Why We’re Building a People Search AI Agent (Part 2)

From pain point to product

In our previous post, we explored why the people-finding process is broken — and why AI makes it possible to fix it. Today, we’re excited to reveal the solution we’ve been building: Lessie, your AI partner for discovering and connecting with the right people.

Lessie was born from a simple belief: you should spend your energy on building relationships, not chasing contact lists.

Meet Lessie: Your AI Partner in Connecting with People

Here’s how Lessie works when you give it a task:

1. Understanding Your Needs (Intent Parsing) : Describe your target in plain language — “product managers at fintech startups in Europe” or “podcast hosts who cover climate tech.” Lessie interprets and transforms this into precise search profiles.
2. Searching Far and Wide (Multi-Source Discovery) : Lessie scours professional networks, public databases, social media, conference speaker lists, GitHub, YouTube, and more. It hunts across sources, not just keywords, and compiles candidates in minutes.
3. Reviewing and Refining (AI Ranking & Verification) : It cross-checks emails, filters out bounces, scores relevance, and considers recency or activity signals — so your top 10 results are actually on point.
4. Personalized Outreach (Automated Contact) : Lessie crafts engaging, personalized messages, noting achievements or shared context. It sends them at optimal times and handles polite follow-ups — saving you from writing cold emails yourself.
5. Learning from the Response (Feedback Loop) : Who replied? Who booked a call? Every outcome improves Lessie’s future searches and outreach — becoming more effective the more you use it.

Why We Believe in This Mission

We’re building Lessie AI not just to save time, but to level the playing field.

• A two-person startup should be able to generate a pipeline as strong as a 200-person sales team.
• A nonprofit founder should find corporate sponsors without an existing network.
• Connections that change trajectories shouldn’t be limited to those with money or manpower.

Looking ahead, we imagine a future of AI-to-AI networking: where your agent reaches out to mine, negotiates meeting times, and vets opportunities on both sides. A new kind of professional network, powered by agents.

What’s Next for Lessie

We’re in early beta, learning with every user. Next steps include:

• Better data & deeper searches — expanding sources, improving accuracy.
• Richer decision-making — balancing budgets, goals, and strategy.
• Self-improving skills — learning new platforms and methods autonomously.
• Seamless integrations — connecting with email, Slack, CRM, and more.

Through it all, we keep one principle: you stay in control. Lessie executes, but you set the strategy. Transparency and feedback loops keep the AI aligned with your intent.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Connection

We believe Lessie AI is just the beginning. Professional networking should no longer be limited by time, budget, or who you already know.

We’re still early — and your feedback will help shape what comes next. Join us, try Lessie, and let’s build a smarter way to connect — together.
