The problem it solves

Personalizing cold outreach takes forever when you have to look up each prospect's background one by one. Generic emails get ignored, but researching every lead by hand doesn't scale once your list grows past a handful of names.

Who it fits

Sales teams or founders running cold email outreach who want personalized messages without doing the research manually.

How it works

  1. You start with a list of leads waiting to be processed
  2. The system looks up each lead's LinkedIn profile, company, and Crunchbase data
  3. An AI assistant drafts a personalized subject line and email body using that research
  4. A second AI reviews the draft and only approves messages that meet your quality bar
  5. Approved emails are saved to your list, ready to send
What you get

Cold emails ready for your final approval

You get a personalized cold email drafted for each lead, complete with research on their company, ready for you to review and send.

What you get

A personalized, pre-reviewed email draft for each lead, saved and ready to send.

What you need

A data enrichment API subscription for LinkedIn and Crunchbase lookups, and a Google Gemini 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.
