Contact research tool before calls
Cold researches every contact before you speak to them. You just show up.
Most people prepare for important meetings. Almost nobody prepares for every meeting. There's never enough time to research a contact properly, find the relevant news about their company, dig up the last email thread, and remember what you agreed last time — not when you have six calls in a day.
Cold does it automatically. Before every call, a full briefing on the contact is ready — without you asking for it.
An agent that runs on everyone. From day one.
Cold ships with a contact research agent enabled out of the box. No setup. No configuration. No list of contacts to manually add. The moment Cold connects to your calendar and inboxes, the agent starts running — on every contact you meet, every call you take, every person who lands in your inbox.
It doesn't wait for you to flag someone as important. It runs on everyone. The investor you're meeting tomorrow. The customer you've spoken to twenty times. The new prospect who just booked their first call. Cold researches all of them, continuously, in the background — so you're never caught unprepared.
What Cold researches before every call:
Your conversation history. Every email, LinkedIn DM, WhatsApp message, and Slack thread with this contact — summarised and surfaced before you walk in. You never have to search for the last thing you said.
Their background. Current role, career history, how long they've been at the company, mutual connections. The context that makes the first five minutes of a call feel like a continuation, not a cold start.
Recent company news. Funding announcements, product launches, leadership changes, press coverage — anything that's happened at their company recently that's worth knowing before you speak.
Live web research. Cold's agent searches the web before every call — not just at the point of contact creation. If something changed last week, Cold knows about it.
Your private notes. Anything you've captured about this contact — deal context, personal details, follow-up triggers — surfaces automatically in the briefing.
How it works:
Cold connects to your calendar and monitors upcoming meetings. For every meeting, the research agent runs automatically — pulling together conversation history from Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Slack, live web research on the contact and their company, and any notes you've added. The briefing is ready before you need it. No prompt required. No exceptions.
