The problem it solves

Generic "you might also like" emails get ignored because customers can tell they weren't written for them. You want to follow up on every purchase with a relevant offer, but writing something personal for each order isn't realistic when you're busy running the business.

Who it fits

An online store or ecommerce business that wants smarter follow-up than generic recommendation emails.

How it works

  1. A new order comes in from your store
  2. AI reads the order details, including what was bought and its value
  3. AI writes a personalized upsell email based on that purchase
  4. High-value orders get a different, VIP version of the offer
  5. The email sends after a short delay, and the send is logged for tracking
What you get

Upsell emails matched to what customers bought

You get a personalized upsell email sent automatically after every order, tailored to what the customer bought and timed to land naturally.

What you get

A personalized upsell email sent automatically after each purchase, with a record of every offer sent.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Gmail or SMTP account, a webhook connection to your store, and optionally Google Sheets for logging.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
