The problem it solves

New leads and inquiries pile up faster than you can write thoughtful replies, so people wait too long or get a generic response. That slows down sales and makes support feel impersonal.

Who it fits

Sales, support, or marketing teams that need fast, personal replies to a steady stream of inbound inquiries.

How it works

  1. You start the process with a batch of inquiries in Google Sheets
  2. It reads each contact's name, intent, and original message
  3. It checks your Gmail account so the signature is accurate
  4. AI writes a tailored, professional reply for each person
  5. The reply is sent directly from your Gmail account
What you get

Inquiries that get a personal reply fast

Every inquiry in your sheet gets a tailored, professional reply sent from your own Gmail account without you drafting it yourself.

What you get

A personalized email reply sent to each lead directly from your Gmail account.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and an OpenAI 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.
