The problem it solves

Building a list of local leads and writing a personal opening line for each one takes hours, so most outreach ends up generic and gets ignored. Doing real research on every prospect just isn't realistic at scale.

Who it fits

A sales team, marketing agency, or freelancer running cold email outreach to local businesses.

How it works

  1. You enter a search term like a business type and city
  2. Finds matching local businesses and their websites
  3. Reads each website and pulls a summary and contact email
  4. AI writes a short, personalized icebreaker for each business
  5. Logs the business details and icebreaker into a spreadsheet
What you get

Opening lines ready before you write a single email

You get a personalized opening line for every local business on your outreach list, ready to drop into your emails.

What you get

A spreadsheet of leads with contact emails and a personalized opening line ready to use in outreach.

What you need

A Dumpling AI account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
