An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

AI Agents for Multi-Step Lead Enrichment

AI Agents for Multi-Step Lead Enrichment

A lead from Google Maps or a form submission often arrives with just a name, phone number, and address. Useful outreach requires more: the owner's name, website, services offered, recent activity, and whether the business fits your profile. An AI agent can orchestrate that enrichment across multiple sources in one workflow.

Why enrichment matters

Generic outreach gets ignored. Relevant outreach requires context. A digital agency pitching website services needs to know whether the prospect already has a site, what it covers, and what is missing. An HVAC supplier needs to know which services the contractor offers and whether they serve residential or commercial. Enrichment turns a raw lead into a qualified opportunity.

What multi-step enrichment looks like

The agent starts with the initial lead data. It searches for the business website. If found, it visits the site and extracts services, positioning, contact information, and visible gaps. It checks for social profiles, reviews, and recent news. It verifies the email address if one is available. It scores the lead against the ideal profile and flags it for approval or disqualification. The result is a structured record ready for personalized outreach.

This process used to take twenty minutes per lead. An agent can complete it in under a minute.

Example: contractor lead enrichment

A sales team scrapes fifty HVAC contractors from Google Maps. Each record has a business name, address, phone number, and Google rating. The enrichment workflow searches for each company's website, visits the site if found, records the services offered, checks for online booking, notes any outdated content, searches for the owner's name on LinkedIn or the About page, and verifies the service area. Leads with no website or weak sites are tagged for a website pitch. Leads with strong sites are tagged for a different offer or disqualified.

The team reviews the enriched list and approves outreach. The agent drafted personalized emails referencing the actual website gaps.

Enrichment sources

Common enrichment sources include the business website, Google search results, LinkedIn profiles, social media accounts, online reviews, local business directories, news articles, and domain registration data. The agent visits these sources, extracts relevant facts, and combines them into one profile. It logs the source for every fact.

Verification and scoring

Enrichment should include verification. An agent can check whether an email address is valid, whether a phone number format matches the service area, whether the website is live, and whether recent activity suggests the business is operating. It can score fit based on explicit criteria: service area, company size, service offerings, website quality, and recent growth signals.

Using Actus for enrichment

Actus orchestrates browser research, data extraction, verification, scoring, and CRM updates. An enrichment workflow can start with a raw lead list, visit multiple sources per lead, produce a structured profile, and save qualified leads to a pipeline. The team reviews the profiles and approves next steps.

Guardrails

Do not invent facts. If the website does not list services, mark them as unknown. If the owner's name is not found, leave it blank. Do not assume details from similar businesses. Log every enrichment source with a timestamp. Require approval before using enriched data for outreach.

Implementation steps

Define required enrichment fields.
List enrichment sources and priority order.
Write the qualification and scoring rubric.
Build the workflow and test on ten leads.
Review accuracy of extracted facts.
Identify common failure modes and add fallback logic.
Connect the workflow to your lead source and CRM.
Monitor enrichment quality weekly.

Common enrichment patterns

Website-first: Search for the website, extract primary facts, fill gaps from other sources.
LinkedIn-first: Find the decision-maker, extract role and company, visit company site for details.
Review-based: Check Google or Yelp reviews for service quality and responsiveness signals.
News-based: Search recent news for expansions, hires, awards, or funding that indicate growth.

When enrichment is worth it

Enrichment adds value when personalization improves reply rates enough to justify the time. For high-value B2B leads, enrichment is almost always worth it. For low-ticket or transactional offers, simpler segmentation may suffice. Test both and measure conversion.

Conclusion

Multi-step lead enrichment transforms incomplete records into qualified, context-rich profiles. An AI agent makes this practical at scale by visiting sources, extracting facts, verifying data, and scoring fit in one workflow. The result is outreach that references real context and earns replies. Explore lead enrichment workflows at https://actusagent.cc.
