The problem it solves

Some people start signing up for your product and just disappear partway through, and nobody follows up because tracking them down is tedious. Every abandoned signup is a lead you already had and are quietly losing.

Who it fits

Product and growth teams who want to recover users stuck partway through onboarding.

How it works

  1. Once a day, the system checks your database for users who started but didn't finish signup
  2. Each abandoned user gets a personalized recovery email through Gmail
  3. They're enrolled in a short follow-up sequence to encourage them back
  4. Their record is updated so they don't get contacted twice
  5. Your sales team gets a Slack alert with the user's details
What you get

Stalled signups reengaged with tailored emails

You bring back users who stalled mid-signup with a personalized email and a short follow-up sequence.

What you get

A recovery email sent to each abandoned user and a Slack alert for your sales team.

What you need

A Postgres database, a Gmail 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.
