  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe claim under review, from TechCrunch on October fourteenth, twenty twenty-six: a startup called Floqer says AI agents can research sales prospects so teams don't have to.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo a machine now studies strangers around the clock, and the humans are free to do what, exactly? Wait for the machine to finish?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTechCrunch reports Floqer is a customer knowledge platform for business sales and marketing teams, with a database that continuously collects, organizes and updates what they know about customers.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorContinuously. It never stops learning about you, Hank. By Thursday it'll know more about you than your mother does.
