The problem it solves

After someone buys from you, staying in touch with the right message at the right time is hard to keep up with manually. Send tips too early and the product hasn't even arrived; wait too long and the customer has moved on. You want consistent, well-timed follow-up without writing every email yourself.

Who it fits

E-commerce and product businesses that want consistent, personalized post-purchase communication.

How it works

  1. A new order in your database starts the sequence
  2. A confirmation email goes out right away
  3. It waits until the order is marked delivered before continuing
  4. AI writes short, practical usage tips and emails them to the customer
  5. Two weeks later, AI writes complementary product recommendations and emails those too
What you get

Repeat orders from engaged customers

Every customer receives a timely confirmation, helpful usage tips, and personalized product suggestions after their purchase.

What you get

A timed sequence of order confirmation, usage tip, and upsell emails sent automatically to every customer.

What you need

A Postgres database, 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.
