💡 Pull Background Info About A Prospect
The most popular ChatGPT plugin from this weekend’s video was Clearbit - an automated way to creep on strangers on the internet. But like, for business.

Provide an email address and it’ll go fetch details like businesses they’re associated with, estimated revenue, number of employees, even the tech they use.
It’s a tool used heavily by software companies to score leads in a more automated way, because in the end we’re all just numbers in a simulation.
It’s worth noting Clearbit won’t be accurate 100% of the time - but it can be a good jumping-off point to gather more info about a lead.
The service integrates with some CRMs to pull that info automatically, but now with a free account you can pull those details via ChatGPT.
