The problem it solves

When a cold email campaign takes off, replies pour in and sorting the interested leads from the auto-replies and unsubscribes takes real time. If you miss a hot reply because it's buried in your inbox, you can lose the deal.

Who it fits

Best for sales teams and agencies running cold email outreach at any real volume.

How it works

  1. Starts whenever a new reply comes into your outreach campaign
  2. An AI model classifies the reply as interested, not interested, or unsubscribe
  3. Sends a Slack alert with the lead's details and a preview of the reply
  4. Tags interested leads and unsubscribes anyone who asks, automatically
What you get

Replies that arrive already sorted by intent

Every reply to your cold outreach gets classified automatically, so your team always knows whether it's a warm lead, a question, or a no.

What you get

A Slack alert for every reply, plus leads automatically tagged or unsubscribed based on what they said.

What you need

A Lemlist account, an OpenAI account, 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.
