People

Describe who you're looking for, like "founding engineers at seed-stage AI startups", and your agent finds them. Use it for hiring candidates, prospects, or anyone else your company wants to reach. Each person comes back with the evidence for or against your filters, so you judge fit yourself instead of trusting a score.

Where It Looks

• The people index, the default. It spends money.
• GitHub: top contributors to the repos you name. Free, but no work history.
• X: people who recently posted about the topic. It holds up to $1 per search and charges the actual cost.

Every search has a spending limit, $1 by default and at most $5. If the estimate is higher, the search stops before it runs.

Filters

Your agent can filter by words in someone's current job title (or words to exclude), location, years of experience, and their employer's stage, like seed or Series A. Checking company stage costs one company lookup per employer, up to 25 per search. People past that come back unknown.

Nobody is dropped. Each person gets a pass, fail, or unknown for every filter, with the value it compared. unknown means the data was missing.

Save People to the CRM

Someone already in your CRM comes back marked, so your agent updates that contact instead of adding a copy. Your agent saves new people as contacts, matched by their identities, like email or profile.

Commands

cofounder people search \
  --query "backend engineers who write about streaming systems" \
  --source x --min-years-experience 4 --max-cost-usd 2

--source is exa (the default), github with --github-repo, or x. Filters are --title-keyword, --exclude-title-keyword, --location, --min-years-experience, --max-years-experience, and --company-stage. To save someone new, write a person change with cofounder crm records write, putting the kind and value of each of the person's identities in its match.
