Is this just another cloud SDR bot?

No. There is no shared-IP scraper and no fixed database in the middle. The agent works in the Chrome you’re already signed into, sourcing from your own Sales Navigator session and reading live company pages. Then it stops and waits for your approval before writing anything to your CRM. You watch every step and can take over at any point.

Do I need to buy a data subscription?

No extra contact-data subscription. The agent uses the access you already pay for: your Sales Navigator seat, its saved searches and paid filters, plus public company sites and news. It reads the same names you could reach yourself, so you’re not renting a second copy of the data.

How fresh is the lead data?

Every field is read from the live page at the moment the agent runs: current titles, headcount, recent funding, and the hiring or news signal behind each “why now.” That’s the difference from a static database, where the export reflects whenever it was last scraped, not today.

Does it write to my CRM safely?

The writeback is queued, never automatic. The agent assembles the batch, dedupes it against contacts already in HubSpot or Salesforce, and surfaces it for your approval in plain language. Nothing is created or changed until you approve, so a bad match never silently lands in your pipeline.

Which AI agents can build lists this way?

Actionbook works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any MCP-compatible client. Connect the one you already use and it can source prospects, qualify them with a reason, and queue the CRM writeback in your own browser.

Building the list…Writeback: you

[ 01 ]How it works

From one ICP brief to a qualified list

Connect the AI you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) to your browser. From one ICP brief it runs four steps, and stops before anything reaches your CRM.

1
Describe your ICP in plain language
No filters to click. Tell the agent who you sell to, like “Series B SaaS, VP Sales in North America, hiring AEs,” and it turns that brief into the searches and qualifying rules it will run.
2
It sources prospects from the access you already pay for
The agent works the Sales Navigator saved searches and paid filters in your own session, then cross-checks company sites and recent news. It reads live data at run time, not a months-old export.
Static lead databases only ever see a snapshot from when they were last scraped.
3
It qualifies each lead and attaches the why
Every prospect is checked against your criteria and tagged with a one-line reason it made the list, like a fresh funding round, a hiring spike, or a new region, so reps know why before they open it.
4
It queues the writeback for your approval
The finished list lands ready to push into HubSpot or Salesforce, deduped against what’s already there. Nothing is written until you approve the batch.

It queues the writeback. You approve the push.

Creating contacts in your CRM is a real write action, so it works like every consequential Actionbook step: the agent assembles and dedupes the batch, then shows you exactly what it wants to create before anything lands in your pipeline.

Queued, not automatic: The default stopping point is a review-ready batch, never a silent write to your CRM.
Deduped first: New contacts are checked against what’s already in HubSpot or Salesforce before the push.
Approve in one pass: The whole batch surfaces in plain language for a single yes, and you can edit before it commits.

Build a list from an ICP

Build me a 20-lead list of Series B SaaS companies in North America with a VP Sales who is hiring AEs. Source from my Sales Navigator saved searches, and return name, title, company, and a one-line why-now per lead.

Sweep domains for hiring signals

Sweep these 30 company domains and open each careers page. Flag the ones posting sales or RevOps roles in the last 30 days, and tell me the role and post date so I can prioritize the warm ones.

Qualify an existing list

Qualify this list of 50 companies against my criteria (Series B+, 50 to 500 employees, NA HQ) by checking each company’s site and recent news. Mark each pass or fail with the reason you decided.

Add news & funding signals

For each company in my current list, check its newsroom and recent press for a funding round, leadership change, or new-market launch in the last 90 days, and attach the signal as the why-now note.

Find the right contact

For these 25 accounts, open each company on Sales Navigator and find the most senior person owning sales. Return their name, title, and the profile link so I can confirm before anything is saved.

Push approved leads to HubSpot

Take the leads I approved, create them as new contacts in my HubSpot, tag each with its why-now note, and skip anyone already in the CRM. Show me the batch and wait for my go-ahead before writing.
