Re-engage inactive clients with AI-personalized follow-up emails

Every day, AI drafts and sends personalized emails to reconnect with clients who've gone quiet.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each inactive client.

The problem it solves

Old clients drift away and you rarely have time to follow up with each one individually. Your team either forgets to reach out or sends the same generic template to everyone, so the outreach feels cold and gets ignored.

Who it fits

Agencies and freelancers with a backlog of past clients who've gone inactive.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system reviews your client list for anyone who hasn't been contacted recently
  2. It checks whether the client already replied in the last 30 days and skips them if so
  3. It pulls the client's past email history and the situation that fits their case
  4. AI drafts a personalized re-engagement email based on that context
  5. The email sends through Gmail and your tracking sheet updates automatically
What you get

Quiet clients reconnected with tailored emails

You reconnect with clients who have gone quiet through personalized emails that reference your history together.

What you get

A personalized follow-up email sent to each inactive client, with your sheet updated to show who was contacted.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, and an Anthropic Claude 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.
