Bricks is the open-source, fully local alternative to Clay.com. It combines AI agents, advanced web scraping, and Puppeteer automation to turn raw CSV data into actionable business intelligence — without subscriptions, vendor lock-in, or sending your data to the cloud.

← Automation and scraping
Bricks: local data enrichment and outreach. Turns CSV files into business intelligence on your machine.

In simple English

Bricks is a local alternative to expensive cloud-based lead enrichment platforms. It takes a spreadsheet of company names or people and automatically fills in missing details using web searches and artificial intelligence. You connect your own API keys or run free local models so no data goes to a third-party server. It costs nothing in subscription fees, but you need some technical knowledge to run the local backend server.

What it is

Bricks is a local-first software tool built with React and TypeScript that combines web scraping, browser automation, and artificial intelligence agents to process spreadsheet data. It provides a spreadsheet interface where every column can run custom JavaScript, automated web searches, or multi-step artificial intelligence prompts.

What it is good for

Solo founders and sales researchers who want to enrich lead lists and generate personalized outreach messages without paying hundreds of dollars a month for cloud subscription services.
