👋 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.

AnswerGrid's approach to outbound is spot on! Tailoring lead qualification beyond basic filters and leveraging AI tools for precision ensures targeting the right prospects, not just casting a wide net. Excited to see how this can refine lead generation. What strategies do you use to ensure your outbound efforts are both personalized and scalable?

Great to see a tool that can refine lead qualification beyond basic filter. this approach might make prospecting much more efficient

I’m impressed with how intuitive this looks. My biggest issue with data tools has always been the learning curve, so I’m hoping this is as user-friendly as it seems.

I like how this makes data analysis way more accessible feels like something I could actually use daily.

Congrats on the launch! The ability to collaborate with teammates in real-time while digging into data is exactly what I’ve been needing.

Congrats team! AnswerGrid has been super great for lead generation & enrichment

I’ve used tools with basic lead filtering before, but this advanced qualification feature is a a big step up

I appreciate the focus on avoiding pammy tactics and finding genuinely valuable leads

The integration with linkdin and CrunchBase is a strong stat looking forward to seeing how the AI handles more complex queries.

Great job, nice and easy to use. I watched the video and can see how much effort goes into researching and writing the right prompt. One thing you could add is a prompt library unless I didn't see it.
