The problem it solves

You send follow-up emails to leads but have no idea who actually opens them, so you're guessing which ones are worth a second look. Paying for a separate email marketing tool just to get open tracking feels like overkill for a simple list.

Who it fits

A small sales team or solo founder nurturing leads without a full CRM platform.

How it works

  1. The system reads your lead list from a spreadsheet
  2. AI writes a personalized email for each lead not yet contacted
  3. The email is sent with an invisible tracking pixel through Gmail
  4. When the pixel loads, the open is detected and logged
  5. Your spreadsheet is updated with the send date and open status
What you get

Leads you can see are actually reading

Send personalized follow-up emails to your leads and see exactly when each one opens what you sent.

What you get

A spreadsheet that shows which leads received an email and which ones opened it.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, 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.
