Unify builds account qualification agents powered by LangGraph and LangSmith

The problem

Go-to-market teams needed a systematic way to research and qualify prospect accounts based on custom criteria, a task requiring web search, website visits, and multi-source synthesis that was not yet automated.

First attempt

The initial agent version produced inconsistent results and made it difficult to analyze reasoning. The early UX showed only a spinner during agent runs, which became painful as runtimes grew.

1
Account qualification request
trigger
“Given a company and a set of questions and criteria, the agent performs some research and decides whether they are "qualified" or not”
2
AI plan generation
ai_action
“The first step involves using a large model to generate a plan. In our testing, mainline models like gpt-4o did not construct particularly comprehensive plans without very specific prompting. The best results we obtained at this stage we…”
3
Reflect and web research loop
ai_action
“the agent then begins looping between a "reflect" step and tool calling”
4
Qualified/not-qualified output
output
“decides whether they are "qualified" or not”
5
LangSmith experiment evaluation
feedback_loop
“We're able to run a new agent version on hundreds of examples and quickly compare it against previous versions on a given dataset with very little in house ML infra work”
Reported outcome

Unify evolved to a plan-reflect-tools architecture with parallelized tool calls for speed and a real-time step-by-step UI showing the agent's decision-making, with LangSmith enabling experiment comparison across hundreds of examples with minimal in-house ML infrastructure.
