The problem it solves

Interested leads reply to your emails, and then they sit in an inbox until someone has time to notice and follow up. By the time that happens, the lead has gone cold or moved on to a competitor.

Who it fits

Sales teams who get lead replies by email and need fast, prioritized follow-up.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in Gmail under your leads label
  2. AI reads the message and determines sentiment, intent, urgency, and priority
  3. If follow-up is needed, a task is created in HubSpot
  4. Your sales team gets a Slack alert with a summary and priority
  5. The lead details are logged to Google Sheets
What you get

Leads that reach your team instantly

New leads land in HubSpot as prioritized tasks with your team alerted on Slack, so nothing waits in an inbox unseen.

What you get

A HubSpot follow-up task, a Slack alert, and a logged record for every qualified lead.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, a HubSpot account, a Slack workspace, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
