An AI agent for intelligent lead discovery
A regional construction firm kept finding high-value projects after the bidding window had effectively closed. We built a continuous AI agent that scans, understands, and delivers early-stage opportunities directly to their team.

Missing early-stage opportunities.
47 RESULTS, SORTED BY DEADLINE — THE WINDOW HAD ALREADY CLOSED.
Construction firms live and die by timing. This team was consistently arriving too late — competing in crowded public bids against opportunities they should have known about months earlier.
- Leads found too late
Most platforms surface opportunities only after public bidding has opened — when competition is already at its peak and margin pressure is highest.
- Manual research at scale
The team spent hours monitoring websites, tracking fundraising campaigns, and re-checking the same sources repeatedly — time-consuming and prone to gaps.
- Low relevance from existing tools
Generic lead databases had poor niche filtering: no ability to detect the early signals — capital campaigns, grants, property acquisitions, institution-specific plans — that precede construction.
- No update tracking
Even when leads were identified, there was no visibility into progress. No alerts when funding milestones were reached or projects changed phase.
An AI agent that thinks, filters, and tracks.
We built an AI-driven lead discovery and intelligence system that identifies early-stage opportunities, tracks them over time, and delivers only meaningful updates — directly into the team's existing workflow.
- Geo-targeted lead discovery
The agent continuously scans local news and institutional websites within a 100-to-150-mile radius of the target locations. Geographic relevance is enforced at the source, not filtered after the fact.
- LLM-powered opportunity detection
Rather than keyword matching, the AI reads and understands context. It identifies capital campaigns, grant announcements, and property acquisition plans — detecting pre-construction signals before competitors even know to look.
- Niche-specific filtering
The system targets the client's actual market — schools, churches, non-profits, and public institutions. Irrelevant institutions are filtered out before extraction, so the team only ever sees opportunities that match.
- Lead intelligence engine
A three-layer system prevents noise: duplicate detection ensures no lead is surfaced twice, continuous re-scanning tracks changes over time, and an LLM significance layer decides whether an update is worth a notification. Funding milestone reached? Alert. Minor page edit? Ignored.
- Real-time delivery and feedback loop
Structured lead cards arrive directly in the team's channel with consistent format: organisation, location, opportunity summary, source link. The team rates each lead with a thumbs up or down — and that feedback improves relevance over time.
Not a scraper. An intelligent agent.
- Context, not keywords
The system reads and understands source content the way a researcher would — identifying opportunity signals, not just matching terms. It catches what keyword tools miss entirely.
- Early-stage detection
Capital campaigns and grant announcements appear months before projects reach public bidding. The agent watches at that stage, giving the team time to build relationships before competitors know a project exists.
- Update intelligence
Discovering a lead is only half the job. The system tracks it, detects meaningful changes, and sends alerts only when something actionable has happened — without manual follow-up.
- Zero-noise architecture
Duplicate prevention and significance analysis work together to ensure the team is never alerted about something they've already seen or something that doesn't matter. Every notification is worth opening.
Built for scale and reliability.
A lean, cloud-native stack designed to run continuously without intervention — scanning, reasoning, deduplicating, and delivering at scale.
Early access. Less work. Better leads.
The team no longer spends hours on manual research — and no longer learns about projects after the window has closed. The system works continuously so they can focus on winning work.
- 90% lead relevance
Highly targeted, niche-specific opportunities. Irrelevant results are eliminated at the source, before they ever reach the team.
- 90% reduction in manual research time
Automated discovery replaced the repetitive monitoring that consumed team hours across multiple sources, every single day.
- Early access to high-value projects
The team engages with prospects before public bidding opens — building relationships while the competition is not yet watching.
- Zero duplicate and low-value alerts
Only meaningful updates are delivered. Every notification is worth reading — no noise, no repeats.
From manual research to an intelligent opportunity engine.
The firm no longer waits for the market to tell it what's available. It finds projects early, tracks them intelligently, and engages at the right moment. That's not a productivity gain — that's a competitive advantage that compounds.
What we didn't solve
Sources behind a paywall or a login are out of scope and are not monitored — that is a stated boundary, not a gap being worked on. The agent finds and scores opportunities; deciding which to bid is still the estimator's call.
