Sales & Outreach

Autonomous AI Lead Generation & Sales Outreach Automation Platform

Phase 1–3 gates Passed

NL briefs, multi-source discovery, research/scoring, HITL outreach packages, and CRM sync with DLQ.

M0–M10 complete · API 1.0.0 · Closeout 2026-09-11

The problem

SDRs drown in manual prospecting, ungated cold email, and messy CRM sync.

  • Manual prospecting

    Lists live in sheets; ICP is tribal knowledge.

  • Ungated cold email

    SDRs send without approval packages or domain health checks.

  • Fabricated seller claims

    LLMs invent logos, metrics, and pricing.

  • Weak CRM hygiene

    Duplicates, missed replies, no idempotent sync.

  • Silent failures

    Sequences die; no DLQ; no operator inbox.

The solution

FastAPI owns ICP/score/HITL/RAG; n8n owns sequence/send wrappers — no fabricated seller claims.

Production lead-gen automation: ICP from natural-language briefs, discovery/enrichment, gated sandbox sends, reply classification, and CRM hygiene — not ungated cold email.

  • NL brief → ICP

    Structured ICP from natural-language sales briefs.

  • Discover + score

    Multi-source discovery, research, and ranked scoring.

  • HITL outreach packages

    Approve before sandbox or live send.

  • Reply → CRM

    Classify inbound, sync CRM, honor unsubscribe.

  • ABM queue

    Ranked filters and manual boost for high-value accounts.

Brief → ICP/discover/enrich → score → HITL → sandbox send → reply agent → HubSpot/Pipedrive/SF → DLQ/dashboard
