A straight line. Runs once per one per lead website.

The problem it solves

Generic cold emails get ignored because prospects can tell you never looked at their business. Researching every lead's website by hand before you reach out takes time you don't have, so most outreach ends up sounding the same.

Who it fits

A sales team, agency, or founder doing cold outreach who wants every email to sound researched instead of generic.

How it works

  1. A list of leads and their website addresses is pulled from your database
  2. The system visits each website and reads through several of its pages
  3. AI summarizes what the business actually does
  4. AI writes a personalized subject line and opening line based on that summary
  5. The finished lines are saved back to your lead record, ready to use
What you get

Cold emails that read like you did homework

Before you send a cold email, the lead's own website gets read and turned into a subject line and opener written specifically for them.

What you get

A personalized subject line and opening line for each lead, saved directly to your contact record.

What you need

A web scraping account, a database like Baserow or Airtable, and an AI 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.
