Automatically research leads and send personalized cold emails

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per lead; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Building a list of good leads and writing a personal email to each one takes hours you don't have, so outreach either doesn't happen or feels generic and gets ignored. You want a steady flow of qualified conversations without adding another salesperson.

Who it fits

Founders, agencies, or small sales teams doing B2B outreach who want more booked calls without hiring more SDRs.

How it works

  1. Based on the ideal customer profile you set, the automation searches for and scrapes verified leads
  2. AI researches each lead's role and company to personalize the message
  3. AI drafts a tailored cold email for every lead
  4. Drafts are sent to you for a quick approval
  5. Once approved, Gmail sends the emails automatically
What you get

Cold emails ready after one quick glance

You get a researched, personalized cold email for every lead on your list, ready for a quick approval before it goes out through Gmail.

What you get

A queue of personalized, ready-to-send cold emails and a record of every lead contacted.

What you need

Google Workspace (Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Drive), an Apollo or Apify account, an OpenAI API key, and a messaging app for approvals.

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.
