The problem it solves

Following up on cold outreach takes constant attention: reading every reply, figuring out if someone's interested, and updating your CRM by hand. Leads go cold because nobody got back to them fast enough, or a rep loses track of who's actually engaged. You need consistent follow-up without a full-time person dedicated to it.

Who it fits

Founders, growth teams, and agencies running cold email outreach who need fast, consistent follow-up.

How it works

  1. A reply comes into Gmail from a prospect
  2. AI reads the message and classifies the intent, sentiment, and urgency
  3. When appropriate, AI drafts a personalized reply matching the sender's tone
  4. The lead's score and CRM record are updated based on the interaction
  5. A daily report summarizes lead activity and where things stand
What you get

Replies drafted and ready to send

Every reply to your cold emails gets read, classified by intent and urgency, and answered with a drafted response while your CRM and lead scores stay current.

What you get

An always-current CRM record, an AI-drafted reply when needed, and a daily lead performance report.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, a NocoDB account, and an email sending service like Brevo.

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.
