Frequently asked questions about Extruct AI
What is Extruct AI?
Extruct AI is an advanced platform that automates company research using AI agents. It provides real-time company intelligence by finding and researching any company from a curated 10M-company index or anywhere on the live web. Every answer comes back with its source for verification. The platform replaces static databases and fragile GPT stacks with research-grade AI agents that can extract any data point with full reasoning.
How does the credit system work?
A credit is your usage unit across all features. Semantic search and lookalike search use 1 credit each. Deep Search uses 2 credits per match. AI table cells use 1 credit each. Email lookups use 4 credits, and phone lookups use 20 credits. Search draws from your monthly credit pool, and plans differ by monthly credit volume and unlocked workflows. Credits reset each month on Free, Starter, and Pro plans.
What is the difference between Semantic Search, Lookalike Search, and Deep Search?
Semantic Search finds companies from plain-English prompts instantly from the Extruct index. Lookalike Search finds companies similar to a target company domain or UUID ranked from the Extruct index. Deep Search runs asynchronous, agent-based discovery that ranks companies against multiple natural-language criteria using web, Extruct DB, Maps, and LinkedIn, returning fewer but higher-fit matches. Deep Search is only available on the Pro plan.
What are AI Tables and when should I use them?
AI Tables are Extruct's core offering for systematic company research. They allow you to process and analyze hundreds or thousands of companies simultaneously, define custom data points using natural language prompts, rank and score companies based on specific requirements, and continuously update research with new data points. Use AI Tables when you want to enrich, score, and review a company list in a reusable workflow. AI Tables are included in the Pro plan with 2,000 cells.
What are AI Reports and when should I use them?
AI Reports generate detailed, AI-powered insights about specific companies. They are ideal for deep, comprehensive research on individual companies. Use Reports when you need detailed insights about specific companies. Use Tables when you need to analyze patterns across multiple companies or rank companies based on custom criteria. Reports include answers with sources for each data point.
Which plan should I choose?
Start with Free to test search and API access. Choose Starter when you need more volume (500 credits), exports, and sharing capabilities. Choose Pro when you need Deep Search, AI research tables, and contact lookups (email and phone). The Free plan includes 25 credits every month so you can start without a paid subscription.
Can I import my own company list?
Yes. You can build research lists from search results, CSV import, HubSpot integration, or Affinity integration. Multiple search runs can be merged into one table for deeper enrichment and analysis. AI Tables work with companies from Extruct or from your own company list, then run repeatable enrichment and scoring workflows.
How do I find contacts at target companies?
Extruct offers AI-powered people search with role-based prompts (e.g., VPs of Sales at Series B SaaS companies, CTOs at AI startups). It also provides waterfall contact enrichment through multi-provider sequential querying for maximum coverage, higher quality through cross-source validation, cost efficiency by paying for successful enrichments, and current data through live provider updates. Email lookups cost 4 credits and phone lookups cost 20 credits.
What integrations does Extruct AI support?
Extruct AI supports full integration with the Extruct AI web platform (app.extruct.ai), HubSpot integration, Affinity integration, CRM integration guidance for enterprise teams, and Extruct MCP for editors and agents (Cursor, VS Code, Claude, Codex, and others). The platform also offers an Extruct API Skill with embedded API workflows.
How do I get started with Extruct AI?
Start with the Free plan to test search and API access. Be specific in your prompts and avoid overly broad queries for better match quality. Run multiple iterations (2-4) before deciding list quality using the Find More feature. You can get API tokens from the Dashboard API Tokens page. For help improving query strategy, reach out to the Extruct team with your target profile and constraints. You can also schedule a 15-min guided walkthrough.
