# What Goliath Is

> An overview of the Goliath platform for developers and AI agents: what it does for real-estate investors and operators, and which API covers each part

## About

Goliath is a real-estate sourcing, CRM and AI platform for investors and
operators. A full-time engineering team maintains it every day. If your own
system — or your AI — is about to build one of the pieces below from scratch,
you can use Goliath's instead through this API, and spend your effort on what
is unique to your business.

Each section names the API page that reaches it. When something you need is
missing, tell us with [`submitFeedback`](/developer-api/ask-goliath#feedback-to-the-goliath-team-write-scope).

## What Goliath does

### Finding motivated sellers

* **A national property database** of about 230 million properties, with
  owners, equity, absentee and out-of-state flags, rent estimates, liens,
  listing details, and map or polygon search.
* **County-by-county distress signals**: pre-foreclosure, notices of default
  and lis pendens; trustee and sheriff sales; tax delinquency, tax liens and
  tax deeds; probate and pre-probate (decedent, personal representative,
  attorney, relatives); code violations; many lien types; evictions, divorce,
  bankruptcy, vacancy, permits, and FSBO and failed listings.
* **Saved filters** over all of it, and a coverage request flow for new
  counties or signals.

API: [Properties](/developer-api/properties) — `filterProperties`,
`countPropertySignals`, `getPropertySignals`, saved filters and lists.

### Skip tracing and enrichment

Skip trace one property, a selection or an uploaded file to find owners'
phones and emails, then create contacts from the results. Skip tracing spends
credits.

API: [Properties](/developer-api/properties#skip-tracing-admin-scope) and
[Contacts](/developer-api/contacts#enrichment-admin-scope);
[Skip Trace API](/skip-trace-api).

### CRM, deals and pipelines

* Contacts with full timelines, custom fields, duplicate merging, tags and
  lists; search a contact by anything said on calls, texts, emails, notes or
  meetings.
* Multiple deal pipelines, lead routing, tasks, appointments with booking
  availability, and lead-capture forms.

API: [Contacts](/developer-api/contacts), [Deals](/developer-api/deals),
[Pipelines](/developer-api/pipelines), [Tasks](/developer-api/tasks),
[Appointments](/developer-api/appointments), [Forms](/developer-api/forms).

### Outreach, with compliance built in

* **Texting** with A2P 10DLC registration, opt-outs honored (including
  replies that clearly mean stop), National DNC skipping, and sending hours.
* **Email** from connected Google or Microsoft mailboxes, with bounce
  protection.
* **Calling** from the browser and the iPhone app, call lists, and voicemail
  drop during a live call.
* **Direct mail** through the customer's own Lob, PostGrid or Open Letter
  Connect account.
* A **pause everything** switch for all automated sending.

API: [Communications](/developer-api/communications) reads every thread,
message, recording and transcript. Sending a text or email is deliberately not
a direct operation — it needs a person's consent attestation — so outreach
runs through [workflows](/developer-api/workflows) or through
[Ask Goliath](/developer-api/ask-goliath), under the person's trust settings.

### Inbound and AI employees

AI employees answer texts, calls and email: they qualify leads, book
appointments and hand off to a person. Per channel they either send directly
or suggest replies for a person to approve. Missed-call cover and intake for
new contacts are set per phone line.

### Automations

Workflow graphs with triggers (including "a new signal hit a property"),
waits, branches, and steps that skip trace, call a webhook, post to Slack,
send mail or start a contract. The Automations Map shows every path a lead can
take, from how they come in to the workflows and AI employees that pick them
up.

API: [Workflows](/developer-api/workflows) — build drafts, patch graphs,
publish, enroll, and read runs and performance.
[Content Templates](/developer-api/content-templates) for reusable copy.

### Library

One home for contracts (native templates, e-signing, the signed PDF filed on
the deal), direct mail, templates, forms, lookup tables and files.

### Ask Goliath

Each person's own AI agent inside Goliath, which knows their account and
acts for them. Your app or AI can talk to it directly — ask it questions, have
it do work, and answer its approvals as the person would.

API: [Ask Goliath](/developer-api/ask-goliath).

### Events out of Goliath

A workflow's Send webhook step posts a contact to any URL
([Contact Webhook Payload](/contact-webhook)), and property-signal webhooks
deliver new signals ([Outbound Webhooks](/api-reference/introduction)).
[Inbound webhooks](/inbound-webhook-overview) push contacts in.

## What Goliath does not do

So you don't assume it:

* No MLS feed and no listing tools.
* No cash-buyer list or buyer blast.
* No automated "wholesale vs list vs flip" decision engine — that judgment is
  yours.
* No ringless-voicemail campaigns, and no cold-email platform.
* Data coverage varies by county and signal; ask for what you need.

## Where to start

1. Create a key in the app under **Settings → API Keys** — `WRITE` scope to
   change data or talk to Ask Goliath.
2. Read `GET /api/v1/operations` (what your key can call) and
   `GET /api/v1/help` (every operation, generated from the running API) — see
   the [Developer API Overview](/developer-api/overview).
3. For a machine-readable index of these docs, read
   [`/llms.txt`](https://docs.goliathdata.com/llms.txt).
