Lead generation automation at your fingertips

Your AI agent manages your PhantomBuster fleet of web scrapers and automation Phantoms, giving your sales team conversational control over their lead generation infrastructure.

List All Agents

Your sales manager asks what Phantoms are currently set up. The AI agent retrieves all PhantomBuster agents for the organization, showing names, statuses, and configurations. A quick inventory of your entire automation fleet in one message.

Monitor Running Containers

Are your LinkedIn scrapers still running? The agent checks PhantomBuster for all active containers across the organization. Real-time visibility into which Phantoms are executing right now, without switching to another dashboard.

Export Agent Usage Reports

Your team lead needs a usage summary for the past 30 days. The agent exports a CSV report from PhantomBuster detailing every agent's run statistics, execution times, and performance metrics. Data-driven decisions from a chat conversation.

Check Organization Resources

Running low on phantom slots or execution minutes? Your agent queries PhantomBuster for current resource usage and quotas. The team knows exactly how much capacity remains before hitting limits, preventing unexpected automation pauses.

Fetch Container History

A specific LinkedIn scraper failed last night. Your agent retrieves all containers for that agent, showing execution history, exit codes, and timing. Debug automation issues conversationally instead of digging through logs in the PhantomBuster dashboard.

Generate AI Completions

Need to craft personalized outreach messages for your scraped leads? The agent uses PhantomBuster's built-in AI module to generate text completions based on your prompt, producing tailored messages for each prospect directly in the conversation.

Use Cases

Lead generation managed through conversations

Sales and marketing teams use their AI agent to control PhantomBuster automations, check scraping results, and manage their lead generation operations without leaving their chat tools.

Daily Lead Pipeline Status Check

Every morning, your sales manager asks the AI agent for a status update on overnight Phantom runs. The agent queries PhantomBuster for running containers, checks which agents completed successfully, and surfaces any failures with error details. The manager knows the state of their lead pipeline before their first coffee. Issues that went unnoticed for hours now get flagged in seconds.

Usage Reporting for Budget Reviews

Finance asks for a breakdown of PhantomBuster usage across the sales team. The AI agent exports container and agent usage CSVs covering the past 90 days, showing how many runs each phantom consumed, total execution time, and per-agent costs. The ops team builds their budget case from a three-minute conversation instead of hours of manual report pulling.

Emergency Unschedule When Limits Are Hit

Your team notices they are approaching PhantomBuster's monthly rate limits. The AI agent checks current resource usage, confirms the quota situation, and unschedules all upcoming Phantom launches organization-wide to prevent overages. Automation gets paused proactively. No surprise charges, no account suspensions, handled in one quick chat exchange.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI agent launch individual PhantomBuster Phantoms on demand?

The current integration focuses on monitoring and management: listing agents, checking container status, exporting usage data, and managing schedules. To launch a specific Phantom with custom inputs, configure it in PhantomBuster's dashboard with a schedule or trigger. The agent excels at oversight, helping you understand what is running, what succeeded, and what failed.

How does the agent monitor which Phantoms are currently running?

The agent calls PhantomBuster's Fetch Running Containers endpoint, which returns all active containers across your organization. Each container shows which agent it belongs to, when it started, and its current state. Your team gets real-time visibility into active automations without checking the dashboard.

What data is included in the usage export reports?

PhantomBuster's agent usage export produces a CSV with run counts, execution durations, success and failure rates, and per-agent breakdowns. Container usage exports add individual run timestamps, exit statuses, and resource consumption. Reports cover 1 to 180 days of history. The download link expires after 30 days.

Can the agent unschedule all Phantoms at once?

Yes. The agent can call PhantomBuster's Unschedule All endpoint to disable every scheduled Phantom launch organization-wide. This is a safety mechanism for when you are approaching rate limits, need to pause operations, or want to stop all automated runs immediately. Individual Phantom schedules can be reconfigured in the dashboard.

Does Tars store data scraped by PhantomBuster?

No. Tars interacts with PhantomBuster's management API, not the scraped data itself. Scraped leads and profiles remain in your PhantomBuster storage or connected CRM. The agent helps you monitor and manage the automation infrastructure, but it does not access or store the actual output data from Phantom runs.

What is the difference between agents, containers, and branches in PhantomBuster?

Agents are the automation configurations (your Phantoms). Containers are individual execution instances. When an agent runs, it creates a container that processes the task and terminates. Branches are script versions used in development. The AI agent can list all three, helping your team understand what is configured, what ran, and what code is deployed.

Can the agent check remaining quota before running expensive Phantoms?

Yes. The Fetch Resources endpoint returns your organization's current quotas including phantom slots, execution minutes, and storage. The agent can check these before advising on whether to launch additional Phantoms. This prevents unexpected limit breaches that would pause your entire automation pipeline.

How does the AI completion feature work within PhantomBuster?

PhantomBuster includes a built-in AI text generation module. The agent can send a prompt to this module and receive text completions, useful for generating personalized outreach messages for scraped leads. You specify the model, temperature, and max tokens. The generated text can be used to craft LinkedIn messages or email copy at scale.
