Lusha helps you find just contacts. Agent Jesse helps you find your next customer.
Agent Jesse takes the next step. Instead of starting with an existing database, it searches the live web to discover companies actively matching your ideal customer profile, identifies the right decision-makers, uncovers the signals behind them, and enriches every lead automatically.
Quick answer
Lusha helps you find contacts. Agent Jesse helps you find your next customer — by crawling the live web for companies that match your ICP, the people to reach, and the signal that makes outreach timely. Not just another stored registry.
Beyond just contacts
Lusha stops at "who." Agent Jesse gives you who, when, and why.
Find new companies and decision-makers that fit your ICP.
Identify accounts showing buying signals today, not months ago.
Understand what's happening inside the business before you start the conversation.
Stop mining a database. Start reading the market.
Lusha and Agent Jesse both hand you contacts — but Lusha's answer is only as fresh as the last time its database was updated, while Jesse's is as fresh as the moment you hit search. That single difference cascades into everything below.

Why teams switch
Why do teams move from Lusha to Agent Jesse?
Discovery stops at what's already in the database
Lusha is strong at enriching and filtering contacts inside its stored database. Search, bulk list-building, and the LinkedIn extension all read the same pre-built registry. But Lusha has no way to surface new buyers who aren't yet in those databases.
With Agent Jesse, just describe your ICP in plain English. Jesse crawls the live web at search time and returns companies and people — including accounts that don't exist in any prospecting database yet.
That's the difference between mining a registry and reading the live market.
Contacts tell you who. Context tells you why now.
Lusha helps you find contact information and offers intent and signal features across its paid plans. But in many workflows, you still have to connect the dots yourself — figuring out why a prospect is worth reaching out to today.
With Agent Jesse, every lead is discovered because of a live web signal — whether it's a funding round, a hiring surge, rapid growth, an upcoming event, or a permit filing.
Every lead comes with the context you need to start a relevant conversation.
You pay credits for contacts that are already stale
Lusha spends a credit the second you reveal a contact — even if that person left months ago. Reviewers keep finding old titles and dead numbers, with no refund for a bad reveal.
With Agent Jesse, every lead is found and checked against the live web when you search — so you're not spending credits to re-check a snapshot that's already out of date.
Data shouldn't stop at the border
Lusha's data skews heavily toward the US and UK. Reviewers prospecting in Europe, APAC, or Latin America report thinner coverage and more bounced or disconnected contacts.
With Agent Jesse, contacts are surfaced from whatever's publicly live on the web, not filtered by which regions a static database happens to prioritize.
