AI Ark

A proprietary lookalike model compares company descriptions, products, services and keywords from up to five seed accounts, a smart filter mode finds related concepts, and AI resolves conflicts when sources disagree on a record. A personality analysis adds DISC and OCEAN estimates. The database, verification and enrichment underneath work on their own, and AI search is the layer that sets the product apart.

Little runs on its own, and nothing writes into customer systems directly: lists leave as export files or through flows the customer builds on the API. Records can be edited before export, and guidance for AI agents using the API says to preview first, check credits on jobs above about 100 credits and stop to ask the user when credits run out. Overwrite behavior in downstream tools is left to the customer's own flows.

No model or AI provider is named, and how similarity scores are calculated is not explained. The personality analysis infers DISC and OCEAN traits from a LinkedIn headline, summary and skills, with no statement of its accuracy or limits.

Bounce rates under 1.5 percent and ICP match rates above 95 percent with lookalike search are presented as typical, with no sample, period or method, and the bounce figure is framed as an expected result for buyers to test themselves. The two case studies with results, including more than 200 meetings for Purple.ai, were managed engagements run by AI Ark staff, and accuracy is put at 98 to 99 percent.

Legitimate interest is the stated basis, and an opt out form permanently deletes a person's record within GDPR time limits, though nothing keeps the record from being collected again. No data broker registration or legitimate interest assessment is offered, and the terms leave Do Not Call screening and suppression lists to the customer while excluding uses covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Notices under GDPR Articles 13 and 14 cover the people in the database and refer to unnamed third party providers for hosting and analytics, promising only adequate protection for transfers. The terms make AI Ark a processor for customer data and an independent controller for its own database, but no standalone DPA, subprocessor list, breach notice timing or retention period is given.

Data comes from public sources, partner networks and community contributions, cross referenced against multiple top tier vendors and supplemented by company websites, news, job postings and email engagement signals. None of the vendors is named, community contributions are not defined, and mobile numbers are drawn from public records. Core records follow a 30 day refresh cycle, and about 70 percent of exported contacts carry a verified email.

AI Ark says it never bypasses logins or extracts data from gated platforms, yet the API returns LinkedIn profile links with follower and connection counts, filters on LinkedIn followers and accepts LinkedIn URLs for lookalikes and personality analysis. How those LinkedIn fields are collected is not explained, and the terms are silent on LinkedIn.

The terms let AI Ark use customer data, including anonymized and aggregated forms, to operate, analyze and improve its products, without saying whether that includes training models. Saved records, lists and search history are removed at the end of the billing cycle after cancellation, uploaded files stay in the customer's workspace, and retention otherwise follows policies that are not published.

Nothing is sent to prospects, and customers carry exported lists into their own sequencers. No notice to the people in the database is described, and no position on Article 50 of the EU AI Act is taken.

A REST API allows five requests a second per key, 100 records per request and 500 asynchronous jobs at once, with webhooks on export and email finder jobs retried three times. An MCP server works with Cursor, Claude Desktop and Windsurf, though it takes the API key in the URL, and a command line tool and Clay compatible endpoints and templates support GTM engineers. CRMs and sequencers connect only through export files or Zapier, Make and n8n flows, and a native Clay push is in development.

The service runs on secure cloud infrastructure, with the provider, region and residency questions referred to sales. A public status page reports uptime of about 99.9 percent for the app and 99.4 percent for the email verifier.

Encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, audit logging and backups are in place, while questions about SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are referred to sales and neither is claimed. No trust center, single sign on or multi factor sign in is described.

A free plan gives 100 credits a month, and paid tiers run from Starter at $49 to $119 a month for 5,000 to 30,000 credits, through Builder at $219 to $879, to Scale at $1,249 to $9,999 for up to 5 million credits, with annual billing 20 percent lower. A profile or a valid email costs half a credit, a mobile number five and a company record a tenth, only valid emails are charged and exports can be repeated free. Unused credits roll over up to twice the monthly allowance, top ups are unpriced, and the terms call every sale final.

Monthly and annual plans renew automatically and can be cancelled with effect at the end of the term, and unused credits expire on termination. Exported CSV files remain the customer's under an internal use license that bars resale, while saved lists and search history are removed at the end of the billing cycle and any export after termination is offered only where technically feasible. Delaware law governs with individual arbitration, and liability is capped at twelve months of fees.

Every email is checked in real time at export through BounceBan, with SMTP and catch all tests, and invalid, unknown and risky addresses are removed, leaving catch all addresses only when confirmed valid. No bounce guarantee or credit refund is offered, and the terms disclaim responsibility for deliverability, bounce rates and sender reputation.

Agencies, founders, GTM engineers and recruiters are the buyers, with industry pages for manufacturing, marketing and HR and global coverage. Named customers include Connect Resources, Virtual Identity, Liquid Capital, Energyworx and Purple.ai, with testimonials from agencies such as Beanstalk and LeadGrow.ai.
