  • Find and qualify sales leads against ICP

    Hermes Agent searches and compares company and people context, judges leads on ICP, role fit and timing, and explains why each qualified to feed outreach.

    How it went The source gives no measured results. It describes faster per-lead research, more consistent filtering and a better handoff to outreach. Misses came from keyword matches on too-early companies, wrong-function contacts, and overly strict scoring prompts.
