From an idea of who you sell to, to a reply in your inbox

1. Step 1 · Once, about five minutes

   Tell it what you sell

   A short setup wizard records your company, what you sell, and who you are. This is not paperwork — it is the context every AI-written email is built from, and it is the difference between an email about your product and an email about their problem.

   • Your company name and a description of what it does.
   • Products and services, with prices, so a quote email can quote something real.
   • Your own name and role, which becomes the signature.

2. Step 2 · Under a minute to ask, 10 to 60 seconds to run

   Describe the businesses you want

   Plain language, not a filter tree. What kind of business, which country, optionally a city and a radius, and how many you want back. No boolean syntax to learn and nothing to configure first.

   • Radius options run from 10 km out to 100 km, or anywhere in the country.
   • Ask for 5, 10, 25 or 50 companies at a time.
   • Companies already in your CRM are excluded automatically, so running the same search again returns new businesses rather than the ones you have.
   • The search runs in the background. Grounded searches take up to a minute, so it is a job you walk away from rather than a spinner you watch.

3. Step 3 · Immediate, once the search finishes

   Real companies land in your CRM

   Each result arrives as a business with an address, a website, a phone number and often named contacts already attached — and carrying the page it was found on.

   • Every discovery call runs against live Google Search and has to come back with source URLs. A response without grounding evidence is discarded rather than saved.
   • That means fewer rows than a tool that invents them, and every one traceable to a page you can open.
   • A failed search costs you nothing. Your allowance is only consumed after the work succeeds.

4. Step 4 · 10 to 60 seconds per company

   Find the people inside them

   A company is not a lead until you know who to write to. Contact discovery searches for named people in a role you name — operations directors, heads of procurement, whoever buys what you sell.

   • First and last name, job title, and a source page for each person.
   • Pattern-guessed email addresses are deliberately refused. An address that is a guess dressed as a fact costs you a bounce and some domain reputation.
   • Anyone who has clearly moved on is omitted rather than listed with a caveat nobody reads.
   • Found people are added as contacts on the company, ready to work.

5. Step 5 · Seconds to verify, seconds to draft

   Verify, then write

   Check the address can receive mail, then draft the message from what you already know about the recipient.

   • Verification checks syntax, the domain, MX records, disposable providers and role accounts, and returns a confidence score that says what it actually established. It is unlimited on every plan, including Free.
   • The email generator takes five message types — introduction, follow-up, quote, meeting request, reconnect — five tones, and three lengths from 60 to 250 words.
   • It writes from your setup and the recipient's record. The opening line is required to be about them, because an email that opens by describing the sender is the reason most cold email is ignored.
   • You edit whatever you like before anything sends.

6. Step 6 · Ongoing, once your mailbox is connected

   Send from your own mailbox

   Connect Gmail, Microsoft 365 or any SMTP account. Mail leaves under your domain and replies arrive in the inbox you already watch.

   • New mailboxes ramp up gradually and wait a randomised interval between sends. A new domain sending at volume on a perfectly regular cadence is what spam filters look for, so neither can be turned off.
   • One-click unsubscribe headers on every message, and a suppression list checked before every send.
   • Opens, clicks and replies are tracked per message.
   • Replies are detected over IMAP and stop the sequence, out-of-office messages excepted. The reply becomes an opportunity in the pipeline you already have.

Questions

How long does a search actually take?

Ten to sixty seconds. Grounded search is slower than an ungrounded model because it is genuinely reading the web rather than recalling it, which is the entire point. Searches run as background jobs and the results appear in your CRM when they are ready, so you are not sitting watching a progress bar.

What counts against my monthly allowance?

One AI lead is one company or one contact. A search returning 10 companies with 1 contact each uses 20 leads. Enrichment and AI email generation have their own separate allowances. Email verification is unlimited on every plan, including the free one, because it costs a DNS lookup and metering it would be theatre.

Do I need to connect a mailbox to use any of this?

No. Discovery, the CRM and verification all work without one. A mailbox is only needed when you want to send, and you connect it at that point rather than during signup.

What if a search returns nothing?

Then nothing is saved and nothing is charged. A result that cannot be traced back to a real source page is discarded rather than stored, so an empty result is the system working rather than failing. Usually it means the industry description was too narrow or the radius too tight.

Can I import contacts I already have?

Yes. CSV import runs a dry run first, showing exactly what would be created and what would be skipped before anything is written. Combined name columns are split into first and last on the way in.

How quickly does a reply stop a sequence?

Reply detection polls your mailbox over IMAP every fifteen minutes, so within that window. Out-of-office replies are recognised and deliberately do not stop anything, because an automatic bounce-back is not a conversation.
