Why build a business-informed AI agent?
In 2025, companies are under immense pressure to generate pipeline and make data-driven decisions faster than ever before. Yet traditional market research remains painfully slow, expensive, and often inaccessible to growing businesses.
Consider this: sales representatives spend only 30% of their week on actual selling activities, with the bulk of time lost to administrative tasks like research and prospecting. Meanwhile, effective market research—the foundation of smart business decisions—can take weeks or months to complete and often requires specialized expertise that many organizations lack.
| The Old Way | The Scout Way |
|---|---|
| Market research takes weeks or months | Research completed in minutes, not days |
| Finding qualified contacts is time-consuming | AI finds and verifies contacts automatically |
| Data is scattered across multiple platforms | All data unified in one intelligent platform |
| Reports are complex and hard to digest | Beautiful, easy-to-understand reports |
| High costs for specialized research services | Frictionless access to B2B intelligence |
This is why we built Scout—to democratize business intelligence and make market research as simple as having a conversation with an expert analyst who never sleeps and has access to millions of data points.
