The problem it solves

Bad or fake email addresses quietly pile up in your CRM, whether from bots, typos, or people testing your forms. Manually checking every new contact is not realistic, so your list quality slowly degrades. Bad contacts waste your sales team's time and can hurt your email deliverability.

Who it fits

Sales and marketing teams who rely on HubSpot and need to keep their contact list clean.

How it works

  1. A new HubSpot contact is created
  2. The contact's email address is checked for validity and deliverability
  3. AI classifies the address as valid, risky, invalid, or blocked
  4. HubSpot is updated with the verification result and an internal note is attached
  5. Your team gets a Slack alert for risky or bad addresses
What you get

Bad contacts caught before they hurt your sends

Every new HubSpot contact gets checked automatically, and your team is alerted the moment a risky email address shows up.

What you get

An automatically updated HubSpot contact record and a Slack alert for any risky or invalid email.

What you need

A HubSpot account, an OpenAI account, an email verification service, and a Slack workspace.

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.
