Here's how I built my own AI Sales Associate — with no code, no budget, and no headache.
Lead generation is one thing — but knowing who your leads actually are is a whole other challenge.
It’s a common frustration:
You get a name, maybe an email… and that’s it. No clue if they’re from a real company, a good-fit customer, or just passing through.
Many teams either hire help or invest in expensive tools to fill in the gaps. But what if there was a simpler way?
That question led me to explore a no-code solution. And the result genuinely surprised me.
With just two tools — AgentSource and n8n — I created a working AI-powered lead bot in under an hour. It now:
Grabs leads from my site
Enriches them with real-time company/contact info
Summarizes who they are, using GPT
And logs everything neatly in Google Sheets
Also sends a personalized welcome email
Here’s how I built it — and how you can too.
The Tools: AgentSource + n8n
What is AgentSource?
AgentSource is a set of real-time B2B data APIs. You give it a name, email, or domain — and it gives you back:
- Company details (industry, size, location)
- Contact data (name, title, email)
- Extra signals like revenue, tech stack, and more
It’s made for AI agents and automations — which means it's fast and clean.
What is n8n?
n8n is a low-code automation tool — kind of like Zapier, but open-source and much more powerful.
You drag and drop blocks to build workflows: get data, transform it, send it somewhere. No coding needed. And best of all, AgentSource now has a built-in n8n integration, which makes connecting the two super simple.
The Problem Most People Face with Leads
A form submission lands in your inbox. You’ve got a name, maybe an email, and if you’re lucky — a company name.
But now what?
Is this a serious lead or just someone browsing?
What’s their role or background?
Are they a good fit? Should you follow up?
These are the questions most of us face when trying to turn raw form fills into real opportunities.
And yet, enriching and qualifying leads usually takes time, effort, or money.
That’s the exact problem this little AI lead bot aims to solve.
What I Built: My AI Sales Associate
Here’s the full flow I created in n8n:
- Trigger: A form gets filled out on the site (Used a webhook to catch this)
- AgentSource: I send the email or domain to AgentSource and get enriched data
- OpenAI (GPT): I use GPT to write a one-line summary of the lead: “Sarah is a Head of Product at a fast-growing SaaS company.”
- Google Sheets: I log all this into my CRM table
- Email (optional): I even have the option to auto-send a personalized welcome email
All of this happens instantly. And I didn’t touch a single line of code.
What It Looks Like (Visually)
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Each step is just a node in n8n. You set it up once, and it runs forever.
Why This is Cool
This tiny build taught me something big:
You don’t need a dev team or fancy tools to build useful AI workflows.
- AgentSource gives you rich B2B data instantly
- n8n helps you stitch it together in minutes
- GPT adds the human touch (summaries, messages, etc.)
And suddenly, you’re not just capturing leads — you’re understanding them and acting on them smartly.
Want to Try It?
Here’s what I recommend:
- Start a free n8n account (or self-host it)
- Get an AgentSource API key
- Use their integration to enrich a dummy email or domain
- Then build from there!
I’d love to see what you create with this combo. It's perfect for solo founders, side projects, and anyone curious about mixing automation with AI.
