What it does

Goes beyond field-matching: an agent reads around each podcast guest — their episode, recent posts, their company's situation — and produces a short, human-readable brief on why this person is worth a conversation and what angle to lead with. Each researched lead lands in HubSpot as a contact with the brief and an assigned follow-up task.

When to use it

Use this when your reps need context, not just contact rows. For higher-value or consultative sales where a generic mail-merge falls flat, the agent's reasoning gives the rep an informed, specific opener and saves them the manual digging.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule starts the weekly research run.
  2. 2An Apify actor scrapes recent guests from your target shows.
  3. 3For each guest, the agent runs Exa searches to gather company news, role, and recent public activity.
  4. 4The agent judges ICP fit and discards guests that don't clear the bar.
  5. 5For those that pass, the agent drafts a one-page outreach brief with a recommended angle.
  6. 6A HubSpot contact is created or updated with the brief in notes, then a follow-up task is assigned to the owning rep.
