Kuration
Kuration, an intelligent tool focused on AI-driven search.
Tags:AI search engineA one-sentence summary
Kuration AI is a platform that uses AI agents to create and maintain one’s own B2B lead database; it enables the conversion of catalogs, event pages, maps, PDF files, and existing tables into sales lists that have been completed, rated, and continuously updated.
Tool Introduction
Kuration AI is operated by Kuration AI Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong, and it is aimed at teams responsible for sales development, growth, RevOps, recruitment, and research. It does not merely provide a shared contact database; instead, it allows users to create custom lists based on their ideal customer profiles, using real-time public data as well as data from authorized sources.
Users can describe the target companies or contacts in natural language, or they can import data from CSV files, web directories, event lists, and PDF documents. The system then plans the steps for data collection and completion, organizing information about companies, decision-makers, contact details, business indicators, and research results into searchable tables.
Core working method
| Phase | Main operations | The obtained results | Common uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | Describe ICP or import web pages, maps, PDFs, CSVs | Initial list of companies or contacts | Event list, local businesses, industry-specific research |
| Complete | Run contact, company attribute, and custom research tools | Email, phone number, position, size, and business indicators | Sales development and account research |
| Filtering | Set conditions, AI scoring, and priorities | Target accounts sorted by degree of matching | Reduce unnecessary outreach. |
| Delivery | Export tables or synchronize CRM with outreach platforms | Data that can be incorporated into existing workflows | Collaboration in marketing, sales, and operations |
| Refresh | Set up Cadence or automated tasks | The dedicated database being updated as planned | Monitor changes in positions, companies, and markets. |
Main functions
Alex AI natural language table creation
The user only needs to specify the type of company or decision-maker they are looking for; Alex AI will then choose the appropriate list builder, data tools, and processing sequence. It is useful for transforming vague sales research objectives into actionable workflows, but the user should still verify that the filtering criteria are accurate.
Multi-channel list construction
The platform offers a variety of methods for creating lists; users can start by using sources such as Google Maps, web directories, PDF files, LinkedIn, Indeed, Alibaba, Yellow Pages, Amazon, Trustpilot, and Apify tasks. Users can also import their own CSV files or use existing data on companies and contacts.
Web directory and event updates
Kuration can extract lists of exhibition exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, associations, as well as professional directories; it is useful for identifying companies in the offline industry that are not covered by traditional contact databases. Changes in the page structure, login restrictions, and anti-automation measures may affect the completeness of the extracted data.
Complete company and contact information
Users can add fields to the table such as the company’s website, industry, size, financing status, job positions, qualifications, professional profile page, work email address, and mobile phone number. Different tools may deduct points based on the success of the operation, the actual results achieved, or the number of entries returned.
Cascading data completion
For fields such as email addresses and phone numbers that cannot be covered through a single source, the platform can call on multiple providers one after another to improve the rate of successful data filling. Sequential calls may increase the amount of points used; therefore, it is necessary to test the success rate using the actual location and target position before making a purchase.
Decision-maker search
The Find People tool allows users to search for contacts based on position, department, experience level, and company criteria, with charging based on the actual number of results returned. Users should set a maximum limit to avoid generating an excessively large list at once.
Custom AI Research Column
Users can define questions, prompts, and the desired format, allowing the AI to analyze products, certifications, recruitment efforts, marketing activities, or other business indicators for each line. Such tools are usually charged based on their usage, and points may still be generated even if no results are obtained.
Clue scoring and sorting
The platform can assign scores to potential customers based on the ideal customer profile and custom criteria, thereby helping the team to focus first on those accounts that match better. The quality of these scores depends on the rules applied, the completeness of the data fields, and the validation samples used; they cannot replace the judgment of sales staff.
Conditional execution and selective completion
Users can perform completion only on those rows that meet the filtering criteria, are missing certain fields, or correspond to specific entries, thereby avoiding unnecessary consumption of credits for the entire table. Before running the operation in batch mode, the estimated number of rows, the order in which they need to be processed, and the associated cost are displayed.
Automatic refresh and Cadence
Paid teams can set the list to be refreshed periodically, in order to continuously monitor any changes in companies, positions, and contact details. Automatic tasks should have defined frequencies, filtering criteria, and budget limits, to avoid unnecessary repeated processing.
Project and Team Workspaces
The team can manage projects, lists, members, and point allocations in the shared workspace; it is also possible to create new projects from the data that has been filtered. Different plans offer varying numbers of workspaces and different levels of permissions.
Supported inputs and outputs
| Category | Supported content | Instructions for use |
|---|---|---|
| Natural language | Description of ICP, industry, region, position, and business signals | Suitable for having the process planned by Alex AI. |
| Web page data | Directory, event pages, corporate websites, and map results | Dynamic pages and login pages need to be tested in practice. |
| Document | PDFs and files containing company or contact information | The quality of the scan affects extraction. |
| Table | CSV, Excel, and existing projects | Standardize column names and encoding before import. |
| Table delivery | CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets | The export range is influenced by the package rules and the number of rows. |
| System delivery | CRM, outreach tools, Webhooks, and REST APIs | An authorization key and the corresponding plan are required. |
Multilingual and Cross-regional Studies
The platform claims to be able to handle more than 12 languages, and it is designed to work with materials in various languages such as Chinese catalogs, Arabic registration information, and French-language event pages. However, multilingual processing does not mean that contact data is available for all countries; the team should conduct tests separately for each target market.
- Check the mapping between the local language name and the English name of the company.
- Standardize country, region, phone area code, and address formats.
- Verify the encoding of non-Latin characters in CSV and CRM.
- Determine the basis for using a company’s contact information in accordance with local laws.
- Avoid equating language comprehension ability with data integrity.
- Manual review is reserved for translations with low confidence and industry classifications.
Recommended usage process
- Define the target industry, region, company size, position, and exclusion criteria.
- Choose natural language, web directory, map, PDF, or CSV as the starting point.
- Generate a small number of samples first to check whether the company meets the ICP requirements.
- Delete obviously irrelevant or duplicate records.
- Only for qualified banks are the enterprise attributes, decision-makers, and contact information completed.
- Add custom research fields and define a fixed output format.
- Use scoring rules to determine priorities and sample high-scoring records for verification.
- Export or synchronize the results to CRM and external contact systems.
- Set refresh schedules and score limits for lists intended for continuous use.
- Regularly process requests for cancellation, deletion, correction, and data expiration.
How to design a high-quality list
A good list should not only include the industry and the number of employees, but also define verifiable purchase indicators, exclusion criteria, and the roles of those who make decisions. At the beginning, the objectives should be formulated as rules that can be assessed line by line.
| Rules section | Suggested wording | Wrong approach |
|---|---|---|
| Target company | Region, industry, scale, and business type | Only list high-quality companies. |
| Trigger signal | Participation in exhibitions, recruitment, expansion, certification, or technology stack | State that there is a demand in the near future. |
| Contact person | Specific departments, functions, qualifications, and maximum numbers | Find the person in charge |
| Exclusions | Competitors, existing customers, those without a website, or certain industries | After generation, manually delete a large number of them. |
| Output field | Field names, data types, enums, and null value rules | Let AI operate freely. |
| Acceptance | Sample accuracy, repetition rate, and effectiveness of contact information | Only consider the total number. |
Table operation and cost control
The price information was verified on August 23, 2026; the actual amounts, taxes, exchange rates, and discounts may vary, and the final figures will be those displayed on the settlement page.
Kuration enables batch execution of tools either row by row or column by column, with the order of execution determined by field dependencies. Users can choose to process 10, 25, 50, or 100 rows, or to handle only the rows with missing data or all rows that meet the criteria.
- Filter first and then complete the process; do not run expensive tools on the entire original table.
- For simple searches, it is preferable to use lighter tools or proxies.
- In-depth analysis is conducted only on high-value accounts.
- Check the charging details and estimated points before proceeding.
- Set thresholds and maximum limits for the number of transactions per cycle for automatic top-ups.
- View the score history for the account and the workspace separately.
- For duplicate entries, first check the existing companies and contacts.
- Retain a small sample as a benchmark for accuracy and cost.
How are points deducted?
| Payment method | When to deduct | Representative task | Control recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charging after success | When available results are found | Email, phone number, and some corporate fields | Preferentially used for fields with uncertain hit rates. |
| Charging per run | The fee is deducted as soon as the tool is used. | AI research, web searching, and scraping | First, test the prompts in small batches. |
| Charge based on results | By number of returned entries | Decision-makers and content generation | Set a clear upper limit on the quantity. |
| Free tools | No points will be deducted. | Scoring, partial list creation, and CRM operations | First, narrow down the range using the free steps. |
Under the current standard rates, most individual tools are worth 1 point; a verified email address is worth 5 points, a mobile phone number is worth 10 points, and locating the decision-maker is worth 2 points. Kura Pro research, Kura Max in-depth research, data extraction from event pages, and automatic database updates typically cost 5, 15, 20, and 30 points respectively.
Price packages
Kuration offers a monthly or annual subscription model along with a points system; the annual plan comes with a 20% discount. The pricing page displays the available monthly subscription options, while taxes, currency rates depending on the region, and the settlement amounts in the account may vary.

REST API and Webhook
The technical documentation provides information on workflow APIs, project and row interfaces, Webhook events, as well as instructions for signature verification; it is suitable for integrating research and enhancements into internal systems. APIs and Webhooks are explicitly listed in the Pro and higher plan versions, while other access methods depend on the account permissions.
- Confirm in the account that the API for the package has been activated and a dedicated key has been created.
- Different keys are used for development, testing, and production.
- Create a project with the minimum sample size and verify the field structure.
- Set rates, concurrency, timeouts, and maximum points for batch tasks.
- The Webhook receiver must verify the signature to prevent duplicate processing.
- Log the request identifier, status, and errors, but do not write the keys to the logs.
- For failed tasks, retry, dead letter handling, and manual review are provided.
- Test for insufficient quotas and unavailable third-party systems before going live.
MCP connection
Kuration provides MCP connections, which enable the use of listing and research functions within Claude, Cursor, and other compatible clients. MCP allows AI assistants to work directly with business data, offering convenience; however, it also increases the risk of errors resulting from natural language commands as well as unauthorized access.
- Create a separate and revocable key for MCP.
- Start the verification by connecting only to the non-sensitive test workspace.
- Limit the items that agents can read and write.
- Manual confirmation is added for batch completion, deletion, and external action tasks.
- Check whether the client saves prompts, results, and keys.
- Monitor integral consumption and abnormal calls.
API, SDK, and open-source status
| Project | Current status | Correct understanding |
|---|---|---|
| REST API | Existing technical documentation | Supports project, row, and workflow automation |
| Webhook | Existing event and signature descriptions | The receiver still needs to carry out verification and ensure idempotency. |
| MCP | Supports various AI-compatible clients. | It belongs to remote service connections; it is not equivalent to a local model. |
| Official SDK | No independent and publicly available SDK packages have been identified. | It can be integrated directly via network interfaces. |
| Official GitHub organization | It exists, but there is no public warehouse. | The platform cannot be marked as open source. |
| Core platform source code | Not disclosed | It currently falls under commercial hosting services. |
| Private deployment | The company page does not provide any explicit guarantees. | The Data Area option is not equivalent to self-hosting. |
