The sales intelligence
platform that researches
the account for you
Before you pitch a software project, you need to know the company. What they build on, who they are hiring, what they announced last month, and whether now is a good time to talk. That is an hour per account when you do it by hand. kōdlo does the reading and hands you a research brief with a source behind every claim, in a workspace your whole team shares.

What is a sales intelligence platform?
A sales intelligence platform is software that tells a sales team what it needs to know about a company before reaching out: what the company builds on, who it is hiring, what changed recently and why it might need your offer. Contact databases sell records. Research-first platforms like kōdlo read public sources and cite every claim.
Two roads through the same category.
-
Contact databases
Most tools in this category are contact databases. They sell you records with names, titles and company size, and leave the understanding to you.

kōdlo takes the other road
Research-first
You name an account, and the agent reads the public web about it, writes up what it found as a report, and cites the source of every statement so you can check it before you use it in a conversation. You get fewer records and much more reason to trust each one.
kōdlo is built for sales teams at software houses and IT outsourcing firms
You sell projects your engineers deliver, and every pitch starts with reading about the client. kōdlo does that reading for you and hands you a short brief with a source next to every fact. Your team sees who already wrote to the company, the agent builds the offer from your own case studies, and every note stays on the account for whoever picks it up next.

Everyone has their own AI
One person uses ChatGPT or Claude another Perplexity, a third nothing. One person's research does not exist for the rest.
01 With kōdloThe team and the agent work on the same accounts in one workspace. Research reports land in a shared Deep Research Reports folder that anyone can search.
-
02 Today
Research before a pitch is slow
Tech stack, hiring, announcements, budget signals. About an hour per company.
02 With kōdloDeep search splits the question into parallel research passes and comes back with a cited report. For a long list, a job works through it account by account over several hours.

Nobody on the team knows who wrote to whom
Someone already wrote to this company last month, but nobody remembers who or what they answered.

How account research works in kōdlo
-
Ask
Ask about a company.
Pick Deep search in the agent menu and ask what you want to know, for example "what is changing at this company and where could an external dev team help?"
-
Read
Let it read.
The agent runs several research passes in parallel across public sources. It takes minutes, not seconds, because it reads far more than a single search would.
-
Check
Check the brief.
The report arrives in your workspace with numbered citations and a Sources list. If something could not be found, the report says so in a Limitations note instead of filling the gap.
-
Share
Share it.
Save the report as the PDF file or add it to the Knowledge Hub and it becomes searchable, citable material for the whole team.
-
Scale
Scale it when you need to.
Hand the agent a list of up to 5,000 companies and it researches them one by one as a background job. It takes days, and the job picks up where it left off after any interruption.

Questions teams ask
A contact database sells you records: names, titles, emails, company size. A research-first sales intelligence platform like kōdlo tells you what is happening at a company and why it matters for your offer, with a source behind every claim. Many teams keep a database to find names and use kōdlo to understand the account before they write.
Compare AI sales tools by jobSales intelligence looks outward, at the companies you want to sell to: what they build on, who they hire, what changed. Revenue intelligence looks inward, at your own pipeline and sales calls, to forecast and coach. kōdlo is a sales intelligence platform: it researches the account before and during the deal and keeps that research in one shared workspace.
Yes. Contacts, campaigns and timelines are shared across the workspace, and research reports can be saved as a PDF file or saved to a shared folder in the Knowledge Hub. Documents you keep in a private project stay private, even from workspace admins.
No. It replaces the five or six tools SDRs switch between. Research, prospects, messages, contact history, decks and account tracking live in one workspace, with one memory every agent shares, so nothing gets lost between steps. Your people make the decisions, and the agent asks before it changes any record.
