AI lead generation
AI lead generation that starts with intent, not a list.
Siela's AI SDR finds people who fit your customer and show a fresh reason to buy, scores each one with a one-line reason, and saves them to your CRM. Turn on outreach when you're ready, or keep it to the list.
Build me a list of agency owners who are hiring for sales. Don't message anyone yet.
Found 18 who fit; 7 are hot. All 18 are saved to your CRM with the reason each one was picked. Nothing was sent.
18 leads saved, 7 hot
How AI lead generation works in Siela
AI lead generation uses an agent to find and qualify potential customers: it searches for people who match your ideal customer, checks them for signs they're ready to buy, and scores them, so you start from the strongest leads instead of a raw list.
- Reads your website. Paste it in and the AI SDR suggests who to reach: roles, industries, company sizes and locations.
- Looks for fresh buying signals. People asking how to solve the problem you solve, comparing tools, hiring for the work you automate, changing role or raising money. It can also track keywords and competitors on LinkedIn and X.
- Skips the wrong people. Exclude recruiters, freelancers, consultants, students and Open to Work profiles, plus any competitor or keyword you name.
- Scores every lead. Hot, warm or cold, with a one-line reason tied to fit, intent, how recent the signal is and how likely they are to reply.
- Saves them to your CRM. Each run gets its own group, with the reason each person was picked.
From a list to a conversation
Choose "Find leads only" and nothing is sent: you get the list and decide what to do with it. When you're ready, switch to "Find leads and reach out" and the same AI SDR starts the conversations on LinkedIn, X and email from your own accounts, within the daily limit you set for each channel.
How it works

CRM and booking come built in
Nothing needs buying or connecting first. The work lands in tools that come with Siela, and every agent can read and write to them from the first minute:
- CRM: contacts and companies, a visual pipeline, and every lead the AI SDR saves, with the reason it was picked.
- Calendar and booking: booking pages you can share, slots checked against every connected calendar, and reminders to both sides.
- Business memory: your brand voice, product facts, people and past work, read by every agent before it writes.
