The problem it solves

Manually searching LinkedIn for the right prospects and then writing a personal note to each one takes hours you don't have. By the time you've researched a handful of leads, the list you started with is already out of date.

Who it fits

Solopreneurs and business development teams prospecting for new customers on LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. A LinkedIn search is run for the criteria you set
  2. Basic details for each lead are saved to Airtable
  3. A detailed profile is pulled for each lead
  4. AI writes a personalized description and welcome message
  5. The results are written back to your Airtable base
What you get

Leads researched and ready to message

You get a list of LinkedIn leads with full profile details and a personalized intro message ready for outreach.

What you get

An Airtable base full of qualified leads, each with a personalized message ready to send.

What you need

An Apify account, an Airtable account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
