What can an AI agent do with Apollo.io?

An Apollo.io AI agent can search for prospects by title, company, or industry, enrich contact and account records, look up email addresses and phone numbers, list active outreach sequences, enroll contacts into sequences, and create new contact records. Every Apollo.io action waits for your approval, including write actions like enrolling contacts or creating records.

Will my AI agent contact prospects without my permission?

No. Enrolling a contact in a sequence is a write action and always requires your explicit approval before it runs. The agent will stage the action and wait for you to confirm.

How is this different from Apollo.io's built-in automation?

Apollo's native automation runs fixed rules. An AI agent understands natural-language instructions, adapts to context, and can combine Apollo data with other tools - for example, researching a prospect in Apollo and then drafting a personalized email in Gmail before asking for your sign-off.

Does the AI agent use my Apollo.io API credits?

Yes. Each search or contact lookup consumes API credits from your Apollo.io account according to their standard pricing. The agent only makes calls when actively running a task, so you remain in control of usage.
