### What Extractor Does

Extractor pulls the audience from under any tweet — people who replied, liked, or retweeted — and saves them as a customer list. These lists can then be used directly in Outreach Agent and AutoDM.

### Extracting from a Tweet

To extract an audience from a tweet:

Steps:

1. Go to Tools → Extractor.
2. Paste the tweet URL or tweet ID into the 'From Tweet' input box.
3. Select the source type: From replies, From likes, or From retweets.
4. Click 'Extract' — Volumn.ai will fetch and save the user list.
5. The new list appears in 'My List' below with a count of extracted users.

### Using Extracted Lists

Once extracted, a list can be used in Outreach Agent (for personalised DMs) or AutoDM (for bulk messaging). Click 'Export' to download the list as a CSV.

Tip: Target tweets from competitors or thought leaders in your niche. People who engaged with those tweets are likely to be interested in your product too.
