The problem it solves

Finding new leads means manually searching for businesses, checking whether they have contact emails, and then writing a personalized outreach message for each one. That process can eat an entire day before you send a single email.

Who it fits

Sales teams or agencies doing outbound prospecting who need a steady stream of qualified leads with ready-to-send emails.

How it works

  1. A search term, city, and country are submitted through a form
  2. The system searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. Results are filtered down to only businesses with an email address
  4. Business and website details are cleaned and deduplicated
  5. AI writes a personalized cold email for each lead and saves everything to Airtable
What you get

Qualified local leads with a ready email

You get a steady stream of local business leads, each with a personalized cold email drafted and ready to send.

What you get

A list of qualified leads in Airtable, each with contact details and a ready-to-send personalized email.

What you need

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