Build a Dream 100 prospect list from AI web research

You describe your ideal customer and the AI searches the web to find 100 matching prospects in Google Sheets.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Building a list of ideal prospects by hand means hours of searching, cross-checking, and copying names into a spreadsheet. Most people give up after a handful of names instead of building the full list they actually need. This does the research for you and hands you a ready-to-use list.

Who it fits

Sales teams or founders doing outbound prospecting who need a fast list of ideal-fit companies.

How it works

  1. You tell the AI agent about your business and your ideal customer
  2. It turns your criteria into specific search prompts
  3. Perplexity searches the web using those prompts to find matching companies
  4. AI reformats the results into clean entries
  5. The list is added to Google Sheets for you to review
What you get

A hundred matching prospects without searching yourself

Describe your ideal customer and a list of one hundred matching prospects appears in Google Sheets, ready for outreach.

What you get

A Google Sheet listing up to 100 prospects that match your ideal customer profile.

What you need

An OpenRouter API key, a Perplexity API key, and a Google account for Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
