The problem it solves

Building a list of prospects on LinkedIn means searching manually, copying profiles into a spreadsheet, and writing individual outreach emails one at a time. Keeping track of who's already been contacted adds even more manual work.

Who it fits

A sales, recruiting, or founder-led outreach team building a list of LinkedIn prospects.

How it works

  1. You provide a target role and location in a spreadsheet
  2. The system searches for matching LinkedIn profiles and pulls the raw results
  3. It filters out invalid profiles and enriches the remaining ones with more data
  4. AI writes a personalized email and follow-up for each lead
  5. Emails are sent, and the spreadsheet is updated so no lead is contacted twice
What you get

Prospect lists that arrive already contacted

You get a list of matching LinkedIn prospects with a personalized email and follow-up already sent to each one.

What you get

A spreadsheet of enriched leads plus personalized outreach emails sent and tracked automatically.

What you need

An Apify account, Google Sheets, Gmail, and a Google Gemini 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.
