Questions, answered
The short version of what Bluelake is, how it works, and what it costs.
What is Bluelake?
Bluelake is the agentic platform for IT consulting firms. Working from its market map and from what your tools know, its agents spot the projects, find who decides and bring in the right experts. Billy, the agent inside Bluelake, orchestrates them.
Who is Bluelake for?
IT consulting firms, through time-and-materials or fixed-price engagements: their leadership, their account managers, their recruiters and their managers. Software vendors can use it too, to follow their accounts and partners: write to us.
How does Bluelake work?
Bluelake reads public professional signals: what teams write about their work, the roles companies open, and the people who join or leave. It reconstructs named projects from them, each linked to its sources, and follows open job posts and new arrivals. Projects show what a company has built; job posts and arrivals show where it is heading. The account watch agent reads this map for you and emails you every morning; when you ask Billy, it answers from the map and from your tools.
What does Billy do?
Billy is the agent inside Bluelake. It answers when you talk to it, in Bluelake or in your team chat: it briefs you on an account (what it has built, what it is hiring for, who decides there and what changed), points out the people to prioritize, finds the experts to bring in on a project, based on what they have already delivered, and prepares your email drafts. The agents work on their own: the account watch agent reads the map for you and emails you every morning. We build the others with you during the trial. Nothing goes out without your approval.
What is an agent in Bluelake?
An agent does a job for your firm without being asked each time: it starts on a signal or on a schedule, works from the account map and your tools, and delivers a result (an alert, a draft, an updated record). We build it with you during the trial, and you set its rules.
Can an agent send a message or change our CRM without us?
Not without your approval: you approve a sequence or a rule once, then the agent applies it, and every action is logged. If you prefer, its messages stay as drafts until you review them.
Does Billy send emails or update my CRM?
Billy sends nothing without your approval: it prepares email drafts in your mailbox. It reads your CRM when your team connects it, and updates it only with your approval, for example to log an email you sent. When you talk to Billy, people go to your CRM only when you add them, after a check against what is already there. The CRM updates agent follows the rule your manager approved once, and every update is logged and reversible.
Which tools does Bluelake work with?
Billy works with your CRM, your team chat, your mailbox and your calendar. Tell us which ones you use, and we will confirm what is already connected.
How is Bluelake different from a generic AI agent or a contact database?
Generic AI agents search the web, and contact databases give you names. Bluelake already knows each company's projects, open roles and new arrivals; its agents use them to find who decides and prepare the groundwork, and Billy orchestrates them. Your CRM keeps your deals and your history; Bluelake tells you what changed.
We already build our own AI agents. Why Bluelake?
An agent is only as good as its data. Bluelake brings you the market map: each account's projects, job posts and decision makers, dated, sourced and continuously updated. Its agents and Billy work from it, and from the tools your team already uses. Bluelake also gives its agents a consulting firm's harness: your methods, your connected tools and the controls (a CRM checked before any update, nothing sent without your approval).
Where does Bluelake's data come from?
Projects and people come from public professional signals, never private data or anything behind a login, and every project links back to the public sources it was reconstructed from. When you ask for someone's work email or mobile number, Bluelake looks it up through a provider specialized in professional contact data.
What does the map cover today?
End clients operating in France with an in-house Data & AI team: their projects, job posts, decision makers and people moves.
Is Bluelake's data up to date?
Yes. The account map is continuously updated: every project, job post and arrival is dated, and every project links back to its sources.
Are my conversations with Billy used to train AI?
No. Your conversations are never used to train an AI model or to prospect your clients. The Bluelake team can read them to improve the service; every reading is logged, and you can turn it off in your profile.
Where is my data, and can I get it back?
It is hosted in the European Union, and our GDPR-compliant DPA is online. Every user can download all their data in one click, Billy conversations included. The team's manager can export or delete the whole team's workspace.
Where can I check Bluelake's service status?
On status.getbluelake.ai, Bluelake's status page. The footer of every page on this site also shows the live status.
