# Funkel AI product overview

> Funkel AI spots the moments people are ready to buy, like a new role, fresh funding, or a post about the problem you solve. Six AI specialists find them, write to them, follow up, and send your booking link. Nothing sends until you turn it on.

## What Funkel AI does

Funkel AI turns public buying signals, company data, and trusted lists into reviewed people and supported outreach workflows. Source proof stays attached through qualification, message review, sending, replies, and learning.

## Core workflow

1. Add a public signal, company row, or trusted list.
2. Resolve the company and person with visible source evidence.
3. Review buyer fit, identity, source freshness, and the supported outreach route.
4. Approve the lead and message when the evidence supports contact.
5. Run controlled follow-up through a connected LinkedIn, X, or email account.
6. Keep replies, stops, outcomes, and learning with the original source reason.

## Public capabilities

### Company-to-person search

Upload company data, choose target roles, review costs, and find evidence-backed decision-makers inside Funkel AI.

- Page: https://funkel.ai/features/company-to-person
- Input: Company name plus domain or company LinkedIn URL
- Work: Select companies and target roles, then run a bounded search
- Output: Reviewable people with company, role, profile, and evidence
- Control: Approval adds people to a lead list. It does not send outreach.

### Clay integration

Connect Clay to Funkel AI, receive company data automatically, and review every company search before credits are used.

- Page: https://funkel.ai/integrations/clay
- Input: A Clay HTTP API row with company data
- Work: Preview the company search and keep the event pending
- Output: A reviewed company-to-person job in Funkel AI
- Control: Receiving a Clay row never starts a paid search automatically.

### Hacker News source

Monitor Hacker News topics, preserve the original post, find out who they are, and use LinkedIn only after a verified profile match.

- Page: https://funkel.ai/sources/hacker-news
- Input: Configured topics and AI-assisted search queries
- Work: Collect the post, find out who they are, and check buyer fit
- Output: A reviewable lead with the source evidence attached
- Control: LinkedIn outreach stays blocked until Funkel finds a matching LinkedIn profile.

## Important boundaries

- A lead source is not automatically an outreach channel.
- Incomplete identity remains in review and cannot use an unsupported route.
- Paid company and Clay searches require a visible estimate and explicit confirmation.
- Sender limits, approval modes, pause rules, reply stops, and suppression rules remain active.
- Funkel AI does not guarantee replies, meetings, revenue, or risk-free platform use.
