The problem it solves

Sending the same type of email to a long list of people, each with a personal touch, eats up hours every week. Keeping track of who you've already emailed and who has replied adds even more manual work.

Who it fits

A business sending reminders, follow-ups, or regular updates to a recurring list of contacts.

How it works

  1. You mark a row in your spreadsheet as ready to send
  2. AI writes a personalized email using the notes you left about that recipient
  3. The email is sent automatically through Gmail
  4. The spreadsheet is updated to show it was sent
  5. Any reply that comes in is automatically logged back to the spreadsheet

What you get

Personalized emails sent to your list, with sent status and replies tracked in your spreadsheet.

What you need

Google Sheets, Gmail, 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.
