What is Twain’s Deep Research feature?

Twain’s Deep Research is a standalone sales enablement tool designed for use cases where you need high-level intelligence without necessarily running automated message sequences. It uses Agentic AI to perform real-time research, providing you with deep context on accounts and individual leads.

Do I need to be running an automated campaign to use this?

No. This is now a standalone product. You can generate research data points for any lead or account, making it ideal for teams that prefer manual outreach or need to prep for live discovery calls and demos.

What data points are included in the research?

When you run a deep research query, Twain generates:

  • Expanded Account Research: A comprehensive look at the company’s current environment and data sources.

  • Personalized Discovery Questions: Tailored questions to help you navigate sales calls more effectively.

  • "Why Now" & "Why Us": A specific analysis of why your solution is relevant to the prospect at this exact moment.

  • 1:1 Cold Call Scripts: Fully structured openers including context, hypothesis, social proof, and a clear call to action (CTA).

How does the "Agentic Search" work?

Unlike traditional databases that pull from static records, Twain’s search is live and autonomous. It takes your specific value proposition and searches for a relevant data point. Based on what it finds, it "decides" what to look for next—mimicking the way a human researcher would dig for information.

Can I use this for inbound lead qualification?

Yes. One of the most powerful ways to use the Twain API is to automatically research and qualify inbound leads as they come in. This allows your team to prioritize high-value prospects and enter conversations with a pre-built "Why Now" hypothesis.

How do I access this in my account?

To find these tools:

  1. Navigate to your campaign.

  2. Locate the tabs at the top of the interface.

  3. Switch from the Sequence tab to the Expanded Research tab.

  4. From here, you can generate, preview, and export your research data.

Is there an API available?

Yes. We have a dedicated API for our Deep Research product. This is ideal for teams who want to integrate Twain’s intelligence directly into their own CRM, internal tools, or lead-routing workflows.

Can I export the data?

Absolutely. You can generate research for your entire lead list and export it in bulk, similar to how you would export a standard message sequence.
