The problem it solves

You waste time and ad budget chasing leads that turn out to be bots or fake form fills. Manually spotting spam submissions is nearly impossible when they look real at a glance. Bad leads clog your CRM and skew your marketing results.

Who it fits

Marketing and sales teams that generate leads through online forms.

How it works

  1. A new lead is submitted through your form
  2. The system checks the lead's IP address for VPN or proxy signals
  3. An AI assistant checks the message for spam or bot-like patterns
  4. Verified leads are saved to a clean Google Sheet for follow-up
  5. Flagged leads are moved to a separate sheet and the team is alerted in Slack
What you get

Fake leads that never waste a rep's time

New leads get a quick background check for bot and spam signals before they ever reach your sales team's queue.

What you get

A verified lead list, a separate flagged-spam list, and instant Slack alerts on fraud.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, an AbstractAPI account, a Google Sheets account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
