Discovery call research automation
Discovery call research automation gives every rep a pre-call brief before every prospect meeting, generated by an agent that scrapes and structures the same source data a strategist would gather by hand. It means every prospect gets the same depth of prep, not just the ones a rep had time to research, so no call opens on guesswork.
What does a pre-call brief include?
Four parts, each grounded in real source data and structured so a rep can read it in a couple of minutes before the call. Not a template filled in from memory, a read of the evidence.
Company snapshot
What the prospect does, how big they are, and the recent moves that matter, pulled from public sources and structured into a page a rep can read in two minutes.
Marketing footprint
What the prospect is already running, where the visible gaps are, and the angles a competitor has left open, so the conversation starts from evidence rather than a generic pitch.
Who is on the call
The role and background of the person across the table, so a rep opens with relevance instead of reading a title off a calendar invite for the first time.
Likely pain and talking points
The probable pain and the talking points that follow from it, every one grounded in the source data the system scraped, so a rep walks in with a point of view, not a guess.
Every claim in the brief is grounded in the source data the system scraped, so reps stop walking in with guesses.
How does discovery call research automation work?
The agent scrapes and structures the same public sources a strategist would gather by hand, then assembles them into one consistent brief for every scheduled call. The rep reads the brief instead of doing the digging, so prep stops depending on how much time anyone had the night before.
Because it runs on every call, the depth of prep no longer rises and falls with the calendar. The prospect booked at the end of a busy week gets the same brief as the one booked on a quiet Monday.
The same depth of prep on every prospect, not just the ones a rep had time for.
Why does prep speed beat prep depth?
Because the agency that prepares fastest wins the room, not the one that prepares most. Roughly 39.75 hours per strategist per month go to automatable tasks like manual research (SparkToro-cited research). When that research is automatic, thorough prep stops being a luxury reserved for the biggest prospects.

Speed of prep beats depth of prep: automate the research and every rep prepares like your best one, on every call.
I designed, built and deployed the pre-call brief agent behind this page, and it briefs reps before real calls today. The case study covers the bottleneck, the architecture and what changed.
Common questions
What does a pre-call brief include?
- A company snapshot, the current marketing footprint and visible gaps, who is on the call and their background, and the likely pain with talking points that follow from it. Every line is grounded in the source data the system scraped, so the brief is a structured read of real evidence rather than a template a rep fills in from memory.
How does discovery call research automation work?

Is the brief accurate, or does the model invent things?
- The brief is grounded in the source data the system actually scraped, so a rep is reading structured evidence, not a confident guess. The point of the system is that reps stop walking in with assumptions and start from what the sources support.
How much prep time does this return to the team?
- Roughly 39.75 hours per strategist per month go to automatable tasks like manual research (SparkToro-cited research). In P&L terms, that is prep which used to eat a week of a senior rep, returned to selling and to carrying more conversations, rather than a headline about hours saved.
Is this a custom build or an off-the-shelf tool?
- A custom build, designed around how your team qualifies and sells, then deployed and handed over. It is production software already briefing reps before real calls. The pre-call brief agent case study is the proof.
A 15-minute call is usually enough to know if there is a fit.
No slides, no pitch.
