People Intelligence — Apify Actor

Name + company → structured contact intelligence. $0.10/person.

The natural complement to Company Intelligence. Same buyers, adjacent need: "I know the company — now who do I contact?"

---

The Zero-Code Enrichment Pipeline (Zapier)

The most powerful use case requires zero engineering:

1. New lead enters Salesforce / HubSpot
2. Zapier triggers Company Intelligence → enriched company JSON flows back
3. Zapier triggers People Intelligence → enriched contact JSON flows back
4. Contact created automatically with title, seniority, likely email, and activity signals

Cost per contact: $0.10. No monthly subscription. No seats. No contracts.

Compare to:

• Apollo: ~$1/contact (10x more)
• ZoomInfo: ~$5-15/contact (50-150x more)
• Clay: $400+/month minimum
• Manual research: 15-30 minutes per person

LinkedIn URL	linkedin.com/in/sarah-chen-acme

Companion Actor

Works best paired with Company Intelligence ($0.20/company):

1. Company Intelligence → understand the account (tech stack, size, pain points, opportunity score)
2. People Intelligence → find the right contact (title, seniority, email format, activity)
3. Outreach → go in warm, with context

Always Fresh — Powered by Gemini (Google)

Unlike database-backed tools (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clay) where contact data can be months or years out of date, every run of this actor fetches live data in real time:

• LinkedIn public profile fetched fresh on every run — current title, headline, recent activity
• Company team page scraped live — catches recent hires and org changes
• Google web signals checked for job changes, posts, and public activity

Google Gemini Flash synthesises all of this into structured contact intelligence — so you get a picture of who this person is today, not who they were when a database last crawled them.

What's AI-inferred vs. sourced is clearly labelled in the dataQuality field of every output. Email formats are labelled inferredEmailFormats — pattern-based guesses, not verified addresses. The confidenceScore is AI-estimated and reflects data availability, not a guaranteed match.

Data privacy: inputs are processed by Google's Generative AI API. See Google's privacy policy. Supply your own API key via the googleApiKey input field for high-volume or sensitive use cases. Free API keys available at aistudio.google.com/apikey.

Other notes:

• LinkedIn data comes from publicly indexed pages only — no login, no cookies required.
• Person not found = no charge. We only charge when we deliver meaningful intelligence.
• LinkedIn profiles may have access limits; actor falls back to Google-indexed snippets when needed.
