What your Hunter agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Hunter × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound email → verified contact, instant brief
When a prospect emails your support alias from an unknown address, your agent instantly searches Hunter for every known contact at that domain, verifies the sender's address for deliverability, and posts a full contact brief to the assigned rep in Slack — name, role, company headcount signal, and suggested talking points — before the rep has even opened their inbox. No more cold-calling someone who already wrote in. The calendar invite goes out within four minutes of the first email.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
