A selection of agent builders using Forager for personal emails · plus other teams on ForagerA selection of teams using Forager
For agent frameworks and builders
The job
Let GTM engineers and developers build production enrichment workflows by prompting a coding agent against typed endpoints, or add a people endpoint to their own web-data API.
When
A developer asks a coding agent to 'enrich new sign-ups with role and company and route them'.
Outcome
GTM engineers ship production workflows in minutes and developers enrich sign-ups and leads with one API key.
Who evaluates personal emails at agent frameworks and builders, and what they are judged on
Product manager who owns the enrichment feature: judged on what users see when they open a record
Engineering lead integrating the API: judged on response time and errors they can route on
Partnerships or data lead managing vendors: judged on cost per valid result

How to test it
Test personal emails 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 builders use Forager personal emails?
⌄
Let GTM engineers and developers build production enrichment workflows by prompting a coding agent against typed endpoints, or add a people endpoint to their own web-data API. Personal email addresses for reaching people outside their work inbox, such as passive candidates and founders. This page walks through 2 workflows with the exact steps.
What do personal emails cost for AI agent builders?
⌄
Personal emails: 5 credits per personal email found, and a personal email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.07 per personal email on Starter month to month and $0.05 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Why do AI agent builders add personal emails?
⌄
Typed people and contact lookups your agents can call, paid per result. Products like yours are judged on whether the agent reached the right person, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what personal emails returns for your users before you build on it.
Which people and company data APIs work well with coding agents?
⌄
The workflow uses Forager People search, Person enrichment, Company enrichment, Job postings API, Work emails, Personal emails and Reverse email lookup. People search: Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. Let GTM engineers and developers build production enrichment workflows by prompting a coding agent against typed endpoints, or add a people endpoint to their own web-data API.
What do I send, and what comes back?
⌄
You send API key, developer prompt and full name + company domain. You get back enriched records, generated workflow, person_id and personal_email, as JSON.
Can we show Forager data inside our product?
⌄
Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.
Am I charged when no personal email is found?
⌄
No. A personal email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for personal emails we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.
Is there a free way to try Forager?
⌄
Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.
How do I add a contact waterfall to my agent's tools?
⌄
Define one find_contact tool in your framework that takes a LinkedIn URL or name and company. Inside it, call POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ then POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ when the earlier source returns nothing.
How do you check data quality?
⌄
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.
When should I use a personal email instead of a work email?
⌄
Use a personal email when the person may not read, or may not stay at, their work inbox: passive candidates, founders, alumni and people between jobs. Use a work email for business outreach to someone at their current employer. Forager prices both the same: email lookups are charged only when an address is found.
Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?
⌄
Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
