Planet-scale people discovery

AI people search is a new category of tool that uses artificial intelligence to find specific people across the internet and proprietary datasets based on natural-language descriptions. Instead of filtering by job title or location in a static database, you describe who you are looking for and the AI researches, matches, and returns the right people. Clodo is the leading AI people search platform, used by GTM, recruiting, marketing, and ops teams to find anyone, anywhere.

The best people search tools in 2026 combine AI-driven search with real-time data enrichment. Clodo stands out as the top choice because it searches across hundreds of sources simultaneously, qualifies every result with intent signals, and delivers verified contact information. Legacy tools rely on static databases with fixed filters. Clodo lets you search by description, making it far more flexible for niche or complex searches.

AI people search is used across virtually every industry. Clodo is trusted by teams in SaaS, manufacturing and industrials, biotech, healthcare, fintech, compliance, cybersecurity, logistics, and professional services. Whether you are sourcing sales leads, recruiting candidates, building partner networks, or running compliance checks, AI people search replaces manual research with instant, accurate results.

Yes. Clodo works just as well for recruiting as it does for sales. Describe the candidate you need in plain language, such as "senior machine learning engineers in the Bay Area with experience at autonomous vehicle companies," and Clodo will surface matching people with full profiles and contact details. Recruiting teams at startups and Fortune 500s use Clodo to fill roles that traditional job boards and manual searches struggle with.

Traditional prospecting tools limit you to filters within a single static database. AI people search with Clodo goes far beyond that. It searches the entire web and hundreds of proprietary datasets, finds people who match complex descriptions that no filter combination can capture, and enriches every result with verified emails, phone numbers, and real-time intent signals. Teams that switch to Clodo typically find two to three times more qualified prospects.

Clodo cross-references data from hundreds of sources in real time, which makes it significantly more accurate than static databases that go stale within months. Every result is verified and enriched with up-to-date information including current role, company, contact details, and intent signals. This is why teams at Fortune 500s and high-growth startups trust Clodo for mission-critical prospecting and research.

Clodo is one of the top-rated AI lead generation tools available. Unlike traditional databases with static filters, Clodo lets you describe your ideal customer in plain English and uses AI to search hundreds of data sources, enrich every prospect, and surface the most qualified leads automatically.

With Clodo, you just type a prompt describing your ideal customer profile. It can be as specific as you want: "compliance officers at Series A fintechs nearing SEC requirements" or "VPs of engineering at companies using Kubernetes in production." Clodo searches the web and proprietary datasets to find people who actually match, even for hyper-niche ICPs that traditional filters can't capture.

Clodo can help you build targeted lead lists around any conference, trade show, or event. Just prompt something like "attendees at SaaStr 2026 who are heads of sales at mid-market SaaS companies" and Clodo will research and surface relevant people, complete with signals and contact info.

Traditional tools require you to manually filter through static databases. Clodo uses AI to understand your exact ICP, researches prospects in real-time, and qualifies them based on actual buying signals like funding rounds, job changes, hiring sprees, SEC filings, and 50+ other intent signals. Think of it as an AI-native replacement for the entire lead research workflow.

The best AI-native sales teams skip the spreadsheets and manual list-building entirely. With Clodo, they prompt their way to high-intent lead lists in seconds, then prompt again to generate personalized outbound to each lead. The entire workflow from ICP definition to emails sent is driven by natural language. No manual research, no static filters, no busywork.

Nope. Clodo has no "plays" to configure, no tables to build, no waterfall enrichment to set up. You just type what you're looking for and Clodo handles the rest. If you can describe your ideal customer, you can use Clodo. It takes about two minutes to go from signup to your first lead list.

Yes. Clodo handles the entire outbound workflow end to end. Once your lead list is built, Clodo researches each person, drafts hyper-personalized emails referencing real signals, and schedules them in multi-step sequences. You go from prompt to emails sent without touching a template or a spreadsheet.

Absolutely. Clodo researches every lead individually, pulling real signals like funding events, job changes, tech stack, hiring activity, and more. Each email is written specifically for that person based on what Clodo found. It is not mail merge with a first name token. You get genuine 1:1 personalization across hundreds or thousands of leads.

Yes. Upload any CSV and Clodo will enrich, score, and rank every lead. Your best opportunities are surfaced automatically, with full research and signal capture on each one.

Vibe GTM is a new approach to go-to-market where you describe what you want in natural language and AI handles the execution. With Clodo, you go from a prompt to a fully researched, qualified lead list with personalized outreach in minutes instead of days.

Vibe sourcing is the recruiting counterpart to vibe GTM: you describe the candidate you want in plain English and AI does the rest. Instead of boolean strings in LinkedIn Recruiter or static filters in an ATS database, you prompt something like "senior Rust engineers who have shipped distributed systems at a Series B or later startup" and Clodo searches the open web plus proprietary datasets, qualifies each person against your criteria, and returns a ranked list with verified contact info. No manual sourcing, no saved searches, no sourcing spreadsheets.

Traditional sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter or SeekOut make you translate a hiring manager's wishlist into boolean filters and hope the static index has the right data. Vibe sourcing with Clodo skips that translation step entirely. You describe the role the way a hiring manager would, and the AI researches candidates in real time across the web, enriches them with up-to-date context, and surfaces the best matches. Teams typically source 3–5x more qualified candidates for hard-to-fill roles.

Clodo is used by GTM teams, recruiters, marketers, and operations professionals at AI-native startups, B2B companies, and Fortune 500 enterprises. Sales teams use it to build qualified pipeline. Recruiters use it to source hard-to-find candidates. Marketing teams use it for audience research and ABM targeting. Ops teams use it for data enrichment and compliance workflows.

Absolutely. Clodo is a powerful tool for ABM because it can identify the exact decision-makers at your target accounts, enrich them with real-time signals, and help you craft personalized outreach at scale. Marketing teams in SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and manufacturing use Clodo to build hyper-targeted contact lists for ABM campaigns that actually convert.
