What can I actually do with AI-BDR?

See the workflow through real business-development situations.

Features make more sense when they solve a situation you already recognise. These scenarios show how AI-BDR can move from discovery or change detection to a clear next action without forcing every case through the same outbound sequence.

The operating idea

Detect → Understand → Orchestrate → Act

AI-BDR separates external event detection from the internal decision of what deserves your attention and when.

Event Detection Engine

Account Watcher

Monitors selected public account sources, detects meaningful changes and turns relevant external events into qualified context for the workspace.

Action Orchestration Engine

My Day

Monitors the internal state of AI-BDR: due tasks, follow-ups, calendar items, opportunities and qualified events from Watcher, Observer and other modules. It does not need to continuously monitor the internet itself.

Optional notification delivery: Important My Day events can also be delivered to Slack, so the team can be notified without continuously monitoring AI-BDR.

Practical scenarios

Start from the situation, not the software menu.

Each scenario uses only the parts of AI-BDR that are useful for that job.

DISCOVERY

Find new companies worth approaching

You know the market you want, but not which companies deserve your time. Use discovery and research to build a smaller set of relevant Accounts instead of starting with a giant generic list.

Example: Find manufacturers in a target region, review their fit and move only the useful ones into active business development.
Discover → Research → Account → Qualify → Next action
TIMING

Know when a target company changes

You already know the company, but the timing is wrong. Watch selected public sources and surface a meaningful change when it creates a reason to reassess the account.

Example: A target business announces a new site, hiring push or expansion. The change becomes a qualified signal rather than another browser bookmark.
Account → Watch → Detect → Qualify → My Day
CONTACTS

Find the right person after the account becomes relevant

Move from “this company matters” to “who should I actually speak to?” while keeping the company context attached to the contact search and outreach preparation.

Example: After an expansion signal, identify the operations, procurement or technical decision-maker instead of emailing a generic address.
Account context → Contact discovery → Verify → Outreach
FOLLOW-UP

Keep a promising account warm without chasing it manually

Not every prospect should be contacted every week. Keep the relationship, follow-up date and account context together until a real reason to act appears.

Example: A contact says “come back next quarter.” AI-BDR keeps the follow-up due date visible while Watcher can separately surface an earlier relevant change.
Contact → Follow-up due → My Day → Review → Action
DAILY WORK

Know what actually needs attention today

Instead of opening every module, use My Day as the orchestration layer for due work. Tasks, follow-ups, calendar items, opportunity actions and qualified events can converge into one daily operating view.

Example: One overdue follow-up, two calls today and one newly qualified Watcher event can be reviewed in the same working context.
Tasks + Follow-ups + Calendar + Signals + Opportunities → My Day → optional Slack notification
OPPORTUNITY

Develop an opportunity over weeks or months

Business development often continues long after the first message. Keep contacts, activity, tasks, follow-ups and opportunity progress connected as the commercial story develops.

Example: A first conversation becomes a technical review, then a budget discussion and a later decision date without losing the account history.
Contact → Activity → Follow-up → Opportunity → Next action
EXISTING STACK

Add intelligence without replacing the tools you already use

Use AI-BDR for discovery, monitoring, qualification or account development while keeping an existing CRM, mailbox or calendar where it already works for your team.

Example: Keep HubSpot or another CRM as your system of record while AI-BDR adds research and account-monitoring workflows around it.
Existing stack ↔ AI-BDR intelligence and workflow
SMALL TEAM

Run business development without assembling a large sales stack

Use one workspace for the essential path from account discovery to follow-up, then connect external providers only where they add value.

Example: A founder or small team can research accounts, find contacts, send through connected providers and maintain the pipeline without stitching together a new tool for every step.
Discover → Understand → Contact → Develop → Follow-up
