People Search by Context.dev

What makes it different

People Search by Context.dev gives AI agents one API to find people. Developers describe who they want in natural language — for example, VPs of sales at solar companies in California — optionally filter by country and years of experience, and get up to 10 profiles per request with role, employer, location, skills and schools.

It is pitched as 1 billion people, one API, for agents looking for decision makers to sell to, founders to build with or engineers to hire, at 10 credits per page. It adds to a people-enrichment API Context.dev introduced in August 2026.

People Search sits inside Context.dev's wider web-data API, which also scrapes URLs to clean markdown, crawls sites, and extracts brand data like logos, colors, fonts and socials — one REST API with typed SDKs for TypeScript, Python and Ruby, so agents get structured web data without brittle scraping infrastructure.

Context.dev, founded by Yahia Bakour, raised a $9M seed round led by General Catalyst in October 2026, and says it is trusted by more than 5,000 businesses. People Search runs on the same credit system: a free plan with 1,000 credits a month, and paid plans from $20 a month.
