Miss that moment on a static list and you are one of many vendors arriving late. 01 ### Crowded and noisy category Every AI vendor is reaching out at once. Without timing, your message is just one more in a flooded inbox. 02 ### Buyers are hard to pin down The person who owns AI tooling varies by company, and they are only in-market for a short stretch after a trigger. 03 ### Static lists miss the moment A contact list does not tell you which company just hired its first ML team or just raised to build an AI product. 04 ### Cold outreach is ignored Generic AI pitches get tuned out. A message tied to a real, recent move stands out because it is relevant. 05 ### Hard to qualify intent Interest in AI is everywhere, but real buying intent is not. You need the signal that separates a browser from a buyer. The solution ## Catch companies the moment they invest in AI CatchIntent watches for the events that mean a company is building or buying AI, and surfaces the right person behind each one. ### AI and ML hiring signals A spike in data, ML, or AI engineering roles shows a company is investing in the space and will need tooling. ### New data and AI leaders A new head of data or AI reassesses the stack fast. CatchIntent surfaces them in that first-90-days window. ### Funding signals Companies that just raised to build AI products have budget and urgency. Reach them while both are fresh. ### Competitor and category signals Find people engaging with a competing AI tool or discussing the problem you solve, while it is top of mind. ### Scored leads with drafted openers Each lead arrives with a warmth score, a one-line reason, and an opener tied to the signal, ready to send. How it works ## From setup to *warm leads* Five minutes of config, leads start flowing the same day. Step 01 ### Describe your buyer Set your ICP, your competitors, and the signals that mark a company investing in AI. Step 02 ### Agents do the discovery Agents watch LinkedIn for AI and ML hiring, new data and AI leaders, funding, and competitor engagement. Step 03 ### Warm leads land scored Each lead arrives with a warmth score, a one-line reason, and an opener grounded in the signal. Step 04 ### Send and track Send from your own account or push to your CRM, and track replies and pipeline in one place. Why teams pick CatchIntent ## Outcomes, *not features* ### Reach buyers in the window Get to a company while it is actively building or buying AI, before it has settled on a vendor. ### Cut through the noise A message anchored to a real, recent move stands out in a category where everyone is pitching at once. ### Higher reply rates Relevance and timing lift replies far above a generic AI cold sequence. ### Qualified intent, not just interest Signals separate companies actually investing in AI from the many that are merely curious. ### Less manual research The discovery runs on its own, so your team spends its time on conversations, not list-building. ### Fits your stack Push scored leads and drafted openers into the CRM and sender you already use.

Competitor engagement and category discussions are useful softer signals. A list tells you which companies use AI. CatchIntent tells you which ones just started investing, by watching for the triggers, and hands you the person already scored with a drafted opener. It helps most in crowded categories. When every vendor is cold-pitching, the one message that references a real, recent move is the one that gets read and answered. No. It finds and prepares the right leads and drafts the opener, then you send from your own account or push to your sender of choice. Yes. The signals adapt to your ICP, whether you sell to data and ML engineers, product teams, or executives sponsoring AI initiatives. From use case to deployed ## Spin up your first agent in *five minutes* No card-on-file gotchas. No "talk to sales" gate. Your first warm leads land tomorrow.
