Turn Podcast Guest Mentions into Personalized Cold Emails

What it does
Converts every new podcast episode into warm outreach. It reads the episode's guests and the companies discussed, enriches each guest with contact and role data, then drafts a Gmail message that references the specific episode and topic so the opener never reads as generic.
When to use it
Use it when you prospect into people who appear as podcast guests in your niche. The fact that someone went on a show is a strong intent and authority signal, and a same-week email that quotes their episode lands far better than a templated blast.
How it works
- 1A schedule polls the target podcast RSS feed for episodes published since the last run.
- 2Apify scrapes the episode page and show notes for guest names, titles, and the companies mentioned.
- 3Exa finds each guest's company and a likely professional email, plus one recent company signal worth referencing.
- 4A logic step skips guests already in the CRM or missing a confident email match.
- 5An LLM step drafts a short personalized email tied to the episode topic.
- 6The draft is created in Gmail (not sent) for a rep to review and send.
