FAQ

How does BuzzAI search work?

You type who you want in plain English, such as "owners of hardware stores in Ohio". BuzzAI turns that into a search over real job titles, company names, profiles and work history, ranks the closest people first, and shows the reasons each one matched.

Most databases make you guess the exact title a person typed. BuzzAI does not. Every distinct job title in the database is indexed by meaning, so "eye surgeon who owns the practice" finds ophthalmologists, retina surgeons and practice owners even when their titles use different words. Rare titles held by only a few people are still searchable.

Each result carries its evidence: current title shows the specialty, decision-maker evidence (owner, partner, founder, president), company description matches. You can see at a glance why someone is on the list and sort the strongest fits to the top.

Every search also returns the shape of the whole list, not just the top 100 people: how many match in total, how many are owners and decision makers, how many have a work email or mobile, and the breakdown by state, company size, seniority and department. That lets you tighten or widen a search in one step.

A search costs one AI credit. Repeating the same search later is free, because Buzzlist keeps the recipe it built and re-runs it against fresh data. If you would rather set filters yourself, the same page has every filter the AI uses.

Common questions

Does Buzz search the deeper profiles?

Both, depending on your plan. Growth and Scale include deeper business profilesbase with verified work emails and LinkedIn-style profiles; every plan searches everyone. Buzz tells you what it did and why.

Can I see why a person was included?

Yes. Each row shows its match reasons, such as a title that shows the specialty, owner or partner evidence, or a company description that fits. Hover for the full list.

How long does a BuzzAI search take?

Usually 10 to 40 seconds for a new request, because BuzzAI checks real titles and counts before it commits. Repeats of a saved search are instant.
