👋 Hey, Product Hunt! Bolu and Noah here. We’re excited to introduce AnswerGrid, an AI-powered prospecting research tool. We want to help you discover the 30 [*] most relevant leads worth the investment of manual outbound every day by deploying AI agents to qualify prospects based on your precise criteria. You can try it here: https://app.answergrid.ai Our take on thoughtful outbound: • Tailored Lead Qualification: Go beyond simple industry filters and keywords. AnswerGrid provides tools to evaluate companies against any set of qualifying questions. For example, one of our users asks questions like “Do they offer subscription or usage-based pricing?” to qualify their leads. • Scale without spam: AnswerGrid helps you deploy your qualification playbook to discover the needles in the haystack that are worth the investment of manual outbound instead of scaling AI “personalization” for irrelevant leads. How it works: 1) Starting with sources like Crunchbase, Apollo, and LinkedIn as a data foundation, we find leads that match a simple high-level company profile: “Series A Biotech startups in the US.” 2) You can then further qualify these leads using a suite of AI-powered tools such as (1) “web scrape” to answer questions from the prospects’ landing pages (or any other URL) and (2) “web search” to get answers from the open web about each prospect along with citations. 3) Downstream of this qualification, you can get the contact details of your ideal user using their job title. The goal is for these tools to mirror the same level of thoroughness you would use in manually researching a lead. But this time, you can do it for thousands of prospects at a go. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a super-precise ICP that you can't reach reliably, you can start a free trial here (no credit card required) to see if we can help out: https://app.answergrid.ai If you have another use case you’d like to use the tool for or have any other feedback, you can reach me at [email protected] Thanks! Footnote [*] Why 30 leads daily? We’re not dogmatic about it, but we’ve found this is about the number of daily personalised messages you can write before starting to sound like an LLM, which takes us back to where we started. There are other practical bottlenecks, such as LinkedIn connection limits.
