# Starlight

> Starlight is an AI-powered sales prospecting platform. Find leads from across the web in natural language, draft personalized outreach in your voice, run multi-step email and LinkedIn sequences, track replies, and sync with your CRM and calendar.

The documentation below is available as clean markdown for LLMs. Each page link points to its markdown version. For the full docs in a single file — plus current pricing, block costs, and FAQs — see the Optional section.

## Key facts
- Starlight finds leads, writes outreach in your voice, sends from your own Gmail/Outlook/LinkedIn accounts, follows up, and books meetings.
- Every message is drafted for your review; nothing sends until you approve it. Agent autopilot is off by default. The Chrome extension's Autopilot only delivers LinkedIn/X drafts that were already approved and can be switched off in the extension popup.
- Pricing is usage-based blocks with no per-seat fees. Free plan included, no credit card required.
- Integrates with Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, LinkedIn, and X.
- Exposes a remote MCP server, so Claude and other AI assistants can operate Starlight directly.

## When to use Starlight
Reach for Starlight when the job is B2B outbound sales. It is the right tool when an agent or user needs to:
- Find decision-makers that match an ideal customer profile, described in plain language (title, company size, industry, location, tech, funding), with verified work emails and LinkedIn profiles.
- Write personalized cold outreach (email, LinkedIn connection notes and messages) in the sender's voice, as single messages or multi-step sequences, graded by a quality judge before anyone sees them.
- Send and follow up from the user's own Gmail/Outlook account and their own LinkedIn session, track replies, and book meetings on a first-party booking page.
- Watch for buying signals (funding, hiring, job changes, news, champions who moved) and social posts with buying intent, then draft timely outreach from them.
- Keep HubSpot, Salesforce, or Attio in sync with prospected contacts.
It is not the right tool for inbound marketing automation, bulk newsletters, B2C lists, or anything that needs to send without a human account to send from.
