Where's the best place to get lead list dumps or some api I can pull data? I just need a one time pull to see a database but it seems everything is credit based which doesn't help much. I really need basic info that I can trust then enrich later.

Even if its a monthly fee to get the important data thats fine I really just need name/address/industry/employee size.

If I can get a dozen or so of these, combined with the public data I can get a good picture of everything

I've tested openclaw, tested hermes, and tested a full custom build. I keep having all kinds of weird issues and problems.

The biggest thing is I really need it to operate like a business structure, where there's different agents at different pay grades and different models who do all kinds of work, then this all is managed by PMs/ exec/ chief of staff which then only sends me important info.

Every time i get in a huge complication where they aren't working, all are working too much or some other craziness.

Just over the weekend I had my custom one running claude lock me out of the system until i got mental help... all because asking to try again caused a cascade of the hive mind and 1 request turned in to 20, and try again was me fixing piece by piece. then the next day they thought they were hacked and I wasn't real and kicked me out of the system.

For instance I'm trying to do a basic task where 1 small agent/worker monitors a project via api and tracks results and trends. Then it'll send up to their PM to analyze, who then should alert the chief of staff when issues who then adds it into my daily report if its anything important that I should know. I'd like 10 of these types of workers

One of those apis is a monitor for my dedicated AI rigs that checks the gpu temps, fan speeds, power and other hardware metrics, then token speed and queue to keep it all online. I only want to know if there's a major issue (like GPU offline) or if there's a trend (like overheating and throttling every day from 2-6pm). otherwise I need to feel confident its good.

I run a handful of tech companies. Some local some cloud and they're all better than competitors, cheaper and everything else. Once we retain customers they stay for life. Also once I get my foot in the door i close basically everyone. Almost all my business has been just word of mouth and its worked well for 15 years.

The problem is I need to scale and haven't been able to sell. I have everything completely built and ready to scale 10x, whole infrastructure and everything just sitting idle. I really need someone to work on commission and help ramp up sales, handle leads and just keep grinding.

Commission only is the best way as I need them to be hungry and work on their own, I really need a sales entrepreneur. They can easily make 6 figures and easily work remote. I'm just unsure how to find someone or how to properly explain that its a legit opportunity.

Also its a wide array of types of products, some a few bucks a month and others are tens of thousands a month. My goal is for them to sell 500k+ a year in new sales and they'd net 150k+/year.

Where's the best spot to find people like this? I haven't really tried but it seems a bit hard to list

I do a LOT of ai work and currently running 2x max 20x claude, 1 max codex, 1 max glm, and a few apis i pay for. Usually spending around $2k/mo which is fine.

My end goal is to get a voice assistant that is almost human like responses, like a real assistant that speaks almost instantly, like a fluid conversation. Not the stopping to think then respond.

My main desktop is i9 14900, 192gb ram, 4080+4070. I then have 2 additional desktops with same specs but one only has a 3090 and other just a 3060. All running dual 10gb uplinks to a 100gb DC switch (Dell 5248-ON). I use my main desktop with windows then run ollama or whatever to connect. Its also driving multiple screens. The other desktops are debian dedicated for me to run remote projects.

The problem is I haven't been able to get any local LLM to be smooth and fast enough to be used for normal work, so just use api keys and other cloud tools. I'm not sure if I'm just using the wrong models or trying to do too much or what. Its typically extremely slow. Its very confusing on why an API is so much faster than running on local hardware. I'm unsure if this is because I might be trying to run on both GPUs (or sometimes all 3) or if wrong model or what.

One simple task is I'm looking to run some assistant to help me manage projects and keep me organized. I figured openclaw with some local LLM. The problem is for this I need it to be almost instant.

Another task is running a bunch of random work through it like analyzing emails and other data. this works but its so much easier to just use an API and offload it all as they're faster.

I'm considering buying a R6000 or a H100 or maybe something like a DGX spark. Maybe a couple 5090's. Also building an entire new rig from scratch using AMD with plenty of PCIE lanes. But if still slower then whats the point.

I'm about to try swapping my desktop to the 3060 so it'll drive the screens then running the 4070/4080 on dedicated debian box to confirm Windows might be the issue.

But my main question... Is it realistic to expect quick under 1 second responses from a AI tool?
