Name2Email
Find business emails from Gmail
What is Name2Email
Name2Email is a Chrome extension that works inside Gmail's compose window — you type a person's first name, last name, and company domain, and it generates a list of likely email address variations for that contact. Hovering over each suggestion triggers a popup that confirms whether the address resolves to a real person, so you can identify the right one without leaving your inbox. It's built for SDRs, BDRs, and founders who need to look up individual corporate emails one at a time without paying for a full prospecting platform. The standout mechanic is the in-Gmail variation engine: it doesn't just guess one format, it surfaces multiple permutations so you can verify on the spot. That said, it's a single-contact, manual tool — there's no bulk lookup, no API, and no way to feed it into an automated workflow.

Vanderbuild take
For SDRs and founders who need to find a corporate email address one contact at a time without leaving Gmail, Name2Email is a low-friction, point-solution tool — nothing more, nothing less. On the agentic readiness front, this is UI-only with no API available; you cannot drive it from an agent without scraping, which makes it a dead end for any automated or agentic outbound stack. Pricing signals are absent from the public site, so we can't assess cost risk, though the tool has historically been positioned as free. The core limitation is scale: this is a one-at-a-time lookup tool, and if you're working a list of more than a handful of contacts, you'll outgrow it fast and need something with bulk enrichment or API access.
