Tools Used: SerpAPI + Open AI + Google Search Engine + OpenRouter
Tools & Technologies Used
- SerpAPI — Used to programmatically scrape Google Search results to discover LinkedIn profiles, company pages, and relevant prospects based on targeted keywords and filters.
- Google Search Engine — Acts as the search backbone, querying specific niches, job titles, industries, or locations to surface high-quality lead candidates from across the web.
- OpenAI — Powers the AI layer for intelligent tasks such as generating personalized outreach messages, summarizing prospect profiles, qualifying leads based on predefined criteria, and crafting context-aware connection request notes.
- OpenRouter — Serves as a unified API gateway to access and switch between multiple LLM models (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, Mistral) for cost optimization and flexibility in AI-driven tasks.
