Enrichley
The last check before you send, so your domain does not pay for it.
Enrichley is a contact enrichment tool, and one of the 52 tools hyreflow connects to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants. Through hyreflow, an AI agent can run 1 action, which looks something up. Paid Enrichley actions cost 0.25 credits per result, from your hyreflow credit balance, so you need no Enrichley account, though you can connect your own key.
Enrichley validates email addresses, and it is unusually good at the hard case: catch-all domains that accept everything and tell you nothing. Running a list through it before outreach protects a sending reputation that takes months to rebuild.
Enrichley is the gate. Everything enrichment produced passes through it on the way to a sequencer.
What can you ask Claude or ChatGPT to do with Enrichley?
With hyreflow connected, you ask for the outcome in plain language and the assistant runs Enrichley for you. For example:

- “Is this address safe to send to?”
- “Run everything FullEnrich returned through the deliverability gate”
