The problem it solves

You send outreach emails to leads, and some people reply asking to be removed. If you miss those replies, you risk emailing someone who explicitly opted out, which hurts compliance and your reputation. Keeping your unsubscribe list current by hand means digging through your inbox every week.

Who it fits

Sales and marketing teams running email outreach who need to stay compliant with unsubscribe requests.

How it works

  1. Checks your Outlook inbox every few hours for new replies
  2. Reads each reply to spot unsubscribe requests
  3. Adds the contact's email to a compliance tracking list
  4. Removes that contact from your active leads so no one reaches out again
What you get

Compliance risk avoided on every unsubscribe

You get unsubscribe requests caught automatically, with those contacts removed from your outreach list so no one reaches out again.

What you get

An updated compliance record and a leads list with unsubscribed contacts automatically removed.

What you need

A Microsoft Outlook account and a Google BigQuery 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.
