Run personalized multi-step cold email sequences automatically

Researches each lead, writes personalized emails, and sends a multi-step outreach sequence on a schedule.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats no reply triggers follow-up send.

The problem it solves

Writing individual cold emails for every prospect and tracking who got which follow-up is a lot to manage by hand, so most outreach ends up generic or falls behind. You want it to feel personal without spending your whole day on it.

Who it fits

A sales team or agency running outbound cold email campaigns at volume.

How it works

  1. A new lead is added to your list
  2. AI researches the company and role to find a relevant hook
  3. It writes a personalized, on-brand email for that lead
  4. It sends the email on an optimized schedule and spaces out follow-ups if there's no reply
  5. It logs every send and reply status back to your database
What you get

Leads who reply to personalized outreach

You reach every new lead with a personalized, well-timed outreach sequence that keeps working even when you're busy.

What you get

A running, logged cold email sequence with personalized messages sent to each lead.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Mailgun account, and a Supabase database.

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.
