It can find B2B events like funding rounds, job changes, and other relevant business triggers.

  • 04

    Can I limit the search to a specific industry?

    Yes. You can specify the industry, location, or company size in your prompt.

  • 05

    Does the AI decide which leads are good?
