Cold outreach was slow, generic and follow ups were forgotten. I built a system where ChatGPT writes each email, Gmail sends it, follow ups go out automatically and replies are detected and drafted in real time.

The problem
Writing personal emails at scale took hours, follow ups depended on someone remembering, and replies sat unanswered in the inbox.
What I built
An Airtable lead list as the campaign source
ChatGPT writes a personalised email for every lead
Emails sent through the Gmail API
Automatic follow ups after 48 hours, up to 3 emails
Real time reply detection with AI drafted responses
Airtable status updates at every step for reporting
The outreach workflow: send, follow up, detect replies and draft answers
