AI prospecting that hunts for leads while you do the work
AI prospecting is software that finds new potential clients for you instead of you scrolling for them. In Orbit, Niko is the prospector: it hunts the open web for leads matching your ideal client profile, vets each one against your offer, and lines up outreach drafts. Every find lands as a card you approve or dismiss. Nobody gets contacted without you.
Meet Niko
Niko is the prospector on Orbit's 16-agent team, and it works the way a good researcher would. You describe your ideal client: the kind of business, the role, the situation that makes someone a fit. Niko takes that profile and hunts the open web for people who match it.
Then comes the part most tools skip: vetting. Niko checks each candidate against your offer and drops the ones that do not fit, so you are not skimming 200 maybes. For the keepers, it lines up outreach drafts and queues the whole batch as cards for your review.
What Niko does
- Hunts the open web for leads that match your ideal client profile.
- Vets every candidate against your offer before it reaches you.
- Lines up outreach drafts for the leads that survive the vetting.
- Queues finds as cards: approve, edit, or dismiss each one.
- Pairs with Ivy, the researcher agent, who enriches new leads with email, socials, and background.
The guardrails
Niko finds and vets, but it never contacts anyone. Outreach drafts sit as cards until you approve, edit, or dismiss them. Nothing auto-sends, and no lead hears from you without your sign-off.
The hunting itself runs on keys you own (Firecrawl, Apify, YouTube, all optional), so providers bill you directly at cost with no markup. And if a prospect later earns a phone call, the voice fences are already in place: off by default, your calling hours, a 25-call daily cap, do-not-call lists, recorded-line disclosure, your own Vapi number, and a transcript on the contact timeline.
AI prospecting vs hunting for leads yourself
| Orbit | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Time spent | Runs while you do billable work | Evenings lost to scrolling |
| Vetting | Every lead checked against your offer | Gut feel at 11 pm |
| Records kept | Each lead logged with outreach drafts attached | A spreadsheet you stopped updating |
| Cost | Your own keys, billed at cost | Hours that should have been billable |
| What slips | Nothing sends without your approval | The follow-through after the research |
Pipelines rarely die from bad closing. They die from the weeks nobody hunted. Niko keeps hunting.
