If you’re a content creator, business owner, or digital agency looking for smart ways to grow your client base or network, I’m here to show you how artificial intelligence is changing the lead generation game forever—and how you can harness this power for free, right now.
As someone who’s built multiple online businesses, trained thousands of learners, and scaled digital channels to over 445,000 followers, my mission is simple: help you use AI to build a real business and achieve smart, sustainable income with less stress.
If you’re here just for the prompt here’s a prompt that you can customize for your usecase:
I want to generate leads who are AI service provider agencies based in Saudi Arabia. Search in Arabic like "شركة اتمتة - شركة ذكاء اصطناعي - خدمات الذكاء الاصطناعي للشركات في السعودية" / and in English as well (each separately).
Name, Website, About, Contact (number/emails), Linkedin of the founder or head or team lead and other members, Address, Portfolio, Services + Examples, (if any), previous clients, pricing info, Analysis of the company, notes

plan, think, research.This Manus prompt should allow you to launch hundreds of ai agents to search the web and find you leads that you can start working on!
Let’s dive into a practical guide—straight from my own experience—on how AI agents, especially Manus, can automate your lead generation and bring real, measurable results within minutes.
Why AI-Powered Lead Generation Matters Now — and Why You Shouldn’t Miss Out
Let’s be honest: finding good leads used to be exhausting. Hours of Googling, scraping LinkedIn, filling up endless spreadsheets, chasing incomplete emails, and hoping for callbacks. That’s yesterday’s method.
Today, AI-powered lead generation (ايجاد العملاء المتوقعين بالذكاء الاصطناعي) can:
- Save you hours daily by finding leads, contacts, and profiles on autopilot.
- Surface better prospects, including hidden gems outside the usual reach.
- Let you scale up faster—whether you want to find 10 or 1000 prospects, it’s just a tweak of a prompt.
- Free you up to focus on what you do best—creating, selling, and adding value.
If your competitors are using AI, why shouldn’t you? Actually, those who utilize AI smart, outplay everyone in the competition!
Meet Manus: The AI Agent That Finds You Leads—While You Sip Your Coffee
So, what is Manus? Imagine having a team of digital researchers who can understand your instructions, search across the internet and social platforms (like LinkedIn and YouTube), and build lists for you—all while you watch results update in real time.
Here’s exactly how Manus works (and why it blew me away):
- You describe your dream lead (‘Find 100 content creators who talk about AI tools… get me their name, email, LinkedIn…’).
- Manus launches several “AI agents” simultaneously, each researching, cross-verifying, and collecting rich data—sometimes better than human researchers.
- You see every step: agents search, extract, validate, and give you a complete, exportable list (with names, websites, about, content angle, opportunities, even emails and sometimes phone numbers).
- In my test, Manus even let me run 3 different agents at once—so instead of waiting for one search to finish, I was building three lists (e.g., AI creators, Egyptian web developers, and local agencies) simultaneously.
Honest Pro tip: Manus won’t always give you every single mobile number—but it often pulls more useful LinkedIn profiles and direct emails than hours of manual labor.
How I Used Manus AI agent to Generate 104 Leads in One Hour — The Real Workflow
I put Manus to the test for my own projects—here’s my workflow:
- My prompt:
“I want you to research content creators (YouTube/LinkedIn) who talk about AI tools, AI agents, AI news, and related topics.
I need a list: Name – Website – About – Content – Collaboration with Hossamudin Hassan opportunity analysis – Contact (email) – Contact (phone) – LinkedIn.
The goal is to collaborate with them as Hossamudin Hassan. I need at least 100+.” - The results:
- In under an hour, I got a list of 104 potential creators—top names like The AI Search, The AI Grid, Simon Høiberg, Matt Wolfe, and more.
- Most came with direct emails, LinkedIn links, channel info, opportunity notes.
- I noticed phone numbers are less frequent—but that’s increasingly normal in today’s privacy-first world. Emails and social handles, however, were almost always there.
- Best part:
- I ran three agents in parallel—so, while Manus hunted AI creators, others found web developers in Egypt, and agencies for potential collaborations.
- It was like having a full research team at my command.
Want to try it yourself? Here are the exact prompts and formats you can use.
I want you to research content creators (youtube/linkedin) who talk about AI tools, AI agents, AI News, and relevant topics
I need a list: Name - website - about - content - collaboration with hossamudin hassan opportunity analysis- contact (email) - contact (phone) - linkedin.
The goal is to collaborate with them as hossamudin hassan.
I need at least 100+Now you can use Linkedin automation tools to automate linkedin outreach. I personally use tools like Closely HQ and MailerCloud.
If you want to scale your outreach and save hours each week, LinkedIn automation tools are essential. Personally, I use tools like Closely HQ—which helps me automate LinkedIn connection requests, follow-ups, and even messaging sequences, all while staying within platform limits and ensuring a personal touch.
Another option is GetSales, which is more focused on deep lead research and automating multi-channel prospecting for B2B companies. It has some ai features to write personalized and customized messages which is love compared to Closely.
Email automation tools are many, there is mailchimp, brevo (sendin blue previously) and many others. I’ve tried most of them but I like that Mailercloud is simple to use and is affordable.

- How do I get more emails/phones? Add keywords like ‘email verified’—but remember, some data (like phone numbers) gets harder due to privacy laws.
- Are AI leads GDPR compliant? Most tools scrape public/business info and are meant for outreach, not spam. Always respect opt-outs.
- Can this work for small/local businesses? Yes! Target local keywords, industries, or social platforms.
- How can I ensure quality? Regularly verify your list, personalize contact, and follow up with value—not just cold pitches.
