Getting Started

Just tell me who to research:

"Research Stripe"
"Look up the CTO at Notion"
"Intel on acme.com"
"Who is Sarah Chen at TechCorp?"
"Tell me about [company] before my call"

I'll run web searches immediately. If you have enrichment or CRM connected, I'll pull that data too.

Connectors (Optional)

Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:

Connector	What It Adds
Enrichment	Verified emails, phone numbers, tech stack, org chart, funding details
CRM	Prior relationship history, past opportunities, existing contacts, notes

No connectors? No problem. Web search provides solid research for any company or person.
