How it works
Search any company and get structured, sourced data extracted with free on-device AI (Gemini Nano); every value links back to the public page it came from with a confidence score and the date it was found.
What's different
Runs AI locally with no sign-in, and omits any value it can't confirm instead of guessing, unlike a chatbot that hands you an unsourced paragraph.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
People researching companies who want sourced, checkable data instead of a chatbot's paraphrase.

DM Studio for Instagram

Live

A browser tool that sends templated, human-paced Instagram DMs from your own logged-in session, for marketers/agencies doing influencer outreach who don't want a copy-paste grind or a third party touching their messages.

Domain registered 1 month ago

Uses your existing Instagram session directly with no password or cloud login — messages never touch the company's servers — and sending limits can only be made more conservative, not looser.
Pricing
Free to try, 10 sends a day, no signup required.
Best for
Marketers and agencies doing influencer outreach who want to avoid manually copy-pasting the same DM repeatedly.
