The AI chat is the primary interface of the LeadMagic CLI. Describe what you need in plain English and the AI orchestrates the right tools automatically. 
lm chat
Running lm with no arguments also starts chat — it’s the default command.

​
How It Works

When you type a message, the AI:
  1. Interprets your intent — understands what you’re trying to do
  2. Selects tools — picks the right LeadMagic tools (file loading, enrichment, validation, SQL queries)
  3. Executes the workflow — calls tools in sequence, handles errors, and presents results
  4. Streams responses — shows progress in real-time as operations run
