License a people feed for retrieval over people and company records
When to use it: A product answers thousands of people and company questions a day and needs the records in its own index, with refresh terms it can show its customers.
Show the steps
License the people and company feeds and agree the refresh schedule and permitted use
Load each delivery into your warehouse or vector index keyed on person_id and company_id
Retrieve the matching records for each question and pass them to the model as context
Call the API only for contact fields, which stay out of the feed and are paid per result

How to test it
Test people data feed on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do AI agent and developer-tool companies use the people data feed?
⌄
Find verified practitioners (radiologists, tax attorneys, actuaries) to write and grade data for AI labs instead of generic labelers. A licensed file of 800M+ professional profiles, refreshed on a schedule and delivered to Snowflake or S3. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
How much does the people data feed cost for AI agent and developer-tool companies?
⌄
People data feed is a flat annual licence, global or regional, not priced in credits. The price depends on the records, fields and refresh schedule you license, so talk to sales with your use case and we quote it.
Which AI agent and developer-tool workflows use the people data feed?
⌄
Recruit domain experts for AI model evaluation and training data, license a people feed for retrieval over people and company records and train title-normalisation and company-matching models on structured profiles. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.
How do I recruit domain experts for AI training data?
⌄
Query people_feed or POST /person_role_search/ for credentialed titles and experience length. Filter by location and current employment for availability.
Can AI agent and developer-tool companies see a sample of the people data feed before licensing it?
⌄
Yes. Request a sample extract of the people data feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.
Where can an AI product license people and company records for retrieval?
⌄
The workflow uses Forager People data feed and Company data feed. People data feed: A licensed file of 800M+ professional profiles, refreshed on a schedule and delivered to Snowflake or S3. Give a product that answers people and company questions a licensed dataset to index and retrieve from, instead of calling an API per question or scraping profiles.
How accurate is Forager data?
⌄
The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.
Should I use the people data feed or the API?
⌄
Use the API when your product needs one person at a time, at the moment a user asks. License the people data feed when you need the whole layer in your own warehouse or search index, for analytics, matching or retrieval, without a call per record.
Where can the people data feed be delivered?
⌄
Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
⌄
Data feeds are licensed on an annual agreement, with the term, volume and refresh schedule written into it. There are no self-serve plans for feeds.
What if we need more than the largest plan?
⌄
Pro, the largest self-serve plan, includes 22,500 credits a month (1,500 mobiles or 4,500 emails). Above that, enterprise plans with volume pricing are agreed with our team, and yearly billing costs 10% less than month to month on every self-serve plan. Platforms that embed Forager in their product pay per record at volume.
How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?
⌄
AI agent and developer-tool companies often have to explain their data source to their own customers. Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover people data feed for AI agent and developer-tool companies. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
