Firecrawl adds people-data prospecting to ChatGPT and Claude

Firecrawl announced on October 20 that its Alexandria people-data search plugin is available inside ChatGPT and Claude, letting users build prospect lists, find work emails and research job histories, with 1,000 free monthly credits and access to 270M+ records. Firecrawl co-founder and CEO Caleb Peffer is positioning Alexandria as a single data-access layer for AI agents, though contact lookups beyond free search can cost credits. Record coverage, per-call costs and provider usage terms will determine whether the prospecting workflows are useful in practice.

Why it matters #

Firecrawl is turning Alexandria into a route from conversational agents to paid professional-data providers. The 1,000-credit allowance lowers the trial barrier, but record coverage, per-call costs and provider usage terms determine whether prospecting workflows are useful in practice.

Firecrawl is putting professional people-data search inside ChatGPT and Claude, extending co-founder and CEO Caleb Peffer's effort to make Alexandria a single data-access layer for AI agents. In an October 20th post on X, Firecrawl said users can build prospect lists, find work emails and research job histories through its plugin, with 1,000 free monthly credits.
