The problem it solves

Sending the same batch of emails one by one and then manually checking who replied eats up your week. Keeping track of who's been contacted and who's responded gets messy fast.

Who it fits

A small business or solo operator running outreach or follow-ups without a dedicated email tool.

How it works

  1. You list recipients, subject, and message in a Google Sheet and mark them ready to send
  2. The system sends each email through Gmail and updates the status to sent
  3. It watches your inbox for new replies
  4. Any reply is matched to the right recipient and logged back in the sheet
What you get

Outreach that keeps moving without gaps

Your mailing list gets managed straight from a spreadsheet, with emails sent automatically and every reply logged back where you can see it.

What you get

A spreadsheet that tracks which emails were sent and logs each recipient's reply.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Gmail 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.
