DATA INFRASTRUCTURE · INTENT INTELLIGENCE

Data Infrastructure for Intent Intelligence

The topics your buyers research, the companies surging on them this week, the people behind the surge and the posts that reveal it, delivered as standing watches and a digest that names who to call and why. The infrastructure under intent intelligence, run by autonomous AI agents.

⟨ THE JOB TODAY ⟩

Where the week actually goes.

01 /

Intent arrives as a score with no story

The dashboard says an account is "hot" and the rep has no idea on what topic, since when or who at the company is doing the reading. A number without a reason is hard to act on and easy to ignore.

02 /

Signals live in separate tabs

Intent in one tool, hiring in another, funding in a newsletter, posts in a feed. The account that is surging on your topic, hiring a RevOps lead and just raised looks like three unrelated alerts.

03 /

Watching is manual

Someone checks the intent tool on Fridays, exports a CSV and sends it to the team. If Friday is busy, the surge from Monday is discovered the following week.

What changes when agents carry the work.

Topics, mapped to your category

The intent topics that describe what your buyers research, suggested from your site and ICP, confirmed by you, and used as the standing definition of "interested" across every watch.

Companies and their timeline

The companies surging, rising or steady on your topics with a week-by-week timeline, joined to hiring, funding, technology and news on the same account so one surge becomes a story.

The people behind the surge

Contacts at each surging company matched to the topic, plus posting-based intent where a person wrote about the problem, verified through a waterfall of licensed sources.

HOW IT WORKS

From objective to delivered rows.

  1. 01 · TOPICS

    Confirm topics

    The agents propose intent topics from your site and ICP; you keep, drop or add. Competitor names and category terms count as topics.

  2. 02 · WATCH

    Choose who to watch

    A target list, a CRM segment, the whole ICP or the open market on your topics. Suppression removes customers and open deals from the alerts.

  3. 03 · READ

    Read the surge

    Each run pulls the companies moving on your topics with their timeline and joins the other signal families on the same accounts.

  4. 04 · PEOPLE

    Find the people

    Contacts matched to the topic at each moving account, posting-based intent added, emails verified before they count.

  5. 05 · DIGEST

    Rank and digest

    Accounts ranked by fit and signal strength, a digest written with the topic, the timeline and the person to reach, posted where the team reads.

  6. 06 · DELIVER

    Deliver

    Intent stage and topic written to the CRM as properties, contacts staged as a batch and drafts held for the rep, after one approval.

Weekly intent digest for the team

Every Monday, the ICP accounts that surged on your topics last week ranked by fit, with the topic, the timeline, the other signals on the account and one verified contact each, posted to Slack.

The week’s ten warmest accounts with a reason and a name.

Intent stage on every CRM account

Your target accounts watched on a schedule, intent stage and topic written to HubSpot as properties after approval, so views, sequences and routing key off who is researching.

Intent inside the CRM instead of beside it.

Competitor-topic watch

Companies researching a competitor by name, joined to any stack change or relevant hiring, with the person behind the research found and verified.

Accounts mid-evaluation, surfaced before the decision.

Posting-based intent on open deals

Contacts on open opportunities watched for posts about the problem you solve, so the rep sees the champion write about the pain the same week and follows up with the post in hand.

Follow-ups timed to what the buyer just said.

GOVERNED AUTONOMY

Safe enough to actually turn on.

⟨ CONTROL PLANE ⟩ENFORCED AT RUNTIME · NOT ADVISORY

Watching is free, writes wait

Watches, feeds and digests run inside the credit ceiling and bill only the lookups they trigger. Writing intent properties or contacts into the CRM is staged for a person to approve.

Suppression on alerts

Customers, open opportunities and the workspace suppression list are removed from digests unless you ask for them, so the team reads new opportunity.

Evidence on every alert

Each account in a digest shows the topic, the timeline and the other signals that ranked it, so a rep can judge the alert before acting on it.

Licensed intent only

Intent, posting and people data come from licensed providers. The agents never scrape member networks.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does data infrastructure for intent intelligence mean?

The layer that turns buyer-intent data into something a rep can act on: topics mapped to your category, the companies surging on them with a timeline, the people behind the surge verified, all joined to hiring, funding, technology and news on the same accounts and delivered as standing watches and digests.

Where does intent data come from?

From licensed providers that observe research activity across the web by topic, plus posting-based intent where a person publicly writes about the problem. The agents join both to firmographics and other signals through a waterfall of licensed sources. No member networks are scraped.

Can it tell me who at the company is researching?

Often, yes. Buying-intent data at the contact level identifies the people matched to a topic at a surging account, and posting-based intent adds anyone who wrote about the problem. Both are verified before they count and ranked first in the digest.

What is a standing watch?

A list of accounts, a CRM segment or your whole ICP that the agents check on a schedule for intent and every other signal family. Each run produces a ranked digest of what moved and stages any CRM update for approval. Watches cost nothing to keep; only lookups bill.

How is intent joined to other signals?

Every account in a watch is resolved to a canonical domain, and intent, hiring, funding, technology changes, news and leadership moves are attached to that same record with dates. A surge that coincides with a new RevOps role and a round ranks above a surge alone.

Where does the digest go?

To Slack, to a Google Sheet or into the CRM as intent stage and topic properties on each account after approval, with contacts and drafts staged for the rep. The API, MCP server and CLI return the same ranked accounts as JSON for your own agents.

What does intent intelligence cost?

Watches, feeds and digests are free. Intent lookups are a few credits per company and a verified contact is a few credits, shown before the run. Misses on contact finding cost nothing, every rate is shown in the console before a watch is saved, and plans start at $49 per month.
