The problem it solves

Building a cold outreach list means searching for the right prospects, finding their contact details, and writing a personal-feeling email for each one. Doing that by hand for dozens of leads takes hours and outreach usually stalls before it starts.

Who it fits

A sales team, founder, or agency that wants to run outbound outreach at scale without losing personalization.

How it works

  1. You submit your target job title, company size, keywords, and location
  2. AI turns your criteria into a precise search and finds matching leads and companies
  3. It pulls out key details for each lead and writes a short summary
  4. AI personalizes a cold email for each lead using those details
  5. Emails are sent one by one with pauses between them, and your leads are logged to a spreadsheet
What you get

Cold leads reached with tailored emails

You get a steady stream of personalized cold emails sent to leads that match your exact criteria.

What you get

A spreadsheet of qualified leads and a batch of personalized cold emails sent on your behalf.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, an Apify account, a Google Sheets account, and an email account such as Gmail.

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.
