@Scout can you find twenty seed-stage dev tool companies that look like a fit this week? Draft an intro ask for the top ones.

Scout

Done. I checked 38 companies and kept 20 that match your rules. Each row has why it fits, who to contact and where I found it. The top 8 have a short intro draft, and two of them go through a mutual contact. I left out the three you turned down last month.

What it takes off your plate

The research you never have time for.

You decide who to talk to and what to say. The bot does the digging, keeps the sheet and drafts the first version of every ask.

Company research

Finds companies that match the customer you describe, reading their sites in its own web browser.

Find 20 companies that look like our best customer

Target list in a sheet

Builds the list in Excel: company, why it fits, who to contact and where it found that.

Put this week’s targets in a sheet with sources

Fit scoring

Score the list against our fit rules

Intro drafts

Drafts a short intro ask for each company, in the way you like to write.

Warm intro notes

Everything in the thread

Attach the list and drafts here when they’re ready
Standing jobs

A fresh list every Monday.

Standing jobs run on their own and the sheet turns up in the right thread. It remembers who’s already on the list.

  • On a schedule. Daily, weekly or once. The result lands in the thread or the Slack channel you pick.
  • Remembers how you work. Tell it once. It keeps notes, and you can read and edit every one.
  • Every job is a thread. What was asked, what it did and what came back, kept together.

Updated memory for Scout
A computer of its own

It does the digging on its own computer.

Your research bot has a terminal, files and a real browser. It reads company pages and builds the sheet on disk. You can watch, or take the wheel.

  • Watch it live. See the page it’s on and what it’s pointing at, as it works.
  • Take the wheel. Take over to sign in or show it the way, then hand it back.
  • Files everyone can open. What it makes lands in Drive, next to the thread that asked for it.

Before and after the bot.

Without it
  • Forty browser tabs on a Sunday night
  • A list in your head, not a sheet
  • No idea why a company made the cut
  • The same company researched twice
  • Too tired to write the emails
With Scout
  • A list is waiting on Monday morning
  • Every row has who, why and a source
  • The best fits sit at the top
  • It remembers who’s already on the list
  • Drafts are ready, and you just edit and send
You stay in charge

Nothing goes out without your yes.

A bad first email can close a door for good. So the bot researches and drafts, and you decide what gets sent.

Describe your customer

Write who your customer is, what makes a good fit and how you like to write. It keeps that in its notes.

Questions

What teams ask about AI sales research.

Can AI build a prospect list for me?

Yes. In Caret (caretbot.com) a research bot looks up companies in its own browser and builds the list in a spreadsheet, with a fit score and the reason for each company.

Will an AI sales assistant email prospects on its own?

Not in Caret. Sending is one of the actions where the bot asks first. You can also keep it to drafts and send them yourself.

How does it decide what counts as a good fit?

You write the rules in its job: company size, stage, what they build, who to skip. It scores each company against them and says why.

Will it remember who’s already on the list?

Yes. Its memory lasts between conversations, so it skips companies it already found and the kinds you turned down.

How much does an AI sales prospecting assistant cost on Caret?

A sales research bot can be a salesperson’s own bot or one of the team’s bots for jobs. Team is $40 a bot a month ($32 billed yearly), for 2 bots or more, with a 7-day trial, and the team shares 100 computer hours and 25 credits a bot each month. Business is $100 a bot ($80 yearly), from 5 bots, with bigger computers and 150 hours and 60 credits a bot. Business Plus is $200 a bot with 160 credits a bot.
