Overview
This skill connects your OpenClaw agent to Ocean.io's B2B intelligence platform. Use it to build prospect lists, enrich accounts, find lookalike companies, and surface the right contacts — all from natural language commands.
Ocean.io covers 60M+ companies and 200M+ people. Credits are consumed at 0.2 per record for both searches and exports.
When to use this skill
Activate Ocean.io when the user wants to:
- Find companies similar to existing customers ("lookalike" search)
- Build a prospect list filtered by industry, size, location, or tech stack
- Identify decision-makers at target accounts by title, department, or seniority
- Export a contact or company list to CSV for use in outreach tools
- Check what fields are available before building a search

Example workflows
ICP lookalike prospecting
"Find 20 companies similar to stripe.com and shopify.com, B2B SaaS, 50-500 employees, US-based."
- Call
search_companies with lookalikeDomains: ["stripe.com", "shopify.com"],
companySizes: ["51-200", "201-500"], primaryLocations: { includeCountries: ["us"] }.
- Present results as a table (name, domain, size, industry, country).
- Confirm credit cost (N × 0.2) before calling
export_companies.
Finding decision-makers at target accounts
"Find VP of Sales or Head of Revenue at these 10 companies."
- Call
search_people with jobTitleKeywords: { anyOf: ["VP of Sales", "Head of Revenue"] },
seniorities: ["VP", "Head"], company_filters: { includeDomains: [...] },
people_fields: ["name", "jobTitle", "linkedinUrl", "country", "departments"].
- Display results as a table.
- Offer to export — confirm credit cost before calling
export_people.
Trigger-based prospecting (recently funded)
"Find Series A or B SaaS companies that raised funding in the last 6 months."
- Call
search_companies with fundingRound: { types: ["Series A", "Series B"], date: { from: "<6 months ago>" } }.
- Optionally layer in industry/size filters if the user specifies an ICP.
- Suggest following up with
search_people to find the relevant contacts at those accounts.
Hiring signal prospecting
"Find companies in the sales tech space that are rapidly growing their Sales department."
- Call
search_companies with departmentHeadcountGrowth targeting the Sales department
with positive growth over the last 6 months.
- Cross-reference with industry or tech stack filters to narrow to ICP.
Full account + contact workflow with export
"Find Chicago-headquartered companies similar to pandadoc.com and export them to CSV."
- Call
search_companies with lookalikeDomains: ["pandadoc.com"], primaryLocations: { includeCountries: ["us"] }, and a city filter for Chicago.
- Present results as a table (name, domain, description).
- State: "This export will consume X credits (N companies × 0.2). Confirm?"
- On confirmation, call
export_companies and return the download URL to the user.
Credit awareness
All operations consume credits at 0.2 credits per record — this applies to both search results and exports. Before any search, state the estimated credit cost (num_results × 0.2). Before any export, confirm: "This will export N records at 0.2 credits each = X credits total. Confirm?"
Never call export_companies or export_people without explicit user confirmation.
Tips
- Use
companyMatchingMode: "precise" for tight lookalikes (same product category).
Use "broad" when the user wants a wider net (same industry vertical).
- Combine
search_companies + search_people for full account + contact workflows:
find the companies first, then pass their domains into company_filters.includeDomains
on search_people.
changedPositionAfter is powerful for timing outreach — a newly hired VP of Sales
is actively building their stack.
- Both
search_companies and search_people return paginated results. After presenting the first page, offer to load more. Pass the searchAfter token from the last result into the next call to fetch the next page.
- For pagination, pass the
searchAfter value from previous results back into the next call.
