AI agents that help you find leads and research prospects

AI agents for lead finding pull business contacts from Google Maps, LinkedIn, and other websites, research each prospect, and in some cases write and send the cold emails that follow. The 12 agents listed here are mostly self-hosted apps and connectors that work with Claude or ChatGPT, and 8 are free and open source. Only 1 adds to an AI app you already use, and most of the rest start with a guided command-line setup.

What these agents do

  • Exporting local business leads from Google Maps to a CSV file
  • Pulling LinkedIn profiles and company pages into Claude for prospect research
  • Recording researched facts about contacts and companies in a customer database
  • Writing and sending cold emails, then booking meetings with prospects who reply
  • Watching websites and news feeds for signals worth contacting a prospect about

What to check before choosing one

  • Check whether it only collects leads or also sends cold emails on your behalf without your approval.
  • Confirm which sources it pulls leads from, such as Google Maps, LinkedIn, or any website you point it at.
  • Check if it runs on your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription or bills you per call or search.
  • Check how leads come out, as a CSV file or saved straight into a customer database you already use.
