Campfire AI, a YC-backed gaming startup, is reimagining how players interact with NPCs using generative AI. Their proprietary engine, Sprites, powers emotionally intelligent, memory-rich NPCs—bringing dynamic, personalized characters to life in their debut title, Cozy Friends.

But rapid growth came with a challenge: manual lead qualification was draining time and energy from their team.

The Problem: Manual Lead Qualification Was Slowing Them Down

Campfire’s sales and marketing teams were bogged down with time-consuming research—digging through YouTube channels and social media to identify qualified leads. It was inefficient, error-prone, and kept them from focusing on building the future of AI gaming.
