The problem it solves

Personalizing cold outreach means visiting every prospect's website and finding something worth mentioning, which takes forever at any real volume. Without it, your emails read generic and get ignored.

Who it fits

Sales teams and virtual assistants running outbound lead lists at scale.

How it works

  1. Every day, the automation checks Airtable for leads missing an icebreaker
  2. It visits each lead's website and pulls the page content
  3. AI reads the content and writes a personalized icebreaker, summary, and email opener
  4. The results are saved back to the lead's record in Airtable
What you get

Personalized openers ready to send

Each lead in your list gets a personalized icebreaker and email opener drafted from their own website, saved right into their Airtable record for you to use.

What you get

A personalized icebreaker, summary, and email opener for every lead, saved in Airtable.

What you need

An Airtable account, a Dumpling AI API key, 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.
