Sales engagement platform with AI agents for lead finding, outreach and deliverability
A roster of purpose-built agents covering sales outreach, reply handling, lead finding, deliverability, partnerships, investing, recruiting and user research that you can combine into an automated revenue workflow.
Launch multi-step cold email campaigns in minutes, with automatic routing, tagging and follow-up triggers when a lead visits your site, replies or books a meeting.
Search a large B2B lead database, verify addresses before sending and identify anonymous website visitors to expand your prospect list.
Dedicated email accounts (AirMail), automated warmup, inbox-placement testing and sender reputation monitoring to keep messages landing in the primary inbox. There is no AI-generated or role prose youll want to keep.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
