With kōdlo Describe your best-fit customer. Discovery agent finds companies and people that match, then explains why each one fits.

Describe ### Define your best-fit customer Tell kōdlo what your product does, who gets the most value from it, and what makes a company a good fit. The agent asks you questions and turns your answers into an ideal customer profile. If your audience is still broad, it helps you work through the gaps instead of guessing. Find ### Find prospects that fit Discovery agent searches the open web for prospects and companies that match your profile. It returns potential clients and explains why each company fits, who may be worth contacting, and where the evidence came from. Companies already in your campaign are left out. Review ### Choose the prospects worth your time Review the suggestions before importing anything. Keep the prospects that look promising and skip the rest. The reason each one was found stays on its timeline, so you can pick up the context later. Research ### Learn what matters before you write Run Deep Search on the prospects worth pursuing. Agents reads across multiple sources and creates a short report with citations, so you can understand what the company is doing and where your product may help without opening a dozen tabs. Draft ### Write a message in your tone of voice Add your product documents to the Knowledge Hub. kōdlo combines them with the research and drafts a first message in your saved tone of voice. You edit it, decide whether it is right, and send it yourself. Keep going ### Keep the next step in sight Set a scheduled check for an account or create a follow-up task for yourself. Your research, messages and next steps stay together, so you can go back to building and return later without losing the thread. Control ## Review each prospect before it enters your workspace Discovery suggests prospects; you decide which ones to import.
