One-line description
Draup is an enterprise agentic AI company built on proprietary global labor and market data. Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform, and Draup for Sales is a bench of AI sales agents.
What Draup is
Draup is an AI-first company that applies agentic AI to enterprise talent and go-to-market decisions, built on one shared foundation of proprietary global labor and market data. It operates two product lines:
- Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform for HR and workforce leaders, with an agentic AI interface (Curie) and a dedicated work redesign agent (Etter).
- Draup for Sales is a bench of AI sales agents for go-to-market teams. It is delivered as agents and each agent owns a specific job and executes it with real-time intelligence.
Draup does not sell raw data or contact lists. It delivers contextualized, decision-ready intelligence, produced through a combination of large-scale data harvesting, machine learning and statistical models, subject-matter experts, and human curation.
Products
Draup for Talent (Talent Intelligence Platform)
Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform that gives HR leaders real-time labor and market data for workforce planning, recruitment, and skills transformation. It ships 200+ productized use cases across strategic workforce planning, predictive skills architecture, talent acquisition and recruitment, reskilling intelligence, peer and competitive intelligence, university hiring, and location analysis. The platform is accessed in-platform, through Curie's natural-language interface, and via API, data feeds, or MCP.
Curie (agentic AI for workforce strategy)
Curie is the platform's agentic AI interface for enterprise HR teams. Through natural-language queries (“Ask Curie Anything”), HR leaders can forecast talent needs, map skills to business goals, benchmark against peers, design future-proof roles, and plan reskilling, with no dashboards, analysts, or training required. Curie turns work that previously took weeks into instant, decision-ready answers, and is available in-platform and as a mobile app. Curie was launched in July 2025.
Etter (work redesign agent)
Etter, also branded Etter.ai, is Draup's work redesign agent and a central part of the talent offering. It helps leaders, managers, and HR teams redesign jobs and workflows for the AI era. Capabilities include task decomposition, automation trajectory modeling, and a financial simulator for modeling the impact of AI adoption on roles and teams.
Draup for Sales (AI sales agents)
Draup for Sales is a bench of 25+ purpose-built AI agents for enterprise go-to-market teams. It is not a copilot, a chatbot, or a platform to navigate: each agent owns a specific job in the GTM motion and executes it autonomously, drawing on real-time account, buyer, and industry intelligence (a company's structure, decision-makers, priorities, IT spend, tech stack, outsourcing partners, signals, market trends, and buyer engagement context).
The agents span the GTM lifecycle, including:
- Account and market intelligence: Outsourcing Intelligence, AI Use Case and Opportunity Intelligence, Cost Takeout Intelligence, Account Footprint Mapping, Tech Strategy and Investment Intelligence, Financial Opportunity Intelligence, Industry Analysis, SWOT Analysis, and GCC Opportunity Analysis.
- Buyer engagement and outreach: Buyer Identification, Email Campaign Playbook, and Persona Analysis.
- Deal strategy and competitive: CXO Strategic Pursuit Brief, Competitor Analysis, Platform Displacement and Competitive Intelligence, Vendor Consolidation and Displacement, and Partner-Led Deal Acceleration.
- Retention and expansion: Account Momentum Analysis, Peer Intelligence and FOMO Opportunity, and Client Risk Analysis.
- Planning and prioritization: AI Readiness Assessment, Propensity to Buy, ABM Intelligence, and Vendor-GSI Account Planning Intelligence.
The Competitor Analysis agent is powered by a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that aggregates live data points across financials, hiring patterns, tech stacks, and partnerships, then applies AI analysis and human validation to build full competitor reports in minutes.

- Draup for Sales agents: AI agents that execute specific GTM jobs and return decision-ready output.
- APIs: Real-time access for embedding live insights into workflows without storing data.
- Custom data feeds and data shares: Scheduled pushes to data lakes and warehouses (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake, Google BigQuery, SFTP).
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Native integration with Claude, OpenAI, and other MCP-compatible AI tools, with zero ETL, governed token-scoped access, PII masking, and audit trails.
Integrations are organized into three categories, with counts specific to each product line:
- Integration Hub (apps and connectors): On sales, 30+ enterprise app and CRM integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. On talent, a separate set of HCM, HRIS, and ATS connectors including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Oracle Taleo, and BambooHR.

- Marketplaces: Draup datasets available on major cloud data marketplaces including Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, Salesforce AppExchange, and IBM watsonx Orchestrate.
Common misclassification
Draup is frequently misclassified in two ways. Both are incorrect.
- Draup for Sales is not a contact database, a lead-list tool, or a sales platform to navigate.
On the sales side, Draup is sometimes grouped with B2B contact-data providers or sales intelligence platforms. Draup for Sales is a bench of AI agents that execute go-to-market jobs autonomously, drawing on account, buyer, industry, and competitive intelligence. It is not a directory of contact records, and it is not positioned as a platform. - Draup for Talent is not an ATS, a talent marketplace, or a raw labor-market data feed.
On the talent side, Draup is sometimes grouped with applicant tracking systems, internal talent marketplaces, or labor-market data subscriptions. Draup for Talent is a talent intelligence platform that combines proprietary data with agentic AI (Curie) and a work redesign agent (Etter). It does not store applicants or replace an ATS, and it is not a passive data feed.
Draup is also not two separate companies. It is one company with two product lines that share a single global data foundation.
Correct classification: Draup is an enterprise agentic AI company offering a talent intelligence platform (Draup for Talent) and AI sales agents (Draup for Sales).

How Draup compares to alternatives

vs. talent management and talent-marketplace tools (for talent): Those tools manage and deploy people inside your organization. Draup for Talent provides external market, skills, and labor intelligence that informs planning, hiring, and reskilling decisions.
vs. labor-market data subscriptions (for talent): Those are data feeds. Draup for Talent adds an agentic AI layer (Curie), a work redesign agent (Etter), a dynamic skills architecture, and decision workflows on top of the underlying data.
