Overview

Use the ZoomInfo connector to integrate ZoomInfo’s comprehensive B2B database with your AI assistant. This connection allows you to bring high-quality company and contact data directly into AI-powered conversations for personalized business intelligence.

With the connector, you can ask natural-language questions like:

  • Sales: “Find all VP-level contacts at tech companies in San Francisco with 100–500 employees.”
  • Marketing: “Show me fast-growing SaaS companies in the Northeast that raised funding in the last 2 years.”
  • Recruiting: “Identify senior engineering managers at Fortune 500 companies with LinkedIn profiles.”
  • Business Development: “Give me ZoomInfo’s competitor profiles with revenue and employee growth trends.”
