Lead Qualification Agent

Turns high-intent conversations into structured, prioritized leads your team can act on.

Plan: available from the Free tier. Status: beta.

What It Does​

The agent watches for buying signals — pricing questions, demo requests, comparisons with competitors — and then qualifies the visitor through ordinary conversation rather than a form.

  1. Detects intent. Monitors the conversation for signs of buying intent or product interest.
  2. Collects context. Asks about budget, decision authority, specific needs, and timeline.
  3. Scores the lead. Calculates a score from the information collected.
  4. Routes follow-up. Saves the scored lead with the full conversation context for your team.

BANT Scoring​

BANT is a long-standing qualification framework:

  • Budget — can they pay for this?
  • Authority — are they the one who decides?
  • Need — is there a real problem to solve?
  • Timeline — when do they want it solved?

The agent scores each conversation from 1 to 10 based on what it learned. It does not interrogate: if a visitor won't discuss budget, the agent scores what it has and moves on.

Configuring Thresholds​

Go to AI Agents > Lead Qualification > Settings to set two thresholds:

SettingMeaning
Hot Lead ScoreLeads at or above this score trigger email notifications
Qualified Lead ScoreLeads at or above this score are marked as qualified

:::tip Start Conservative Set the hot-lead threshold high enough that a notification always means "call this person today". A threshold that fires on every conversation trains your team to ignore it. :::

Review these two numbers after your first week of real conversations — they are the settings most worth tuning against actual leads rather than assumptions.

Where Leads Appear​

Captured leads land in Activity > Leads, with:

  • Contact details
  • BANT score and qualified/hot status
  • The full conversation that produced them

See Lead Analytics for filtering, status management, and export.

Best For​

  • Demo requests
  • Pricing conversations
  • Any page where visitors arrive with commercial intent

Getting Good Results​

  • Answer product questions well first. A visitor who gets a vague answer about your product won't share a budget. Train the knowledge base before enabling qualification.
  • Don't over-ask. The agent qualifies conversationally; if your system prompt also pushes for contact details, visitors get asked twice.
  • Check the transcripts. For the first few dozen leads, read the conversation behind the score. It is the fastest way to learn whether your thresholds are right.

Quota​

Included on every plan. Qualification consumes no separate action allowance — only the message credits the conversation itself uses. See Quotas.
