AI Prospect Research Agent Development

The account, read before the call

An agent that does the reading before a sales conversation.

Area of workSales and business development
Status todayA proposed workflow that we build to order. Nothing is running yet.
How it is builtCustom development around your own systems, with a named person behind every decision the agent does not take.

An agent that does the reading before a sales conversation. It researches the accounts you choose from sources you approved, and returns a short brief in which every fact carries its link and the date it was read.

Good account research is slow, and bad research is worse than none. A rep spends forty minutes across a website, a news search and a registry, or five minutes with a tool that returns a confident paragraph nobody can verify. Then a meeting opens with a fact that turns out to be about a different company with a similar name.

This page describes a workflow we propose to build as a custom project. It does not exist as software yet. It would build on the account research that runs in our outreach preparation demonstration on test data, where each fact keeps its link and the date it was read. Contact research, fuller briefs and a research queue are not built.

Six jobs it carries through

Source-bound research

Reads only the sources you approved.

  • Company website and newsroom
  • Registries and filings you list
  • Licensed data providers
  • Nothing from sources off your list

Where it stopsA source you did not approve is never read.

How the Work Is Done Today

01

Facts without a source

A brief says the company is expanding and nobody knows where that came from.

02

The wrong company

Two firms share a name, and the brief mixes them.

03

Stale information

A funding round from three years ago is presented as news.

04

Contacts of unknown origin

Names and emails appear with no record of how they were obtained.

05

Everything, unranked

Thirty facts, none marked as mattering for your offer.

06

Research nobody reuses

Each rep researches the same account again.

04In practice

How One Request Moves Through

An example of one case, in 6 steps. The same steps play in the picture at the top of this page.

01 / 06

Account chosen

A rep adds a logistics company to the research queue before a first call.

02 / 06

Company confirmed

The domain and the registry entry agree. A similarly named haulier is noted and set aside.

03 / 06

Sources read

The company's own site and newsroom are read, along with the registry you approved.

04 / 06

Facts recorded

A new depot announced last month is recorded with its link, the date read and the article date.

05 / 06

Relevance marked

The depot is marked as relevant because your criteria include multi-site operations.

06 / 06

Brief delivered

A one-page brief lands on the account record, with two questions it could not answer.

Walk One Real Case Through It

Thirty minutes, one case from your own process. We map it against the workflow on this page and tell you plainly what can be reused from our demonstrations and what has to be built for your systems.

Where It Connects

  • registries
  • licensed data providers

  • Account and contact records

Criteria

  • What makes an account relevant to you

  • Where facts, links and dates are kept

Where reps work

  • CRM, email or chat
06Operating boundaries

Every Fact Has a Link and a Date

The brief is only as good as its evidence, so the agent keeps the source with each statement and labels anything it inferred. If two sources disagree it shows both. If it found nothing, it says what it searched.

It reads the sources on your list and no others. Whether a source may be used, and what personal data you may hold about a contact, are decisions for your business.

  • Only sources you approved
  • A link and a date for every fact
  • Inference labelled as such
  • Wrong-company risks flagged
  • Personal data within your rules
  • It contacts no one
07Questions

Asked Before the First Call

How is this different from the AI SDR and outreach agent?

Research is one step of outreach, and here it is the whole job. This agent produces briefs for people: before a call, a meeting or a proposal. It does not screen contacts for outreach, draft messages or handle replies.

How is this different from the competitor intelligence agent?

Prospect research looks at one company you want to sell to, on request. Competitor intelligence watches a fixed set of companies you compete with, continuously, and reports changes. The source rules are the same.

Where does the information come from?

From sources you approve in advance. Typically that is a company's own website and newsroom, public registries and any data provider you hold a licence for. The agent does not scrape personal social profiles, and it does not use a source that is not on your list.

What exists today?

Not as software yet. This page describes a proposed workflow. It would build on the account research that runs in our outreach preparation demonstration on test data, where each fact keeps its link and the date it was read. Contact research, fuller briefs and a research queue are not built. A project starts by mapping your process, then proving the first steps on test data before anything touches a live system.

Pick Five Accounts You Know Well

We will research them and you can check the briefs against what you already know. That is the fastest way to see what is missing.
