How it works

From ICP description to live sends

No CSV exports. No tool-juggling. The engine answers, validates, ranks and ships.

STEP / 01

Describe the lead you want

Plain-English prompt, full filter builder, or a pasted Sales Navigator URL — all three feed the same engine.

STEP / 02

DitLead streams matches live

Verified contacts, ranked by fit + intent. Lookalike, recommendation and signal layers add the leads you'd have missed.

STEP / 03

Push the list into a sequence

One click and the list flows into a multi-channel campaign with copy generated per contact.

Inside the engine

Seven layers, one workflow

Each layer adds a different angle on the same question — who should we be talking to next? — and ends in the same place: a live sequence.

01 · Live Search

Live lead search, the way reps actually want it

Type a query, see the count tick up. Tune a filter, see the rows re-stream. No batch jobs, no overnight runs — the engine answers in milliseconds and feels closer to a search bar than a CRM tool.

Plain-English prompt or 80+ structured filters
Streaming results — see numbers move as you tune
Save any query; auto-alerts on new matches

03 · Validation

Validation that doesn't sleep

Every contact carries a live verification status. Eighteen signals run on each lookup and re-run on every export. Bounce rates sit under 2% even at scale — and the engine flags catch-all, role and disposable separately so you can choose how aggressive to be.

04 · Lookalike

Lookalike discovery for the leads you can't describe

Seed from a CSV, closed-won deals or any saved list
Fingerprint across 30+ dimensions, weighted by your data
Returns ranked accounts with per-dimension match scores

05 · Recommendation

Recommendation that watches what works

The engine watches what your team books, what converts, and what your prospects reply to — then quietly serves a daily queue of contacts most likely to convert next, ranked by combined fit + intent.

Reasons surfaced inline — "looks like 4 closed deals"

One engine where most teams ran four tools

Live search, validation, lookalike, recommendation and intent are usually separate products. Lead Engine puts them on one surface, sitting on the 700M+ Lead Finder catalogue.

Talk to sales

A single product surface that combines every part of finding pipeline: live lead search, the Lead Finder database, validation, lookalike discovery, AI recommendation, real-time intent and Lead Signal. Everything talks to the same campaign engine — no CSV round trips between tools.

Lead Finder is the 700M+ contact database — the catalogue. Lead Engine is the workflow on top of it: live search, validation, lookalike, recommendation, intent and signal. You use Lead Finder inside Lead Engine, not as a separate tool.

Type any combination of filters or a plain-English ICP description and DitLead streams matching, verified contacts back in real time — no batch jobs, no overnight refreshes. You see the count tick up as you tune the query and can push the result to a campaign with one click.

Every contact in the engine carries a live verification status. The validator runs 18 signals — SMTP, MX, catch-all, role-account, disposable, role overlap, recent activity — and re-checks on every export so bounce rates stay under 2%.

Pick 10–50 customers, deals, or any list. DitLead profiles the firmographic, technographic and behavioral fingerprint and returns a ranked list of net-new accounts that match — without you specifying filters.

The engine watches what you book, what converts and what your team replies to — then quietly surfaces a daily queue of contacts most likely to convert next, ranked by fit + intent. Each row shows the reason inline.

12+ types — hiring intent (open roles by department + seniority), funding events, executive role changes, tech-stack adoption, G2/review-site engagement, web-visitor reveal, news triggers, recent layoffs / restructurings. All real-time, all filterable inside any search.

Lead Signal is the always-on layer that fires when something happens at a target account — a new exec, funding, tech adoption — and triggers a sequence within minutes. It has its own page; the engine ships with the base feed enabled by default.

Yes — every layer of the engine ends in the same button. One click sends a list into a multi-channel sequence, copy gets generated per contact and outreach starts. No CSV exports, no CRM round-tripping.

Apollo and ZoomInfo are catalogues. The Lead Engine is the workflow — search, validate, lookalike, recommend, intent and signal all in one place, sitting on a 700M+ contact catalogue. Most teams that switch consolidate 2–4 tools into Lead Engine.

Yes. Every record carries a lawful-basis attribute. EU-resident processing is available on Enterprise; DPIA template included. Right-to-be-forgotten requests processed within 72 hours.
