Shaku AI: AI Lead Generation Software

Shaku AI is an autonomous B2B lead generation platform that finds companies showing real buying signals such as funding rounds, hiring surges, executive changes and tech stack changes, scores them against your ideal customer profile, and runs personalized outreach from your own mailbox.

Instead of buying static contact lists, sales teams use Shaku AI to catch companies at the moment something changes: a funding round closes, a hiring surge starts, a new executive arrives, the tech stack shifts, or buyer intent shows up on review sites. Every lead arrives scored from 0 to 100 against your ideal customer profile with plain language notes on why now and how to pitch.

Shaku AI is built for B2B sales teams who want an AI SDR style workflow without the manual research. It functions as a sales intelligence platform and buyer intent data source in one product: discovery, ICP scoring, contact verification and outreach automation, so a rep opens qualified, warm outbound leads instead of a spreadsheet of names to research.

How Shaku AI works

  1. Enter your website. Shaku AI reads it and drafts your ideal customer profile in about a minute. You review and approve it.
  2. The engine sources leads continuously, 24/7. It monitors live buying signals, verifies each contact on LinkedIn, and enriches work emails and phone numbers.
  3. AutoReach drafts personalized email sequences from each lead's signal and sends them from your own mailbox on your schedule. Replies are tracked with AI sentiment, and qualified leads push to your CRM.

What you get on every lead

Name, title and company. The buying signal that surfaced them with a source link. An ICP fit score from 0 to 100. Notes on why this company is worth a call this week and what to say first. A verified work email and phone number where enrichment can confirm one.

Security and privacy

Frequently asked questions

How does Shaku AI find leads?

It watches live buying signals: hiring, funding, executive changes, LinkedIn posts and tech changes. Each match is scored 0 to 100 against your ICP, and the engine reruns every hour.

How is this different from buying a list?

A list tells you a company exists. Shaku AI tells you what changed this week, why that makes them worth a call now, and what to say first. Then it runs the outreach for you.

What do I get on each lead?

Name, title, company, the signal that surfaced them, an ICP score, the why now and how to pitch notes, plus a work email and phone number where our enrichment can verify one.

How does the outreach send?

From your own mailbox and LinkedIn, on a schedule you set. Every message is drafted from the lead's signal, and you can review drafts before anything goes out.

Why might connecting my mailbox show a warning?

Sequences send from your own address, so you connect your mailbox directly. Your email service may show a caution screen while our verification with them completes. We ask for permission to send only, never to read your inbox.

Does it work with my CRM?

Yes. Qualified leads can be pushed to your CRM with their signal context attached, deduplicated against what is already there.

How long does setup take?

A few minutes. Enter your website, review the ICP Shaku AI drafts, approve it, and sourcing starts. No credit card required to try it, and the demo above needs no signup at all.

Enrichment draws from a pool of Data Credits and Actions. A basic enrichment costs 14 credits, roughly $0.22 to $1.05 each, and a full enrichment costs 34 credits, roughly $0.54 to $2.55 each.

Where Clay excels

Clay is the most flexible workflow builder in go to market tooling, with access to more than 100 data providers you can chain together into an enrichment waterfall built exactly to your spec. Teams with a dedicated revenue operations person who wants full control over every data source and every field mapping get real power from Clay. If your use case is unusual enough that no packaged product fits it, Clay is likely the right tool.

Where Shaku AI excels

Clay hands you the raw materials and lets you build the pipeline. Shaku AI ships the finished pipeline: it already monitors 20 signal types, scores every lead against your ideal customer profile from 0 to 100, and drafts personalized outreach from your own mailbox with nothing to configure. There is no workflow to build, no waterfall to tune, and no per record credit cost eating into your budget as volume grows. You get from signup to a scored, contacted lead in minutes instead of after weeks of setup.

Key differences

Setup effort

Clay requires you to build and maintain enrichment workflows. Shaku AI works out of the box once you approve your ICP.

Cost model

Clay charges per enrichment through Data Credits and Actions, which scales with volume. Shaku AI has no credit charge for lead discovery.

Discovery

Clay enriches records you feed into it. Shaku AI finds new leads on its own by watching live buying signals.

Outreach

Clay stops at enrichment and needs a separate tool for sending. Shaku AI drafts and sends personalized outreach from your own mailbox.

Who should choose which

Choose Clay if

  • You have a revenue operations person who wants to build custom enrichment workflows across many data providers.
  • Your use case needs field level control over how each data source is combined.
  • You already have a separate outreach tool and only need enrichment.

Choose Shaku AI if

  • You want signal driven leads and personalized outreach without building or maintaining workflows.
  • You want predictable pricing with no per record credit cost as you scale.
  • You want a small team to be productive on day one, not after weeks of setup.
