Y Combinator-backed Origami launched a chat-based AI prospecting tool at $80/month flat fee, hitting 1,000+ signups by February 2026. Users report pulling more leads than ZoomInfo and finding prospects that Sales Navigator missed. The conversational interface eliminates the complexity of Clay's enrichment workflows, making advanced prospecting accessible to teams without technical expertise. This shift toward real-time web research over static databases challenges the expensive per-seat pricing model dominating sales intelligence. As signal-based prospecting gains traction over traditional database filtering, incumbent tools must evolve or risk losing market share to simpler alternatives.
