The problem it solves

Chasing down every lead who went quiet after your first email is easy to put off, and by the time you remember, the moment has passed. Without a system, some leads just fall through the cracks.

Who it fits

B2B sales or marketing teams who send introductory outreach emails and need consistent follow-up.

How it works

  1. Your inbox is checked for replies to the original outreach email
  2. Leads who already replied are marked done in your tracker
  3. Leads with no reply after several days are identified
  4. AI drafts a personalized, casual reminder for each one
  5. The follow-up is sent as a reply and the tracker is updated
What you get

Leads who get a nudge instead of going cold

Leads who haven't replied to your intro email get a personalized, friendly follow-up automatically, keeping the conversation moving without extra effort.

What you get

A personalized follow-up email sent to every unresponsive lead, with an updated lead tracker.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Workspace account, and a Google Gemini 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.
