KEY FACTS

  • TypeSafe AI and Treg jointly open-sourced an AI people-finding tool that has earned 6,400 stars since launch.

  • Each email lookup costs as little as $0.0089, and no fee is charged when nothing is found.
  • In a 292-person test, Treg found 289 emails for $1.49, while Clay found 280 for $10.34.
  • Treg can plug into agents such as Claude Code and Codex, and supports bringing your own provider keys such as Hunter.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The low-price strategy directly hits traditional subscription tools like Clay, but users' hands-on tests show unstable accuracy, indicating that beyond cost-effectiveness, reliability is the key to retention. The open-source plus agent-call model lowers the barrier to people finding and also steers competition toward data quality and ecosystem integration.
