Collect the transcripts - **Fireflies (recorded calls)**: Discovery, Demo and Client calls. Every call already names people nobody ever follows up with. Any recorded call works. Tool: Fireflies. 2. Extract the people named - **Third-party extraction**: Person, Company, Title and Verbatim quote. Finds every third person floated on the call. Built from what was said, never from speaker labels. Read: Claude. Handles: Names mangled by transcription. 3. Deduplicate and merge - **Mention found → What happens** - Same name, same company → Exact match, merged - Misspelled name, same company → Fuzzy match, merged - Three mentions, three quotes → One record, every quote kept - **Context quotes are merged, never dropped** 4. Apply the resolvability gate - **Gate 1: Full name**: First and last name both heard. First names are held back, not guessed. Dropped: Held: first name. - **Gate 2: Named company**: A real company is attached to the person. Dropped: Held: junk name. - **Gate 3: Inferable title**: The role can be worked out from the call. Dropped: Held: no title. 5. Resolve and enrich - **Match person to company**: Only resolvable rows reach this step, so only they cost money. Match: Clay and Apollo. - **Verified email**: The original quote rides along as personalization fuel. Find: Findymail. Attach: Quote from the call. 6. Push to Clay and notify - **Webhook into Clay**: One call per resolvable lead. Clay owns the sequence from here. Push: Clay. - **Tell the rep**: The rep who ran the call sees who was pulled from it. Notify: Slack. - **Outcome: Named leads, quote attached**. Tool: Clay. **The stack:** Fireflies, Claude, Clay, Apollo, Findymail, Slack. ## The play in six steps 1. ### Step 1: Collect the transcripts Every call already contains named third parties nobody ever actions. - Pull discovery, demo and client-call transcripts from Fireflies. - Works on any recorded call, not just sales calls. 2. ### Step 2: Extract the people named An LLM pass finds every third person floated on the call: the ones the speakers are not. - Person, company, title, and the verbatim quote they came from. - Third-party only: derived from what was said, never from the speaker labels. - Robust to ASR mangling names. 3. ### Step 3: Deduplicate and merge The same person gets mentioned three times in one call with three spellings. - Exact match, then fuzzy match on name plus company. - Merge the context quotes rather than dropping them. 4. ### Step 4: Apply the resolvability gate The gate is what makes the output usable instead of noisy. - Needs a full name, a named company, and an inferable title. - First-name-only mentions are held back, not guessed at. - Obvious junk company names are held back. 5. ### Step 5: Resolve and enrich Only the resolvable rows cost money to enrich. - Match person to company via Clay and Apollo. - Verified email via Findymail. - Attach the original quote as personalization fuel. 6. ### Step 6: Push to Clay and notify Clay owns sequencing from here; the rep gets told it happened. - One webhook call per resolvable lead. - Slack notification to the rep who ran the call. ## Tools used The seven tools this play names.
