I built Cora Intelligence to tackle a challenge many businesses face: the inefficiency of gathering comprehensive lead information before making contact.

Sales teams often spend countless hours researching potential leads—finding their contact details, understanding their needs, and evaluating if they’re the right fit. It’s a repetitive and time-consuming process. I realized there had to be a better way, so I decided to let AI handle it.

Initially, I developed a custom lead generation tool for a company that needed more than just basic information. They wanted actionable insights like product prices, contact names, and product availability consolidated in one place. After seeing how much time and effort it saved them, I decided to make a more robust version available to everyone.

What is Cora Intelligence? Cora Intelligence is an AI-driven lead generation platform that simplifies prospecting by tailoring leads to your needs. Beyond standard data like email, address, and company name, it can also provide: • Product prices • Contact person details • Product availability

If the data is online, Cora Intelligence gathers it and presents it clearly. It also includes Cora AI, a chatbot connected to each lead. You can ask it additional questions and get instant answers, reducing the need for manual research.

How It Works: 1. Enter Your Industry: Specify the businesses you want to target (e.g., retailers, salons). 2. Customize Your Data Fields: Request custom information like “Owner Name” or “Product Pricing.” 3. Select a Location: Define the geographic area to search for leads. 4. Generate Leads: Receive a tailored list with all the data you requested.

Why Cora Intelligence? I built this tool to save time, eliminate repetitive tasks, and empower sales teams to focus on what matters most—building relationships and closing deals. With Cora Intelligence, you can: • Streamline lead research • Access customized, actionable insights • Spend more time connecting with prospects

If anyone knows of other tools that use AI for lead generation and include a chat feature for instant data retrieval, I’d love to hear about them! Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.




This sounds like a really useful tool for sales teams, especially when lead research can be so time-consuming. Automating the process with AI to gather detailed data like product pricing and availability could save a lot of hours.

A few questions:

How do you ensure the data you pull is reliable and up-to-date, especially for dynamic info like prices or contact names?

How flexible is the tool in terms of custom fields for niche industries?

Are there plans to integrate it with CRMs or other sales tools to make the process even smoother?

It’s great to see tools like this making lead generation more efficient. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
