Mantis Ai is live: find leads that actually match your ICP

I want to find leads that fit my ideal customer profile, not a generic list I have to
re-filter by hand. That's the whole reason I built Mantis Ai.

Most "lead lists" are the same problem in a new spreadsheet: a few thousand rows of businesses in
your category and city, no sense of which ones are actually a fit. You spend the first hour of
every outreach session doing the filtering yourself: opening ten tabs, checking who already has
a decent website, who's already using a competitor, who isn't a fit for your ICP at all.
About 27% of local businesses still don't have one,
which is exactly the kind of signal worth filtering for instead of scrolling past.

Describe your client, not your search filters

Instead of a form with twelve dropdowns, Mantis starts with a plain-English prompt. Describe who
you're actually trying to reach, and it runs a live web search to find matching local businesses
in that area, not a stale, pre-scraped database.

Every result comes back with the context that tells you why it's a fit: category, rating, review
count, location, and the verified contact details you need to actually reach out. That's the
gap between a lead list and a genuinely
qualified prospect list —
you're not restarting the qualification work from zero every time.

From prompt to workspace

Once you've got a set of leads, they land in a workspace instead of a CSV. You score them by how
strong the buying signal is, filter down to the ones worth your time first, and export when
you're ready to run outreach.

I kept redoing the same manual research for every agency and freelancer I talked to. Mantis
turns the ICP a founder or sales team already has in their head into an actual, working list in
minutes instead of an afternoon.

Who this is for

Agencies, freelancers, and small sales or growth teams who sell locally and are tired of buying
generic lists that need re-filtering before they're usable. There's a free tier to start, and
credits don't expire.

If you're doing this kind of prospecting by hand right now, I'd genuinely like your feedback:
