How It Works
- Search Google via SerpAPI:
"name" site:domain email, LinkedIn profiles - Generate common email format guesses (firstname@, f.lastname@, firstname.lastname@...)
- Use GPT-4o-mini to extract/validate emails from search snippets
- Score confidence based on source (direct find = high, pattern guess = low/medium)
