What it does
Closes the loop from sourcing to a near-ready email. It scrapes podcast guests, enriches them, writes a tailored first-touch email that references something specific from their episode, and routes each draft to Slack for a quick human yes/no. Approved drafts are saved straight into your Gmail drafts to send with one final glance.
When to use it
Use this when you want the personalization volume of automation but refuse to send unreviewed cold email under your name. The Slack gate keeps a human in control while the workflow does the research and writing. Best for founder or low-volume, high-quality outbound.
